PRELUDE Medley: This is My Father's World; We Adore Thee; & He Lives Babcock/Frazier/Ackley LIFE OF THE CONGREGATION Moment of silence to prepare your hearts for worship SONG OF DEVOTION (hymnal & screen) (please remain seated) #193 God Is So Good (vs 1, 3) LET US WORSHIP GOD TOGETHER CALL TO WORSHIP (Isaiah 12:3-6) Leader: Give thanks to God, and call upon His name! All: For God is great, and God is here! Leader: Spread the news of what God has done throughout the world. All: For God is great, and God is here! Leader: Sing praise, and shout for joy: All: For God is great, and God is here! Leader: Let us worship God together! INVOCATION Leader: Holy Spirit, open our hearts and minds this morning as we worship. Unite us in heart and mind and spirit this day. Let the object of our worship be God and God alone, that we might bring Him glory and draw ourselves ever closer to our Heavenly Father. In the precious name of Jesus our Savior. Amen SONGS OF PRAISE (screen) Hallelujah, Your Love is Amazing How Great is Our God CALL TO CONFESSION (Hebrews 4:14-16) Leader: Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens. Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us, therefore, approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Let us confess our sins to God in silent prayer.
SILENT PRAYER PRAYER OF CONFESSION Unison: Gracious God, we confess our need for You this day. On our own, we struggle and fall away from the path You have for us. With Your help, we are made new and given guidance and assurance through faith. Help us to put our trust wholly in You, that we might walk in Your ways and share Your glory with everyone we meet. Thank you for the restoration power of Your grace. In Jesus name we pray. Amen ASSURANCE OF PARDON (Psalm 103:13-18) Leader: As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him; for He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust. The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord s love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children s children with those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts. Sisters and brothers in Christ, believe the good news: you are forgiven. AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Apostles Creed Unison: I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
