ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Through faith we have overcome the world.
   It’s not by our doing but through faith in Jesus,
   the Son of God.
We are not bound to sin and the punishment of sin like
 we once were.
   God has shown great kindness to us and we love Him!
  Though we are imperfect, we live lives wanting to
   obey and follow Him.
God has done and continues to do a great work in us.  He
changes our outlook, our direction and shows us what leads
to life.  Praise God for His work in us.  Worship Him for His
faithfulness shown toward the people He loves.
 
INVOCATION

* HYMN   “God of Grace and God of Glory”                    # 307
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Heavenly Father, You make it clear that to love You is more than just something we say.  To love You means that we submit to
You.  That we are to deny the things we want or the things we
believe about the world in exchange for Your commands and
outlook.  We know this to be true yet we are so quick to reject
 it.  At times it seems like You require too much, that we are
sacrificing too greatly when in truth Your ways are not burden-some and open us to true living.  Forgive us for speaking of our
love for You without actions that reflect that love.  Forgive us
for being stubborn and proud to believe that what we want comes before what You want.  Restore our affections and obedience to You through the love and forgiveness we receive.  Amen

Prelude
Announcements:
Choir
Call to Worship:
We have gathered to rejoice in our oneness in Jesus Christ!  Each of us experiences faith and life in a unique
Way.
      Yet we have one God, one faith and one baptism, and      
      One Spirit who unites us all.
Let us lift our hearts as one, in songs of praise, in prayer, and in listening for God’s Word.
      Even when we leave this place, let us be joined in
      Common concern for humanity, like that shown by
      Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
INVOCATION

*HYMN       God of the Ages                            # 331
*Prayer of Confession:      Unison
Jesus, we want to live like You.  We cannot do that on our own.  We need Your mercy and grace day after day after day.  We confess our weakness; we continually give into temptation But rather than throw up our hands in failure, we choose to admit our constant need for You.  Demonstrate Your power through our weakness.  You have defeated our sin by Your death on the cross.  Let us live in the truth of who we are in You, not who we were before.  Make us holy; make us like You. Amen.
