   The steadfast love of the Lord endures forever! 
The Holy One is my strength and my might; 
   and has become my salvation. 
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice  
and be glad in it.

O God, You have been faithful, yet we have not loved You

“Operation Christmas Child” 
The Samaritan’s Purse project collects shoebox gifts filled with fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items – and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way.  For many of these children, the gift filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.  

There are empty shoeboxes and brochures with labels
in the back of the church.  Please fill a shoebox (or two) and return it to the church by Sunday, November 17.  If you have questions, you can speak with Christine Welling.

Thanks to all who helped with the 5 gallon bucket project.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Most gracious and merciful God, we confess to You that time after time, we have offered sincere sounding prayers, but our hearts have been closed to Your grace.  We have lifted our hands to You in praise, but our feet have still walked in the way of sin.  We have heard Your word and celebrated Your sacraments, but we have refused to see the needs of our neighbor. Forgive our lack of faith and love. Grant us the cleansing that can only come from You. We pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Prelude:                Carol Smith
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
L. We were all at once without Christ.
P.    We were without hope, without God in the world.
L. But by the blood of Christ, we have been brought near.
P.    We are citizens of heaven with all the saints, having access
        to the Father through the Spirit.
L.  Worship today the one who restores our hope, our, the Lord Jesus.
 
INVOCATION:
* Hymn   “Take My Life”                                   # 697
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Almighty and most merciful Father, we are thankful that Your mercy is
higher than the heavens, wider than our wanderings, deeper than all
our sin.  Forgive our careless attitudes toward Your purposes, our
refusal to relieve the suffering of others, our envy of those who have
more than we have, our obsession with creating a life of constant
pleasure, our indifference to the treasures of heaven, our neglect
of Your wise and gracious law.  Help us to change our way of life so
that we may desire what is good, love what You love, and do what
You command, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
