Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: God gives us eternal life. Even when we doubt or fear over this gift of salvation, God encourages us and gives us confidence. Even when we are drawn to believe what isn’t true, God restores our understanding. God hears us when we pray. We have confidence that God doesn’t forever turn us away even when we turn from Him. The Son of God has come so that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true. We are His and eternal life is ours. Praise be to God! INVOCATION
* HYMN “Lead On, O King Eternal” # 269
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Heavenly Farther, You teach us that no-one born of You, continues to sin. Yet we do. We sin in small ways and in great ways throughout our lives. We have been set free by the power of Your Holy Spirit and yet the power of the evil one still pulls us in different directions. You are our Father, we are Your children yet we act in disobedience every day. Forgive us for the many ways we have turned from You. Have mercy on us and extend Your grace to us that calls us back from sin. Give us new hearts that fully commit to You. Keep us from temptation and the desire to be wayward.

Hymn: He Touched Me
Call to Worship O Lord You have searched me, and You know me. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the seas even there Your hand will guide me. Your right hand will hold me fast.

Hymn: Jesus Calls Us O'er the Tumult
Call to Worship When I think of God's presence in the world, I am grateful. Grateful for the presence of hope; grateful for the gift of life. And when I think of the presence of God in my life, I am humbled. Humbled by the gift of grace; humbled by the invitation to begin again each day. And when I think of God's presence in this community, I am glad. Glad to be surrounded by holy people that are worshipping out holy God. On this Sabbath morning in mid-August, we thank you Lord for your presence and your incredible grace that is a free gift to each of us. We ask all these things on this Sunday morning in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. |
