*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Almighty God, though we know better, we have walked the roads of life without recognizing You and Your care in our lives. We have worried about our own needs and desires rather than hearing You. Too often, Lord, we have sought to love and serve ourselves and made idols our of things of this world. So, this day, we confess that we are in need of Your grace for forgiveness, for transformation. Open our eyes that we may see You and respond, knowing that Your righteousness extends to us and therefore, we seek to live by that same righteousness.

From Rev. Scott Shetter: This year, we joined the Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK walk. With Kimberly’s diagnosis two years ago, this fight has come to the forefront of our attention. So many millions of women are diagnosed each year. No matter the level of diagnosis, the physical, mental, and emotional toll are exacting. Medications are rough on the body no matter whether it is Chemo, radiation, or hormone suppressants. Each woman has heir own journey and survivors must heal at their own unique pace.Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of our fundraising efforts.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude Music Director Robert Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 11 In the Lord I take refuge. How can you say to me: “Flee away like a bird.” The wicked set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous man or woman do? The Lord is in His holy temple, on His heavenly throne. The Lord observes the sons of men and examines them. The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence His soul hates. For the Lord is righteous and loves justice; how joyful that upright men and women will see His face! INVOCATION Dr. Domske
Today’s guest speaker is Rev. Don Austin.

Welcome and morning greeting
INTROIT: Hymn: “His Name is Wonderful” CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 25) Lord, make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth, and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all day long. Be mindful of Your mercy, O Lord, and of Your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O Lord! Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.

Call to Worship Now is the moment of grace. This is the hour of blessing Today is the day of salvation. Here is the path to a new life. For this is the day that God is making. Let us rejoice and celebrate the love of our God.
1 Peter 3:8-18
Suffering for Doing Good 8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. 11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a] 13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats[b]; do not be frightened.”[c] 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. Footnotes:
1 Peter 1:13-21
Be Holy 13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a] 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. |
