Joel 2: 12-21

​                      Gathering Around the Word
 
Prelude:        Carol Smith
Announcements:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
The Lord is good and kind.
   Even when we turn and run.  He welcomes us home.
He is a good Father.  Slow to anger, refining us in His reproof of our sin, and quick to forgive.
   Who is like the Lord our God?
No one is like Him.  All of His ways are good and just even when ours are not.
   We give our hearts, not just our words and deeds to the Lord today.
God is jealous and takes pity on His people.  Worship today our Lord, our King, our Father.
   .
INVOCATION
*HYMN:   “Why Should I Feel Discouraged?                 # 661
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Father, we know that it is easy to say that we trust and follow You when it requires very little of us.  If all that faithfulness required was going to church or dropping some money in a collection plate, we could get behind that.  But when we learn that You require all of us, all of our heart, our affection, our trust, our time, our works, we draw the line.  We choose to give other things that should be given to You and still claim to love You.  Forgive us for
having misaligned priorities and devotion.  Forgive us for withholding parts of ourselves that ought to be given to You. Call
us back to You and to greater faithfulness.  Amen

CALL TO WORSHIP:     from Psalm 41
Blessed is the one who has regard for the weak;
the Lord delivers that person in times of trouble.
  The Lord will protect him and preserve his life;
   the Lord will bless him in the land and restore him.
The Lord will sustain her on her sickbed
and restore her from her bed of illness
   I said, “O Lord, have mercy on me;
  heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
I know You are pleased with me in my integrity,
for my enemy does not triumph over me.
  You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever,
  Praise be to the Lord our God, from everlasting to
 everlasting.

LEADER: Always strive to do what is good.

each other and for all.

PRAYER OF INVOCATION
*HYMN “We Give Thee but Thine Own” Page 708
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION - UNISON: Just and merciful God, we confess that we honor Christ with our words, yet seek our own glory and greatness. We prefer our own ease to the difficult way of discipleship. We have received much but returned little; we have learned many things but forgotten the great lesson of service above self. Enlarge the narrowness of our perspective with the wideness of Your mercy; fill the poverty of our imaginations with the greatness of Your vision; warm the coldness of our hearts with the fire of Your love, and draw us out of loneliness into Your fellowship; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
*TIME OF PERSONAL REFLECTION
*ASSURANCE OF PARDON - UNISON: “In Christ there is no East or West, in Him no South or North, but one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth.” In Jesus Christ there is new life, in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Amen
*Response - Gloria Patri (Hymnal page 58l)
*Passing the Peace

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.
