We were not able to record today's worship service. However, the bulletin and announcements are below. The Anniversary Committee is especially looking for recipes for a cookbook. Prelude: Ron Dobscha ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Lord, use this day of worship as a door for the Word. Help us to declare the message of Christ. Help us to hear the Gospel, to treasure it. Open our Hearts. Fill us with Your Spirit that we may know what it means to walk in wisdom. We come this day thirsty to hear the Word that will never leave us thirsty again. To receive the water that springs up to eternal life. We are here in this place to worship You, O God, we pray to You, we sing to You, all that we do is to worship You. You alone are worthy. INVOCATION: *Hymn “Spring of Living Water” see insert * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Lord, we come now ready to confess our sin before You and before one another. Even as people justified and born again, we struggle with sin every day of our lives. In our interaction with others we often have been walls instead of doors for the Gospel. Instead of presenting and making way for the good news, we often stand in the way and shut others out. We are not gracious in our actions and our speech, and we reject the wisdom that You impart to us. We look at prayer as a last resort instead of quickly turning to You in our time of need and sin. We recognize that our only hope is in Christ, so as we confess these sins today, help us to see the mercy and grace of Jesus in the middle of our sinfulness. Amen *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 119:41-48 Ruby Hathaway Sermon Text: Colossians 4:2-18 *Hymn “Here I Am Lord” # 69 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “This is My Fathers World” # 370 *Benediction Postlude: Ron Dobscha Birthdays:

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD. Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our Salvation. For the LORD is the great God. The great King above all others. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For He is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under His care. INVOCATION
*Hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness” # 39
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Father, we confess that we are often reluctant to accept Your ways, we are hesitant to believe that Your ways could possibly be better than ours, Instead of obedience, we allow our desires and understanding to lead us. Throughout our days we do not reflect the God that we belong to. Forgive us for wanting to serve anything other than You and reflecting anything other than our Father who has called us children of God. As we confess these sins and many others, we look to Your perfect Son who suffered in our place as our only hope in life and death.

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: In Christ, we have true freedom. Outward acts are no longer signs of our devotion to God but hearts turned in faith to Christ are. We worship God not with empty religious practices but with hearts that love and delight in Him. We died with Christ, He has made us alive in Him. Come and worship Him, the one in whom true freedom is found. INVOCATION:
* Hymn “ Take My Life” #697
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Father, we often think that all You want of us is the right routine. If we go to church enough, if we volunteer in enough programs That is all that You desire. We are guilty of wanting to appear Religious yet ignore Your commands. We devote ourselves to You on Sunday mornings and then turn from You the rest of the week. Forgive us for offering words of devotion to You but withholding our hearts. Forgive us for being satisfied by going through the motions and not offering our full devotion. Have mercy on us for these sins and the many we carry every Day. Amen *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 138 Don Herschell Sermon Text: Colossians 2: 16-23 *Hymn “Thy Word is a Lamp Unto My Feet” # 458 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “What a Fellowship, What a Joy Devine # 837 *Benediction Postlude: Ron Dobscha
