Gathering Around the Word
Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: The Lord calls His people to lay down their way of life for His. To take up our cross, and to devote our lives to following Jesus. What can we expect in our service to the Lord? Things will not always be smooth and easy, our old ways of life will fade away, we will be like sheep sent out among wolves. What will we gain in our service to the Lord? Just as the Lord has joined the Father’s glory, so shall we. To know God is our great reward both in life and death. We pick up our cross and will be raised in His glory. Come and worship our great Lord, King, and Savior! INVOCATION

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, You have created and blessed us with so many beautiful and wonderful things in this life. Yet in our sin, we have made the focus of our life on these things that bring us pleasure. We are drawn to the beauty of the world and forget how much more wonderful You, the maker of everything are. We become so obsessed with our momentary happiness that we resist Your call to deny ourselves and follow You. Forgive us, God for putting what we want before what You command. For ignoring the needs of our neighbors. For withholding the forgiveness, You so freely extend to us. As we confess these sins and the sinfulness that we don’t even see, we trust in Your loving kindness to justify and restore us.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 39 I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin, I will put a muzzle on my mouth in the presence of the wicked. Now, O Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in You, save me from all my transgressions and from fools. You rebuke and discipline men and women for their sin. Their wealth is consumed; each person is but a breath. Hear my prayer, O Lord! Listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. Look away from me, that I may pass the test. May I rejoice again before I depart and am no more. The span of my years is as nothing before You. Now, O Lord, what do I look for? All my hope is in You.” INVOCATION
*HYMN “Rock of Ages” # 438
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: His Name is wonderful. His Name is wonderful. His Name is wonderful: Jesus my Lord. O Lord, we sing songs such as this one and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”----but we do not act like it. We act like WE are the wonderful one. WE are the friend all should have. WE are selfish. Help us to know we need forgiveness. Help us to know that You must always come first in our lives. Help us to learn to have a forgiving spirit toward others. Thank You for being such a wonderful model of how to live. We are sorry we have sinned. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 36 There is no fear or respect of God before the eyes of the wicked. In his or her own eyes he flatters himself too much. The wicked person commits himself to a sinful course. He or she has ceased to be wise and to do good. Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens; Your faithfulness is like the mighty mountains. O Lord, You preserve both humans and beasts. How priceless is Your unfailing love! Continue Your love to those who know You, Your righteousness to the upright in heart. For with You is the fountains of life; in Your light we see the light of life coming in You. INVOCATION

(intro then 2 verses. Bells between verses) *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: O Lord, our Lord, You are amazing to love us. We, your creations, think we are the center of life. We do what is beneficial to us always, not considering what is best for our families, our neighbors, our church, our God. We are selfish. We sin. Forgive us, Father. May we see life and this world through Your Eyes. May we learn to love others as we love ourselves. May we honor You by our words. May we honor You by our actions. May we live as sons and daughters of God. Thank You for always loving us. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

Prelude Music Director Robert Senay ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 14 The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. The fool says in his heart. “There is no God.” These foolish men are corrupt, their deeds are vile. They have together become corrupt and turned God aside. There is no one who does good, not even one. God is present in the company of the righteous. The Lord is the refuge of the poor and their plans. Will evildoers never learn? They devour my people as men eat bread. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
