Prelude:         Ron Dobscha 
 
 ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 113) 
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, all of his servants! 
   Let the name of the LORD be praised now and forever more! 
The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens. 
Who is like the LORD our God?  He sits enthroned on high yet     looks upon the earth. 
He raises the poor and lowly and seats them with princes. 
Praise the LORD now and forever more! 
 
INVOCATION
*Hymn  “To God be the Glory” # 634 
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
O merciful Father, do not consider what we have done against you; but what our blessed Savior has done for us.  Don’t consider what we have made of ourselves, but what He is making of us for You our God.  O that Christ may be “wisdom and righteousness, sanctification and redemption” to every one of our souls.  May His precious blood cleanse us from all our sins, and Your Holy Spirit renew and sanctify our souls.  May He crucify our flesh with its passion and lusts and cleanse all our brother and sisters in Christ across the earth. Amen

Prelude: Carol Smith 
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
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: ​
*Hymn  “Fairest Lord Jesus” # 630 
 
* 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

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.  Amen

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.
