Prelude
Announcements:
Choir
Call to Worship:
We have gathered to rejoice in our oneness in Jesus Christ!  Each of us experiences faith and life in a unique
Way.
      Yet we have one God, one faith and one baptism, and      
      One Spirit who unites us all.
Let us lift our hearts as one, in songs of praise, in prayer, and in listening for God’s Word.
      Even when we leave this place, let us be joined in
      Common concern for humanity, like that shown by
      Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
INVOCATION
*HYMN       God of the Ages                            # 331
*Prayer of Confession:      Unison
Jesus, we want to live like You.  We cannot do that on our own.  We need Your mercy and grace day after day after day.  We confess our weakness; we continually give into temptation But rather than throw up our hands in failure, we choose to admit our constant need for You.  Demonstrate Your power through our weakness.  You have defeated our sin by Your death on the cross.  Let us live in the truth of who we are in You, not who we were before.  Make us holy; make us like You. Amen.

Sunday School: Resume of Those Called

2/4/2023

0 Comments

 
Good morning!
​We're so glad you decided to join us today!
When we meet together, we take time to share our joys and concerns together. Consider your past week. If you have any prayer requests, you can add them to this post as a comment. When you are ready, use the prayer below (source) to get started. 
Almighty and everlasting God,
You are always more ready to hear than we are to pray,
and to give more than we desire or deserve.
Pour down upon us the abundance of Your mercy,
forgiving us those things of which our conscience is convicted,
and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask,
except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord.
Amen.

Today's lesson is on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. 
Our Sunday School lesson is titled Résumé of Those Called.  Paul is addressing a division in the church between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. ​
Picture
Conclusion
Martin Luther believed that Godly wisdom was ordained by God and worldly wisdom is a human doctrine of glory which leads to the blinding of hearts.  To the world the brutal execution of Jesus does not seem like a victory. God’s power and salvation is revealed in the resurrection.

Prayer
Father, we bow our hearts before you.  Your ways are far beyond the ways of human wisdom.  May we rely on your strength and wisdom as we put our trust in your Son.  It is in his name we pray.  Amen.

Thought to Remember
God's ways seem foolish to a world impressed by cleverness and success.
Benediction
​This week's benediction is from the New International Version.
Picture
Next week's lesson is on 2 Timothy 1:3-14.

Our guest speaker this week is Rev. Renny Domske.
Gathering  Around  the  Word
 
Prelude                     Music Director               Robert Senay
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
 CALL TO WORSHIP               from Psalm 13
How Long, O Lord?  Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
    How Long must I wrestle with my thoughts
    and every day have sorrow in my heart?
My enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
     Look on me and answer me, O Lord my God.
     Give light to my eyes, so I do not sleep in death.
Yet I trust in Your unfailing love for me;
my heart rejoices in Your salvation.
     I will sing to the Lord, the Lord my God,
     for my God has surely been good to me.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
                                             
CALL TO WORSHIP:                                   From Lamentations 3: 22-27, 55-58
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.
26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.
I called on Your name, O Lord, From the lowest pit.
56 You have heard my voice: “Do not hide Your ear
From my sighing, from my cry for help.”
57 You drew near on the day I called on You, And said, “Do not fear!”

58 O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life.

VOTUM and SALUTATION:

INTROIT: HYMN: “God of Grace and God of Glory” 

CALL TO WORSHIP: Weary and overwhelmed, we gather. God’s holy word
revives us. Simple and confused, we yield. God’s word gives us wisdom.
Blind and uncomprehending, we await. God’s word enlightens our eyes. More precious than gold is God’s word. Sweeter than honey are God’s commands.

Sunday School: Called to Serve

2/27/2021

1 Comment

 
Good morning!
We're so glad that you've joined us today!

Lois did our lesson this week, and requested that we listen to this hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul."

Horatio G. Spafford wrote the text to this hymn. His son only son died of pneumonia. He then lost everything in the Chicago fire of 1871. He planned to travel with his wife and four daughters back to England. However, Spafford was detained with business at the last minute, and his family traveled without him. The ship they were on sank, killing all four of his daughters. When his wife reached Cardiff, Wales, Mrs. Spafford sent a telegram to her husband: "Saved Alone."

Spafford immediately went to join her. The words were said to be written as he approached the area of the ocean where the ship carrying his daughters sank.
When we met together in person, we share our joys and concerns. Take some time to think about the last week. Who might you pray for? What prayer requests do you have? If you have any that you would like to share, you can add them as a comment below. When you are ready, pray the prayer below, including any prayer requests we may have.
