Colossians 2: 6-15

8/25/2024

0 Comments

 
Prelude: Carol Smith 
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: 
We were once dead in our trespasses but in Christ, God has made 
us alive! 
    In Christ, we have been forgiven all of our trespasses. 
Our record of sin, as it was, has been cancelled. 
    It was nailed to the cross, and we bear it no more, Our God 
    has put the enemy to shame. 
And so we will walk in Him!  We are rooted and built up in Him! 
Let us worship Him today, the Lord Jesus who takes away our sin. 
 
INVOCATION: ​
* Hymn          “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!    # 1 
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison) 
Lord, we come to You with a ledger of sin that we seem to add to everyday.  Our actions do not reflect the love and devotion we have toward You, our thoughts and our hearts do not reflect our submission to You.  Even though we confess that You have bought us at a great price, we give ourselves to lesser things.  We trust though that through faith, You cancel the debt that we have built up.  That You alone can forgive and forget our wicked ways.  So we turn to You again this day for mercy.  We look to You as our hope bringing us from death to life.  Amen.

Prelude:            Ron Dobscha
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Everyone who serves God come and offer thanks.
   Thank You God for Your love to us.
Everyone who has gathered in this place, lift your hands and praise God.
   Thank You God for Your love in this place.
Shout praises to God for you are God’s servants, so shout praises.
   Thank You God for Your faithfulness.
Praise the name of our God who is kind and good.
   Thank You God for Your love endures forever!  We come to
    worship You today.
 
INVOCATION:
* Hymn          “We Are One in the Spirit”                            # 300
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Most gracious and merciful God, we confess to You that time after time, we have offered sincere sounding prayers, but our hearts have been closed to Your grace.  We have lifted our hands to You in praise, but our feet have still walked in the way of sin.  We have heard Your word and celebrated Your sacraments, but we have refused to see the needs of our neighbor. Forgive our lack of faith and love. Grant us the cleansing that can only come from You. We pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Colossians 1: 15 - 23

Next Sunday, we will be worshipping at the Washington County Fair at 11 am.
Prelude:            Ron Dobscha
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Jesus is before all things.  He holds all things together.
All that we see and that we cannot see was made and made for our Lord Jesus.
By the blood of his cross, all things are reconciled.
     Even when we were once alienated and hostile to Him, we find
     reconciliation in His body.
Jesus will present us holy and blameless, above reproach before God.   If we remain in faith, we will be welcomed into the glory that is His.  Let us worship today the one who does this incredible work out of His great love for His people.
        
INVOCATION:
* Hymn          “My Faith Looks Up to Thee”                                # 829
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Father, we have failed to love You as we should.  We have failed to love others as we love ourselves. We have chosen wrong when we know what is right.  We have rejected Your rule and submitted ourselves to lesser kingdoms.  Restore us O Lord and teach us Your way. Give us undivided hearts, that we may fear Your name. Then we will praise You, O God, with all that is in us, and glorify Your name forever.  Amen
