Prelude: Toni Sears “Sun of My Soul” CALL TO WORSHIP: (from Psalm 29) Ascribes to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace. INVOCATION

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Our Father, forgive us for thinking small thoughts of You and for ignoring Your immensity and greatness. Lord Jesus, forgive us when we forget that You rule the nations and our small lives. Holy Spirit, we offend You in minimizing Your power and squandering Your gifts. We confess that our blindness to Your glory, O triune God, has resulted in shallow confession, tepid conviction, and only mild repentance. Have mercy upon us. In Jesus’ name. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 Passing of the Peace Prayer for Illumination Scripture: Matthew 3: 13-17 Mary Eselstyn Sermon “Water is Thicker than Blood” *Hymn : “Shine, Jesus, Shine” # 192 Presentation 0f tithes and offering Offertory “Holy, Holy, Holy” with “Holy is The Lord” Toni Sears Doxology Prayer of dedication The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn: “Fairest Lord Jesus” #630 *Benediction Postlude: “Christ of the Upward Way” Toni Sears

*Hymn: “ O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” # 88
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: God of Yesterday, today and tomorrow, God of the beginning and the end of times; You have called us to lay aside all that binds us from our love and service to You and Your kingdom. Though we know the power of Your grace and the new life You have begun, yet we confess that we continue to cling to our old ways. We have lived and acted time and again not as the new creation You have begun, but as the old person serving our sinful inclinations. Forgive us, Gracious God. By Your Spirit, lead us in a way that honors You, the Christ who is coming in glory to reign. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Prayer for Illumination Scripture: Isaiah 2: 1-5 Scripture: Matthew 24: 36-44 Sermon ”EVER WATCHFUL” (one verse intro) all 4 verses *Hymn : When Morning Gilds the Skies” # 667 Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology * Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer INVITATION TO THE LORD’S TABLE “Let us Break Bread Together” Communion “Alleluia” (insert) INVOCATION “A Hymn of Joy We Sing” (insert) *Benediction Postlude: Midi

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.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 43 Vindicate me, O God. Plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Rescue me from deceitful and wicked people. You are God my stronghold. Do not reject me. Send forth Your light and Your Truth. Let them guide me. Let Your Light and Truth bring me to Your holy mountain. Let Your Light and Truth guide me. Then I will go to the altar of God and praise You. God is my joy and my delight. I will praise You with the harp and music, O God my God. My soul should not be downcast within me. Put your hope in God, my God. I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. INVOCATION |
