Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP “For we were dead in our transgressions, but God, who is rich in mercy, made us all alive together with Christ.” Thanks be to God, who has shown us mercy and grace. “We have been saved by grace through faith, and this is not of our own doing; it is the gift of God.” Praise be to the Lord, who freely offers us this great gift of salvation. “We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Out of gratitude, love, and a transformed heart we are called to serve and honor our Lord through acts of love and compassion. As we gather today, may our hearts be filled with gratitude for the gift of salvation, for we were once lost but are now found in Christ. Let us offer our praise, our worship, and our very lives to the One who has made us alive and who is worthy of our praise. All together - AMEN INVOCATION
Today's guest speaker is Rev. Renny Domske.
Gathering Around the Word
Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 32 Blessed is he or she whose transgressions are forgiven; Blessed is he or she whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against him; Blessed is the one in whose spirit there is no deceit. I acknowledged my sin to You and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”—and You forgave. You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble. You, O Lord, will surround me with songs of deliverance. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding. The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous! Sing to the Lord, all you who are upright in heart! INVOCATION; *HYMN “ All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” # 263 (Intro then 4 verses) *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Heavenly Father, You have loved us. You sent Your Son Jesus to redeem us. You have brought us to the Light. You have revealed us and continue to reveal Yourself to us. You have called us to be Your Own. Forgive us for not being grateful. Forgive us for not staying aware Forgive us for not proclaiming Your praise. Forgive us for our selfishness. You deserve all the glory. Your love and Your gifts are unending. Teach our hearts to overflow with Your joy and Your praise. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you. And also with you. *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of illumination Scripture reading Ephesians 2: 11 – 22 Mary Esselstyn Haggai 1: 1 – 13 SERMON: “Is Your Foundation Tilting?” *HYMN “Softly and Tenderly” # 418 (Intro then verse 1 and 3) *Apostles Creed Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers for the people The Lord’s Prayer * HYMN “Seek Ye First” # 175 *Benediction Postlude

HYMN Be Thou My Vision 450
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON) Lord, settle us down as we come to you in this time of prayer. We confess that we are so prone to plan our responses that we don't really listen –– to you or to each other. We acknowledge that we are quick to speak, and slow to seek forgiveness for what we have said. We admit we are hasty in our actions, and reluctant to confess the error of our ways. We confess that we are quick to judge and lack the courage to hear the whole story when we have judged wrongly. Turn us around, O God. Grant us the grace to listen with love, to think with compassion, to pause and consider, to be a person others turn toinstead of away from. May the Holy Spirit be our guide in all we do and say, AMEN Assurance of Pardon *Time of silent prayer In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! * Response – Gloria Patri *Passing the Peace L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. P: And also, with you.
