Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir Carol Smith at Piano ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Tell of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice! He is the Lord our God; his judgements are in all the earth. He remembers his covenant forever; the word that He commanded, for a thousand generations. Praise the Lord! INVOCATION
*HYMN “Crown Him With Many Crowns” # 268
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father you call us to be and provide for us all the tools to be courageous. You repeatedly remind us that in this life we have no reason to fear. And yet, fear so often cripples us. Whether it be fear of what others may think or say, fear of how things will turn out in our current situations, or fear for our futures. We have squandered opportunities to tell others about the good news and opportunities to serve You all out of fear. Forgive us Lord for focusing more on the things and circumstances of this world and not relying on the power provided to us by the Holy Spirit. Help us to live out the calling that You have placed in all our lives. Grant us courage to use the gifts that You have provided us for Your glory. Have mercy on us and set our eyes on You.
