Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir Carol Smith at Piano ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Tell of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

*HYMN “Crown Him With Many Crowns” # 268
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father you call us to be and provide for us all the tools to be courageous. You repeatedly remind us that in this life we have no reason to fear. And yet, fear so often cripples us. Whether it be fear of what others may think or say, fear of how things will turn out in our current situations, or fear for our futures. We have squandered opportunities to tell others about the good news and opportunities to serve You all out of fear. Forgive us Lord for focusing more on the things and circumstances of this world and not relying on the power provided to us by the Holy Spirit. Help us to live out the calling that You have placed in all our lives. Grant us courage to use the gifts that You have provided us for Your glory. Have mercy on us and set our eyes on You.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: May Christ be exalted He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation For Him and by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible. We rely on His sustaining power He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is the head of the church and in Him the fullness of God does dwell. Today, as we come together to worship, may we remember and reflect upon the supremacy of Christ, who is our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer. Let us offer our praise and adoration to Him who holds all things together and who has reconciled us to God. Amen INVOCATION
*HYMN “The Church’s One Foundation” # 321
(intro then 5 verses) PRAYER OF CONFESSION Father, we confess that we have built many idols in our lives. We say that we will follow You alone and yet we are often drawn away by the world’s allure of immediate satisfaction and pleasure. We haven’t always been good stewards of our time, money, or energy. Instead of being a people focused on the well-being of others and Your glory, we have so often thought only of ourselves. Have mercy on us. Remind us that we serve a jealous God who desires our full affection. Yet even in our sin, encourage us of the coming day when sin and evil will be no more. Amen. *Time of silent prayer: Assurance of Pardon Response – Gloria Patri # 581 * Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of illumination Scripture: Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25 Sermon text Colossians 1: 15-23 *HYMN “In the Cross of Christ I Glory” # 213 (no intro then 5 verses) *Apostles Creed (next to Prayer List) Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *HYMN ”To God Be the Glory” # 634 (intro then 2 verses) *Benediction *Postlude Choir
