CALL TO WORSHIP:
L. We were all at once without Christ.
P.    We were without hope, without God in the world.
L. But by the blood of Christ, we have been brought near.
P.    We are citizens of heaven with all the saints, having access
        to the Father through the Spirit.
L.  Worship today the one who restores our hope, our, the Lord Jesus.
 
INVOCATION:

* Hymn   “Take My Life”                                   # 697
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Almighty and most merciful Father, we are thankful that Your mercy is
higher than the heavens, wider than our wanderings, deeper than all
our sin.  Forgive our careless attitudes toward Your purposes, our
refusal to relieve the suffering of others, our envy of those who have
more than we have, our obsession with creating a life of constant
pleasure, our indifference to the treasures of heaven, our neglect
of Your wise and gracious law.  Help us to change our way of life so
that we may desire what is good, love what You love, and do what
You command, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

VBS CELEBRATION
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose
sin is covered.
   Happy are those to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity,
   and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayers to You, O God.
   You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble;
   You surround me with glad cries of deliverance.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice; shout for joy!
   Let us worship the LORD our God!      
INVOCATION

* Hymn   “There’s a Sweet, Sweet Spirit                             # 408
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
 O Lord, we have sinned, and we need Your forgiveness.  Our desires
 and our affections are bent and broken. We hunger for that which
 will never satisfy, and we love that which leads us away from You.
Forgive us, Lord, for we come to You with broken and contrite
hearts. Form us according to Your nature and make us more like
You, that we may glorify You and enjoy You forever. In Jesus’ Name
We pray. AMEN

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
​
CALL TO WORSHIP: Our Lord Jesus is a light that shines so brightly that no darkness can enter in. Jesus calls us, his people, ”the light of the world!” So even in the darkest of days, the perfect light of Jesus shines forth, through us, for the world to see. Our lives are to reflect our Savior Jesus. When we live like Jesus, others will glorify our Father in Heaven. And so shall we as we come to worship. Come now to worship and glorify our God.

INVOCATION

* Hymn “This is my Father’s World” # 370

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Heavenly Father, You created us to be Your image bearers on earth. That when the world sees the Children of God, they would know the Father. And yet, we often take this calling too lightly. We aren’t mindful of our speech and actions. We speak things we shouldn’t and do things we shouldn’t all while ignoring the things we should say and should do. Lord, forgive us for wanting to hide the light of Jesus in bowls so that no-one can see Him. Forgive us for our role in limiting the glory that should be given to our Father. Make us mindful of Your calling on our lives and create in us hearts that desire to fully submit to You. AMEN.
