Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS; CALL TO WORSHIP: Praise be to You, O LORD, God of our Father Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, You are exalted as head overall. Wealth and honor come from You; You are the ruler of all things. In Your hand are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name.
*Hymn “Open My Eyes That I May See” # 451
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, in Your mercy hear our prayer. We confess that it is still all too easy for us to sacrifice our convictions for convenience, Your standards for status, Your principles for promotion, Your absolutes for our ambition, our souls for shallow and unsatisfying success. How easily we are seduced by power, prestige, pleasure, or possessions---seduced into violating our integrity or harming our fellowship with You. From earth’s fullest bliss we turn to You again, unfulfilled. Forgive us our half-hearted devotion and our double-minded spirit. In the name of Him who refused to save Himself we pray. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Daniel 3 Sermon: “Blaze of Glory” *Hymn “Lead On, O King Eternal!” # 269 *Apostles Creed (on back of Joys & Concerns) Presentation of our titles and offering Offertory *Doxology # 606 *Prayer of dedication Concerns and celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” # 337 Benediction Postlude Ron Dobscha

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mother’s Day Program CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 63) You, O God are our God. Earnestly we seek You. We thirst for You, our whole being belongs to You. Your love is better than life! We will praise You as long as we live. With our mouths we will glorify You. We will rejoice in God. All: Your hand, O God upholds us. *Hymn “Faith of Our Father’s (Mothers) 1 verse (see insert)
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
O most great, most just and gracious God; You are of purer eyes than to behold iniquity; but You have promised mercy through Jesus Christ to all who repent and believe in Him. Therefore we confess that we are sinful by nature and that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. We have dealt unjustly and uncharitably with our neighbors, We have not sought first Your kingdom and righteousness. We have not been content with our daily bread. You have revealed Your wonderful love to us in Christ and offered us pardon and salvation in Him; but we have turned away. We have run into temptation; and the sin that we should have hated, Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father! We confess You alone are our hope. Make us Your children and give us the Spirit of Your Son, our only Savior. Amen *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: John 10: 22-30 Sermon text: Joshua 3 *Hymn “Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead us” # 187 *Apostles Creed (on back of Joys & Concerns) Presentation of our titles and offering Offertory *Doxology # 606 *Prayer of dedication Concerns and celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” # 611 Benediction Postlude Ron Dobscha

ANNOUNCEMENTS: INVOCATION. CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 57) Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth! We will praise You, we will sing and make music to You, O God. We come today taking refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Great is Your love! It reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies! Be exalted, O God! Heaven and earth sing Your praises and we will too as we come to worship.
*Hymn “Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty” # 35
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Heavenly Father, You have called us to a great hope and purpose. You have invited us to abide in You in every season. However, we allow distractions to drag us away from Your presence. Instead of turning to You, we indulge our worries, frustrations, and disappointments. Forgive us when we seek shelter in our own comfort and control. Teach us again to trust You, O God, our Protector and Provider. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5: 6-10 Debbie Durila Sermon text: Joshua 2 *Hymn “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less” # 353 *Apostles Creed (on back of Joys & Concerns) Presentation of our titles and offering Offertory *Doxology # 606 *Prayer of dedication Concerns and celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “Standing on the Promises” # 838 Benediction Postlude Ron Dobscha
