Praise the LORD! All you servants of the LORD, praise Him! 
   We will lift up our hands in this sanctuary and praise the LORD! 
May the LORD bless us through His Word and this gathering. 
   Maker of heaven and earth, meet us now as we gather to worship You 
It is right, and we are made to give God worship and praise, let us do 
That now, joining our voices with the church of every time and to worship our God.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and  
too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of 
judgement.  Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open us to a future in which we can be changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in Your likeness and image; through Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Amen

Gathering Around the Word
 
Prelude:       
Announcements:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
God teaches us what is right, what is true.
We have heard the truth and we believe the truth, that the only way to know the Father is through the Son by the Spirit’s teaching.
Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
   We will abide in the truth just as God abides with us.
Praise God for such a gift freely given to us. Praise Him for the promise of eternal life.  Worship Him today for He alone is worthy to receive the worship of every heart.
 
INVOCATION

*HYMN:   “When Morning Gilds the Skies”                     # 667  
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Father, You have taught us what is truth, that if we are to know God then we must abide in Your Son, the Lord Jesus.  We know
what He has done, how He died in our place, and we know that we receive all the benefits of Jesus’ work through faith.  And yet, even after hearing this wonderful news, we elevate the things of this world to receive our worship and adoration when only You are deserving.  Our hearts and minds go astray.  We choose pride over submitting to Your will.  Forgive us for abiding in the world instead of abiding in You.  Have mercy and be gracious to us.  Remind us today that our only hope of fellowship with God isn’t through our works or any of the things promoted by the world but by trusting in the Lord Jesus.  In the name of Your Son we pray, AMEN
