Galatians 4: 21-31

Prelude:   Carol Smith
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 16)
Oh God in You we take our refuge! You are our safety, in Your
embrace we find all our needs met and our hopes are born.  
   You are our Lord, apart from You we have no good things!
Those who chase after other gods, who look to anything other than
You have not known the peace that our God brings.
   We could have all the riches in the world and still it is You
   that is our portion and our cup!
You make known to us the path of life.  You fill us with joy in Your
presence. Praise God today for His wonderful deeds!
  
INVOCATION
*Hymn  “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee                             # 611
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Heavenly Father, You know us so well. In fact, You know the very
depth of our hearts, even better than we know ourselves.  You
perceive even those times when we might act in a posture of
judgement and condemnation.  Forgive us when we fail to remember
that all human beings are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Help
us to be gracious and longsuffering with our friends, family and even
our enemies.  You alone have washed away our sins through the
blood of Jesus Christ.  Remind us that You extend to all people an
offer of merciful righteousness and grace.  May we be grateful for
Your love.  Amen

Prelude: Ron Dobscha 
  
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 63: 1-4) 
O God, You are my God: I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; 
 My flesh faints for You, as in a dry and weary land where there  
is no water. 
   So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary, beholding  
   Your power and glory. 
Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will  
praise You. 
   So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands  
   and call on Your name. 
 
INVOCATION: 
 
*Hymn  “Here in this Place” # 401 
 
* 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 judgement that consumes us.  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 evermore in the likeness 
and image of Jesus Christ.  For it is His name we pray,  Amen

Announcements:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Loving God, we come to You in worship and thanksgiving.
You are greater than we can understand.
    Open our eyes that we may see the wonderful truths You
    have shown to us in Jesus.
You are more loving than our hearts can respond to;
    help us to give ourselves to You in worship so that we
    learn what You want us to be.
You are wiser than we can know;
    still our minds as we worship You so that we can
    understand the things You are saying to us.
Loving God, in Jesus You chose to come to the world in humility.
You chose the path the world saw as foolish.  You used what the world considered weak.
    We worship and adore You.   Amen.
   
INVOCATION
*HYMN:   “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”               # 475
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Lord, we have sinned, without considering how much You love us.  You see our sins more clearly than we can ourselves.  Lord, You know when we are indifferent to Your word, the Bible; how often we forget to pray; the times we come unwillingly to worship; and yet we turn to You when we are in trouble., Lord, You know when we are untruthful and when we think evil of others., You see our anger and unfairness to our friends. You know how hard it is for us to forgive.  Forgive us and make us clean, so that we can obey Your call to take up Your cross and follow You.  Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.   AMEN.

CALL TO WORSHIP:
This is the season of holy waiting.
    We wait for the One who will tear open the heavens and
    Come down to save us.
We watch for the day when God’s name will be made known
Among the nations.
    We wait in the shadows for the Light of the World to
    Appear.
Come let us walk in the light of God!.
 
INVOCATION

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Lord, in this season of waiting remind us of our need for the one we wait for. Just like our ancestors Adam and Eve, we have disobeyed you every day of our lives.  We have thought that we have a better understanding of what is right and wrong and have tried to elevate ourselves to a position that belongs to You alone.
Forgive us for the pride that convinces us that our ways are better than Yours.  Forgive us for the many ways that we have ignored Your holy commands and chosen to do things our way.  We rely completely on the hope of the coming Messiah.   Amen

ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 121
L: I lift up my eyes to the hills — from where will my help come?
P: My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
L: God will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
P: He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
L: The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
P: The sun shall not strike us by day, nor the moon by night.
L: The Lord will keep you from all evil; God will keep your life.
P: The Lord will keep our going out and our coming in from this time on and forevermore.
All: Let us worship God.

INVOCATION Don Herschell
HYMN “Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above” #645

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)
You call us to become pilgrims, to follow you in a journey of faith. We would find it easier to follow when not so much is at stake. But you promise that you will be with us and that our needs will be met. You lead us into unfamiliar places, asking that we trust in your will. Yet we cling to our possessions, trusting in them for security instead.
O God, your way is challenging when we choose to be complacent. You make great demands; we are anxious and uncertain. Have mercy upon us and forgive our hesitant steps toward the promise. We ask this in the name of Christ, our Savior.

Those interested in serving in one of these roles should contact a member of our worship and music committee.

Each church has also been asked to ensure that the speaker system is in good working order and to provide a fellowship space and light refreshments after the service.  The presbytery will provide bulletins for each afternoon’s service.

CALL TO WORSHIP: Responsive Reading 
Psalm 104 Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty,


10 He sends the springs into the valleys; They flow among the hills.
 
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home; They sing among the branches.13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man,
 That he may bring forth food from the earth, 15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, 17 Where the birds make their nests; The stork has her home in the fir trees. 18 The high hills are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock[d] badgers.

Hymn: Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
 
Call to Worship
​​On that first day, when time began You gave birth to creation; light danced through the darkness; the waters of hope flowed free and clear. On that first day at the Jordan, when redemption began You spoke of life for all your children, as Your Child stepped into the waters of forgiveness, dancing in hope with his cousin, John. On this first day of the week, when we begin anew You call us to faithfulness, as we open our hearts to You, Your voice claiming us as Your own.
