Call To Confession Leader: Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor, trusting in the promise of forgiveness. Prayer Of Confession What a debt we owe to you, O God. You have given us all things in Christ and yet we withhold from you the honor and glory that are yours. Instead, we pay tribute to empire, plot to entrap the innocent, mock your truth with empty praise, and put your patience to the test. Forgive us, O God, and by your grace restore in us the image of your face; through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Silent Confession) In Christ s name we pray. Amen. Assurance of Pardon Leader: If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Christ. So we must consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God *Gloria Patri: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen. Passing The Peace Of Christ Leader: As a forgiven people, let us share the peace of Christ The Peace Of Christ Be With You. People: And Also With You. Leader: Let us turn and greet one another Remembering those that have gone before us (Please bring your loved one s flower forward when their name is read and place it in the vase) Jiles Gilmore Sgt 1 st Class E7 Robert Lewis Jane Napier & Jean Rayl Wayne & Gladys Zweerink William Hartley Ronnie Riggs Jim & Regina Ice Jennifer McCullough Randy & Jan Zweerink Tina & Matia Hartley ~ 3 ~

As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus, was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me! Jesus stopped and said, Call him. So they called to the blind man, Cheer up! On your feet! He s calling you. Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. What do you want me to do for you? Jesus asked him. ~ 4 ~
The blind man said, Rabbi, I want to see. Go, said Jesus, your faith has healed you. Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Sermon Hymn: Redeemed Seems like all I could see was the struggle Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past Bound up in shackles of all my failures Wondering how long is this gonna last Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son Stop fighting a fight it's already been won" I am redeemed, You set me free So I'll shake off these heavy chains Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be I am redeemed, I'm redeemed All my life I have been called unworthy Named by the voice of my shame and regret But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head" I remember, oh God, You're not done with me yet Elder, Kyle Miller Big Daddy Weave I am redeemed, You set me free So I'll shake off these heavy chains Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me 'Cause his day is long dead and gone Because I've got a new name, a new life, I'm not the same And a hope that will carry me home I am redeemed, You set me free So I'll shake off these heavy chains Wipe away every stain, 'cause I'm not who I used to be I am redeemed, You set me free So I'll shake off these heavy chains Wipe away every stain, yeah, I'm not who I used to be Oh, God, I'm not who I used to be Jesus, I'm not who I used to be 'Cause I am redeemed Thank God, redeemed* Laying On Of Hands Prayer for Nancy and Jim as they head off to Myanmar ~ 5 ~
