We were not able to record today's worship service. However, the bulletin and announcements are below. The Anniversary Committee is especially looking for recipes for a cookbook. Prelude: Ron Dobscha ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Lord, use this day of worship as a door for the Word. Help us to declare the message of Christ. Help us to hear the Gospel, to treasure it. Open our Hearts. Fill us with Your Spirit that we may know what it means to walk in wisdom. We come this day thirsty to hear the Word that will never leave us thirsty again. To receive the water that springs up to eternal life. We are here in this place to worship You, O God, we pray to You, we sing to You, all that we do is to worship You. You alone are worthy. INVOCATION: *Hymn “Spring of Living Water” see insert * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Lord, we come now ready to confess our sin before You and before one another. Even as people justified and born again, we struggle with sin every day of our lives. In our interaction with others we often have been walls instead of doors for the Gospel. Instead of presenting and making way for the good news, we often stand in the way and shut others out. We are not gracious in our actions and our speech, and we reject the wisdom that You impart to us. We look at prayer as a last resort instead of quickly turning to You in our time of need and sin. We recognize that our only hope is in Christ, so as we confess these sins today, help us to see the mercy and grace of Jesus in the middle of our sinfulness. Amen *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 119:41-48 Ruby Hathaway Sermon Text: Colossians 4:2-18 *Hymn “Here I Am Lord” # 69 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “This is My Fathers World” # 370 *Benediction Postlude: Ron Dobscha Birthdays:

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD. Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our Salvation. For the LORD is the great God. The great King above all others. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For He is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under His care. INVOCATION
*Hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness” # 39
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Father, we confess that we are often reluctant to accept Your ways, we are hesitant to believe that Your ways could possibly be better than ours, Instead of obedience, we allow our desires and understanding to lead us. Throughout our days we do not reflect the God that we belong to. Forgive us for wanting to serve anything other than You and reflecting anything other than our Father who has called us children of God. As we confess these sins and many others, we look to Your perfect Son who suffered in our place as our only hope in life and death.

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: In Christ, we have true freedom. Outward acts are no longer signs of our devotion to God but hearts turned in faith to Christ are. We worship God not with empty religious practices but with hearts that love and delight in Him. We died with Christ, He has made us alive in Him. Come and worship Him, the one in whom true freedom is found. INVOCATION:
* Hymn “ Take My Life” #697
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Father, we often think that all You want of us is the right routine. If we go to church enough, if we volunteer in enough programs That is all that You desire. We are guilty of wanting to appear Religious yet ignore Your commands. We devote ourselves to You on Sunday mornings and then turn from You the rest of the week. Forgive us for offering words of devotion to You but withholding our hearts. Forgive us for being satisfied by going through the motions and not offering our full devotion. Have mercy on us for these sins and the many we carry every Day. Amen *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 138 Don Herschell Sermon Text: Colossians 2: 16-23 *Hymn “Thy Word is a Lamp Unto My Feet” # 458 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “What a Fellowship, What a Joy Devine # 837 *Benediction Postlude: Ron Dobscha

Prelude: Carol Smith
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: We were once dead in our trespasses but in Christ, God has made us alive! In Christ, we have been forgiven all of our trespasses. Our record of sin, as it was, has been cancelled. It was nailed to the cross, and we bear it no more, Our God has put the enemy to shame. And so we will walk in Him! We are rooted and built up in Him! Let us worship Him today, the Lord Jesus who takes away our sin. INVOCATION:
* Hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! # 1
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Lord, we come to You with a ledger of sin that we seem to add to everyday. Our actions do not reflect the love and devotion we have toward You, our thoughts and our hearts do not reflect our submission to You. Even though we confess that You have bought us at a great price, we give ourselves to lesser things. We trust though that through faith, You cancel the debt that we have built up. That You alone can forgive and forget our wicked ways. So we turn to You again this day for mercy. We look to You as our hope bringing us from death to life. Amen. *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 92 Mary Esselstyn Sermon Text: Colossians 2: 6-15 *Hymn “Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound. # 649 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine! # 839 *Benediction Postlude: Carol Smith

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Jesus is before all things. He holds all things together. All that we see and that we cannot see was made and made for our Lord Jesus. By the blood of his cross, all things are reconciled. Even when we were once alienated and hostile to Him, we find reconciliation in His body. Jesus will present us holy and blameless, above reproach before God. If we remain in faith, we will be welcomed into the glory that is His. Let us worship today the one who does this incredible work out of His great love for His people. INVOCATION:
* Hymn “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” # 829
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Father, we have failed to love You as we should. We have failed to love others as we love ourselves. We have chosen wrong when we know what is right. We have rejected Your rule and submitted ourselves to lesser kingdoms. Restore us O Lord and teach us Your way. Give us undivided hearts, that we may fear Your name. Then we will praise You, O God, with all that is in us, and glorify Your name forever.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: May Christ be exalted He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation For Him and by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible. We rely on His sustaining power He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is the head of the church and in Him the fullness of God does dwell. Today, as we come together to worship, may we remember and reflect upon the supremacy of Christ, who is our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer. Let us offer our praise and adoration to Him who holds all things together and who has reconciled us to God. Amen INVOCATION
*HYMN “The Church’s One Foundation” # 321
(intro then 5 verses) PRAYER OF CONFESSION Father, we confess that we have built many idols in our lives. We say that we will follow You alone and yet we are often drawn away by the world’s allure of immediate satisfaction and pleasure. We haven’t always been good stewards of our time, money, or energy. Instead of being a people focused on the well-being of others and Your glory, we have so often thought only of ourselves. Have mercy on us. Remind us that we serve a jealous God who desires our full affection. Yet even in our sin, encourage us of the coming day when sin and evil will be no more. Amen. *Time of silent prayer: Assurance of Pardon Response – Gloria Patri # 581 * Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of illumination Scripture: Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25 Sermon text Colossians 1: 15-23 *HYMN “In the Cross of Christ I Glory” # 213 (no intro then 5 verses) *Apostles Creed (next to Prayer List) Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *HYMN ”To God Be the Glory” # 634 (intro then 2 verses) *Benediction *Postlude Choir
