Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: God is love. Through all of God’s characteristics, we are shown what love is. There is no greater love than this, God lays down His life in place of ours. We are people who have been shown great love and we are to be people of great love. God’s redemption through perfect love is the reason we can stand confidently in the judgement. The love of God casts out all of our fear. In life and death we stand firmly in God’s great love for us. Come and worship Him for His love endures forever! INVOCATION
* HYMN “Faith of Our Fathers (Mothers)” see insert
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your grace. Once dead in our sins, You extended Your merciful love to us and we are now made alive together in Christ. Yet we confess that we are still prone at times to follow the desires of our own flesh, and for this we are sorry. Please forgive our forgetfulness of Your gracious love. We are grateful that You do not judge us according to our sins, for we would not stand the scrutiny of Your absolute holiness. Because Christ died for us, He has been judged in our place and punished for our sins. May we now, in faith, fully identify with Christ’s perfect righteousness, simply by trusting in Him. We gratefully pray this in Jesus’ name. AMEN. * Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri * passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 47 Ruby Hathaway Sermon Text: 1 John 4: 7-21 The Word of the Lord Thanks be to God! *HYMN “Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart” # 804 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *HYMN “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” # 835 *Benediction Postlude Ron Dobscha
