ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
CALL TO WORSHIP     from Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation--
whom shall I fear?
     The Lord is the stronghold of my life--
     of whom shall I ever be afraid?
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord for all my days.
     I want to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.
     He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle.
Teach me Your ways, O Lord; lead me in a straight path.
I am confident I will see the goodness of the Lord.
     Your face I will always seek.  Wait for the Lord:
     be strong and take courage and wait for the Lord.
 
INVOCATION                                                   ​
* HYMN   “ Bless Be the Tie That Binds”                    # 306
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION               (UNISON)
Great God of this life, we confess that we have been unfaithful
to You.  We have worshiped other gods; money, power, greed,
And convenience. We have served our own self-interest instead
Of serving You. Your people and Your kingdom. We have sinned.
 
Forgive us, Gracious God, and bring us back into the fullness of
our relationship with you. You never let us down. We are honored
to call You our Father. We are amazed that Your Son died for us.

It’s Easier to Tell God What To Do

Our guest speaker today is Rev. Renny Domske.
Choir         # 300                    
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
Call to Worship:      “ from Psalms 26”
Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have led a blameless life.
I have trusted on the Lord without wavering.
     Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart;
     for Your love is ever before my eyes and my mind.
I walk continually in Your truth.
I do not sit with deceitful men or consort with hypocrites.
      I love the house where You live, O Lord.
      I love the place where Your glory dwells.
I proclaim aloud Your praise and go to Your altar.
I do not hesitate in telling of all Your wonderful deeds.
     My feet stand on level ground;
     in the great assembly I will praise the Lord.
* Hymn    “Standing on the Promises”                # 838
 
Prayer of Confession    (unison)
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, it is Your will that we should love You with heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbor
as ourselves. We continually fail. We confess that our affections continually turn away from You; from purity to lust, from freedom
to slavery, from compassion to indifference, from fullness to
emptiness. Have mercy on us. Order our lives by Your holy word, and make Your commandments the joy of our hearts.  Forgive our selfish ways and turn our hearts toward You.

  Gathering Around the Word  

Prelude
Choir Introit
ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 121
L: I lift up my eyes to the hills — from where will my help come?
P: My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
L: God will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
P: He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
L: The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
P: The sun shall not strike us by day, nor the moon by night.
L: The Lord will keep you from all evil; God will keep your life.
P: The Lord will keep our going out and our coming in from this time on and forevermore.
All: Let us worship God.

INVOCATION Don Herschell
HYMN “Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above” #645

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)
You call us to become pilgrims, to follow you in a journey of faith. We would find it easier to follow when not so much is at stake. But you promise that you will be with us and that our needs will be met. You lead us into unfamiliar places, asking that we trust in your will. Yet we cling to our possessions, trusting in them for security instead.
O God, your way is challenging when we choose to be complacent. You make great demands; we are anxious and uncertain. Have mercy upon us and forgive our hesitant steps toward the promise. We ask this in the name of Christ, our Savior.

* Assurance of Pardon 

*Response – Gloria Patri  (Hymnal page 581)
*Passing the Peace

L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 
P: And also, with you.
