ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: 
Come now, today and worship the LORD. Worship Him with all of your 
Heart, all of your might, with all of your soul, worship Him. 
   For His name alone is exalted. 
His splendor, His beauty is above the earth and the heavens. 
  The LORD has raised up for His people, a mighty and victorious 
   horn, Jesus the Savior. 
The people of God are close to His heart, He has kept His promises to us in Jesus.  So once more and forever more, praise Him. 
INVOCATION: ​

*Hymn  “Lord, I want to Be a Christian” #729 
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Heavenly Father, like the people of Judah who read and reread Your law yet continuously turned away from it, so we have been.  You have written Your laws upon our hearts and yet we harden our hearts to those things and suppress them for the ways of sin.  We have been rebels and disobedient children.  We commit ourselves to following You and are quick to turn from that commitment.  But even today, as we come before You covered in sin, help us to see the One who never sins.  Turn our sin weary hearts back to Jesus today and in His love for us, wash us clean.  AMEN

CALL TO WORSHIP 
Praise the LORD! 
   How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and 
   fitting to praise Him! 
The LORD heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of stars and calls them each by name. 
   Sing to the Lord with grateful praise. 
The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love. Come now, let us worship the LORD! 
 
INVOCATION: ​

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Almighty God, You have raised Your Son Jesus from death to life, and crowned Him Lord of all.  We confess that we have failed to bow before Him or acknowledge His rule in our lives. Instead, we have followed the ways of the world and failed to give Him the glory He deserves.  Hear our confession, forgive us, and cleanse our hearts to worship You. Establish us as Your faithful people, who move and act in obedience and love, and in imitation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. AMEN

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:    Debbie Durila   (Unison) 
O God, You have been faithful, yet we have not loved You  
with our whole hearts.  Remove the scales from our eyes, for 
 we overlook neighbors in need.  Cleanse us of selfishness, 
which keeps us from serving them.  Restore us by Christ’s 
redeeming sacrifice and purify our intentions.  Make us fit  
for Your service in Christ’s name we pray.  AMEN
