INTROIT: Hymn: “His Name is Wonderful” CALL TO WORSHIP: We seek a big enough God who has overcome all things. Jesus said, “If you would be my disciple, you must deny yourself and take up the cross.” We take heart knowing that “nothing can separate us from God’s love, which enables us to do all things.” This we do by the promise of faith guaranteed by God’s abounding grace. Amen.

INTROIT: Hymn: “His Name is Wonderful” CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 25) Lord, make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth, and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all day long. Be mindful of Your mercy, O Lord, and of Your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O Lord! Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.
Good morning!
We're so glad you've joined us today!

Lenten Bible Study: Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament Biblical laments are prayers that can be spoken, sung, painted, or communicated in some other way to God. Lament is a response to a momentous occasion of grief over which we have no control. For Lent this year, we will have a weekly online Bible study centering on prayers of lament, based on the current Horizons Bible Study, Into the Light. Each Wednesday of Lent, starting on February 17, a new lesson will be posted online to the same page that has our Sunday School lessons and worship services. This will be available throughout the day. These will include scripture passages, a lesson, and an opportunity to practice lament. You may share your laments, as you choose. If you have questions, please contact Nellie Baker or Christine Welling. We added Cody Clifford (Lois Miller’s grandson) to our prayer list this week.

Welcome and Morning Greeting
INTROIT: Hymn: “It Is No Secret” CALL TO WORSHIP: In times of trouble and distress, God is always present with us. When we call out, God hears us. The name of the oLd brings comfort to heavy hearts. In God’s name alone do we put our trust. The Lord will help those who seek God. God will answer the prayers of the people. Some take pride in their might and accomplishments. We will boast in God alone. We rise and stand on the righteousness of God. Let us worship God who is faithful, merciful and just!
INVOCATION
Hymn: “Sweet Hour of prayer” CALL OF CONFESSION: God is a healing God, a loving God, and a forgiving God. Let us confess our sins before God. PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Holy and awesome God, through your Son you revealed yourself as the divine Healer, as one who desires for us wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Unlike the crowds who surrounded Jesus, urgently turning to him to be made well, we are all too likely to try to heal ourselves. We mask our pain instead of facing our fears and loneliness. We confuse what we need with what we want, and we are unwilling to allow you to change our desires to reflect what you want for us. Forgive us, merciful God. Forgive our willingness to live apart from the transforming grace and power of your love. Strengthen our faith so that we may trust in your healing presence in our lives. Amen ASSURANCE OF PARDON: Jesus stands ready to heal and forgive us; all we need do is ask in faith. God’s mercy is limitless. Thanks be to God! In Jesus Christ we are forgiven! Passing the Peace L. The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. P. And also, with you. CHILDREN’S SERMON PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION SCRIPTURE LESSON Mark 1: 29 - 39 Jesus Heals Many

To linger in the house of prayer, to walk beside still streams, to behold the radiance of creation. To sing our hymns with joy.

Good morning!
We're so happy you've joined us for Sunday School today!
It has been a little over ten months since we have met together for Sunday School. It seems like such a long time! When we met in person, we shared our joys and concerns with each other. Take some time this morning to think about what prayer requests you may have. If you would like, you can share them in the comments so that we can all pray.
Today's devotional reading is Psalm 103:1-14. I thought we could use that to build our prayer on. When you are ready, use the prayer below as a guide.

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.
Good morning!
We are so glad that you've chosen to join us today!
When we meet in person, we share joys and concerns. Take some time to reflect on your past week, and think about who or what you may want to pray for. If you have prayer requests you would like to share, you can add them in the comments below so we can all pray for them. You may also want to refer to the prayer list from last week's worship service. The prayer below is slightly edited from the one that we used for our Maundy Thursday service. Each small paragraph is directed at a different group of people. After each section, pray individually for those who may fit within that group.
