Prelude: Rob Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Our Lord Jesus is a light that shines so brightly that no darkness can enter in. Jesus calls us, his people, ”the light of the world!” So even in the darkest of days, the perfect light of Jesus shines forth, through us, for the world to see. Our lives are to reflect our Savior Jesus. When we live like Jesus, others will glorify our Father in Heaven. And so shall we as we come to worship. Come now to worship and glorify our God. INVOCATION
* Hymn “This is my Father’s World” # 370
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Heavenly Father, You created us to be Your image bearers on earth. That when the world sees the Children of God, they would know the Father. And yet, we often take this calling too lightly. We aren’t mindful of our speech and actions. We speak things we shouldn’t and do things we shouldn’t all while ignoring the things we should say and should do. Lord, forgive us for wanting to hide the light of Jesus in bowls so that no-one can see Him. Forgive us for our role in limiting the glory that should be given to our Father. Make us mindful of Your calling on our lives and create in us hearts that desire to fully submit to You. AMEN. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Matthew 5: 13-16 Sermon Text: Proverbs 12: 18, 16:24, 18:6-7 *Hymn “We Gather Together” # 336 *Apostles Creed Presentation of our tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the People The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies” #338 *Benediction Postlude: Rob Dobscha

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
*HYMN: “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” # 12
*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. Amen *Time of Silent Prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of illumination Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 31: 31-34 Lois Miller SERMON TEXT: Matthew 16: 21-28 *HYMN “Jesus Call Us” # 720 *Apostles Creed (next to Prayer List) Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayer of the people The Lord’s Prayer *HYMN: “Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart” # 804 Benediction Postlude

Prelude Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 40 I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit; He lifted me out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock, And gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth; He gave me a hymn of praise to our God. Blessed is the one who makes the Lord his trust. Here I am! I desire to do Your will, O my God. Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You have done. The things You have done for us are too many to declare. INVOCATION

Help me to reflect Your Love to my family. Assist me in sharing Your forgiveness and hope with all whom I touch and meet.

Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP With all of our hearts we give thanks, O Lord. For You are Lord of all and our praise belongs to you alone. We worship You today for all that You are to us. Your love is forever, Your faithfulness absolute. Throughout our lives we have called upon You. You have always heard us and given us strength. We will praise You forever, O God. And sing of the wonder of Your ways for all time. Amen.
OPENING PRAYER (unison)
God beyond our knowing, we believe that You care for humble people who seek to follow Your Word more than those who are pretentious and proud of power. You have protected Your people when they were surrounded by trouble. You have provided a way of escape in the midst of oppression. Your love never fails. Come, Holy One, to transform us. Work within and among us to renew our minds and build community. Nurse us into the health You intended for all Your children. You are our help and our hope. Amen. *HYMN “The Church is One Foundation” #321 *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Merciful God, we confess that we have conformed our lives to the ways of the world and not the ways of Your kingdom. We think of ourselves too highly and regard others as lowly. We exalt possessions and power when You alone are to be exalted. We let conflicts prevail over grace and divisions over harmony. Have mercy upon us, we pray. Forgive and transform us, that we may be holy and acceptable to You, discerning and doing Your will. Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of Illumination Scripture Matthew 16: 13 - 20 SERMON: “Do you know him?” *HYMN “Just As I Am, Without A Plea” # 442 *Apostles Creed Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer * HYMN “Open My Eyes” # 451 *Benediction Postlude
