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.

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. |
