                         Gathering Around the  Word
 
Prelude            Ron Dobscha
Announcements
 
 CALL TO WORSHIP:
Jesus comes to take away our sins.  He removes it, removes our love for it and causes us to love Him.
    Jesus is what we were not.
He is our help when we are at our weakest.
    Even when we falter, He upholds us.
What a friend and advocate we have in Jesus.  Come and worship Him for He alone is worthy.
 
INVOCATION
* HYMN   “Because You Live, O Christ”                     # 249
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION;
Heavenly Father, as adopted people You call us to righteousness
You make it clear that people transformed by Your grace are to renounce the ways of sin and to live like You.  We know this and it is still a hard and long process.  Turning from sin is not easy and we fall for the same temptations over and over.  We do not bear the fruit that redeemed people ought to.  We do not practice righteousness; we do not love our neighbors.  Knowing that we are still, even today sinful, we look to our Helper and Advocate for help. Remember Jesus’ righteousness and not our unrighteousness.  Forgive us according to His mercy and not our stubbornness.  Prepare us as people restored to You and ready to give our lives in obedience. Amen               
 
* Time of silent prayer

*HYMN    “Crown Him With Many Crowns”                     # 268
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Father you call us to be and provide for us all the tools to be courageous.  You repeatedly remind us that in this life we have no reason to fear.  And yet, fear so often cripples us.  Whether it be fear of what others may think or say, fear of how things will turn out in our current situations, or fear for our futures.  We have squandered opportunities to tell others about the good news and opportunities to serve You all out of fear.  Forgive us Lord for focusing more on the things and circumstances of this world and not relying on the power provided to us by the Holy Spirit.  Help us to live out the calling that You have placed in all our lives.  Grant us courage to use the gifts that You have provided us for Your glory.  Have mercy on us and set our eyes on You.  Amen

     Prelude           Choir
ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
CALL TO WORSHIP     Psalm 44
We have heard it with our ears, O God;
our ancestors have told us what You did in their days, in days long ago.
     It was not by their sword that they won the land,
     nor did their arm bring them victory;
It was Your right hand, Your arm,
and the light of Your face, for You loved them.
     I put no trust in my bow,
     my sword does not bring me victory;
but You give us victory over our enemies,
You put our adversaries to shame.
     In God we make our boast all day long,
     and we will praise God’s name forever.

Prelude
ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:      from Psalm 37
Do not be envious of those who do wrong and are evil;
Like the grass and green plants, they will soon wither.
      Delight yourself in the Lord
      and He will give you the desires of your heart
Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
      Commit your way to the Lord and trust in Him.
      Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
Do not fret—it only leads to evil.
      Those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
      The Lord laughs at the wicked and loves the just.
 
INVOCATION
*HYMN   “Lord, I want to Be a Christian”            # 729
 
 *PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Lord, I want to be a Christian inna my heart, inna my heart.
Yet too often I love myself too much.  I care about what
affects me more than I care for my neighbor, my brother,
my sister.  I am interested in what value I receive from my
efforts rather than what value my efforts give.
 
Forgive my sin.  Forgive my selfishness.  Forgive my
lack of effort in telling others about Your love, Your hope,
Your forgiveness.  Allow me to “Taste and See that the Lord
is good” again.  O Lord God, I am still learning to love You!

                    Gathering Around the Word
Prelude
ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:      from Psalm 34
I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.
    I sought the Lord and He answered me;
    the Lord has delivered me from all my fears.
Those believers that look to the Lord are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
    Taste and see that the Lord is good!
    Blessed is the man or woman who takes refuge in Him.
Come, my children and listen to me;
I will teach you the fear and respect of the Lord.
    The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
    He delivers them from all their troubles.

 *PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Most precious Jesus Christ, thank You for taking away our sins.
Thank You for suffering so that we do not have to. Thank You for
loving us enough to die for us.
We do not deserve You and Your sacrifice. We approach almost
every day in a selfish manner. We too often think of You only when we are in need. In this “Land of the Free” we have made ourselves kings and queens of our lives –not You.
 Forgive us. Help us. Remind us of our need of You every day and every moment.

CALL TO WORSHIP  (Psalm 31)                         
L: Lord God, You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
P: For Your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
L: Take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for You are
     my refuge.
P: Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed
     me, O Lord, faithful God.

*HYMN   “ Rejoice Ye Pure in Heart”                               # 804
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)
Merciful and loving God, Your love for us is unconditional, yet our love for You, for others and for ourselves is often marred. We allow prejudice and pride to blind us; our brokenness remains unhealed; we cling to old stories and hurts which impede the work of reconciliation. Forgive us, we pray, for failing to trust You, for playing it safe instead of following the daring call of Your Spirit, for withholding forgiveness and grace from ourselves and others. Let Your love renews us yet again. Let the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead rekindle creative life within us and restore right relations among us. AMEN

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)
We confess to you, renewing Spirit, that we confuse unity with uniformity and diversity with divisiveness. We speak and behave as if being a part of your family means assimilating others to our way of living. We deny and destroy the beauty you created in each person. We long to change these patterns, O Creator, but we do not know how. Teach us to value challenge. Help us to see strength in difference. And empower us to build your kingdom in creativity and love. Amen.

   O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the
