Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 36 There is no fear or respect of God before the eyes of the wicked. In his or her own eyes he flatters himself too much. The wicked person commits himself to a sinful course. He or she has ceased to be wise and to do good. Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens; Your faithfulness is like the mighty mountains. O Lord, You preserve both humans and beasts. How priceless is Your unfailing love! Continue Your love to those who know You, Your righteousness to the upright in heart. For with You is the fountains of life; in Your light we see the light of life coming in You. INVOCATION

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 35 My soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in His salvation. My whole being will exclaim,” Who is like You, O Lord?” You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, You rescue the poor and needy from those who rob them. Contend for me, my God and Lord. Vindicate me in Your righteousness, O Lord my God. May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame; May all who exalt themselves over me to disgraced. May those who delight in You shout for joy and gladness. “The Lord delights in the well-being of His servant.” My tongue will speak of Your righteousness: My tongue will lift Your praise all day long. INVOCATION
*HYMN “God of Grace and God of Glory” # 307
( Intro verse and then 4 verses) *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, we need You every hour, every moment, every second. Our biggest sin is not acknowledging Your Presence knowing You are with us every step of our lives. We are sorry that too often we only think of You when we are in need, when we are hurting, when we are in trouble. We think too often of ourselves and too little about the One who Created us. Forgive us. Lead us on the crooked pathway through this life. Help us to turn our eyes to You, not ourselves. You are our Lord and Savior. Thank you for never deserting us. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

Prayer Request
Washington Presbytery and the Southwest Bethel Synod in Ethiopia have been partners for over 30 years. The Presbyterian mission there was started in 1947 by Rev. Charles Haspels whose first church was Emanuel Presbyterian in 84 PA. The church in Ethiopia is growing by leaps and bounds and Southwest Bethel Synod now has over 500,000 members! Washington Presbytery has supported this vital mission over the years through the Pumpkins for Ethiopia Literacy Centers projects, establishing an endowed chair in Rev. Haspels' honor at the Seminary, and visits back and forth. To recognize our partnership Rev. Lukas Cham, head of the Synod, has arrived in the United States and will spend the next 6 weeks visiting churches in the Washington Presbytery. Our Ethiopian Partners have begun a 6 week evangelism and prayer campaign. Thirty young evangelists will be traveling throughout the Southwest Bethel Synod area to share the good news of Jesus Christ. We are asked to uphold these evangelists in prayer. They will first go out to the towns where they live. This is inspired by the directive from Jesus to go to Jerusalem, Samaria, and the ends of the earth; they decided to start near home and move each week into harder and stranger places. After we pray, we are encouraged to send an email message to [email protected] letting them know we prayed for their work in Biftu. We can raise their spirits with a hundred messages, possibly one thousand. Please remember to pray not only for the work in Ethiopia, but also for renewal, revival, discipleship, witness and growth in our American church. There is great power in prayer together. Knowing that you don't pray alone, and thousands in Ethiopia are also praying for us at this time.

Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 34 I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord and He answered me; the Lord has delivered me from all my fears. Those believers that look to the Lord are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man or woman who takes refuge in Him. Come, my children and listen to me; I will teach you the fear and respect of the Lord. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. INVOCATION
*HYMN “How Great Thou Art” # 625
Intro verse 1 – bar- 2nd verse *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Most precious Jesus Christ, thank You for taking away our sins. Thank You for suffering so that we do not have to. Thank You for loving us enough to die for us. We do not deserve You and Your sacrifice. We approach almost every day in a selfish manner. We too often think of You only when we are in need. In this “Land of the Free” we have made ourselves kings and queens of our lives –not You. Forgive us. Help us. Remind us of our need of You every day and every moment. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
