* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
O King of Glory, we confess that our praise of Your majesty has often been faint, our performance as citizens of Your kingdom, treasonous. For we have surrendered to the enemy by our secret and our known sins. For our treason You died, Lord Jesus. For our restoration, You rose again. Draw us closer to You in this Holy Week, that our eyes may catch the vision of Your tears, and our hearts, the wonder of Your grace. By the Holy Spirit’s continuing discipline, let us be loyal and loving servants of the King. Praise be to You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Prelude: Carol Smith
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: (from Psalm 130) Out of the depths, we cry to You, O LORD! Let Your ears be attentive to our pleas If You, O LORD remembered our sins, who could stand? But with You there is forgiveness! We wait for the LORD, our souls wait and in His word we hope All you people, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love. He has redeemed His people. Let us together worship our great God and redeemer. INVOCATION: *Hymn “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us” # 187 * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, when our flesh fails us, when we give in to the sin that desires to pull us away, when we fail to flee temptation, have mercy on us. All of us have been led by our flesh instead of Your Spirit. We have fallen short sometimes in great ways that are brought to light and sometimes in our hearts where only You can see. Our only hope is in a Redeemer who takes the cross in our place. Forgive us Lord, and remember the work of Your Son when we have sinned. Restore to us the peace that comes through forgiveness and reset our focus on following You.

Jean Kuhn is doing better and hopefully will be home soon. Thanks to all who helped with the 5 gallon bucket project. Your help was greatly appreciated. We were not able to record today's worship service. However, the bulletin and announcements are below. The Anniversary Committee is especially looking for recipes for a cookbook. Prelude: Ron Dobscha ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Lord, use this day of worship as a door for the Word. Help us to declare the message of Christ. Help us to hear the Gospel, to treasure it. Open our Hearts. Fill us with Your Spirit that we may know what it means to walk in wisdom. We come this day thirsty to hear the Word that will never leave us thirsty again. To receive the water that springs up to eternal life. We are here in this place to worship You, O God, we pray to You, we sing to You, all that we do is to worship You. You alone are worthy. INVOCATION: *Hymn “Spring of Living Water” see insert * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Lord, we come now ready to confess our sin before You and before one another. Even as people justified and born again, we struggle with sin every day of our lives. In our interaction with others we often have been walls instead of doors for the Gospel. Instead of presenting and making way for the good news, we often stand in the way and shut others out. We are not gracious in our actions and our speech, and we reject the wisdom that You impart to us. We look at prayer as a last resort instead of quickly turning to You in our time of need and sin. We recognize that our only hope is in Christ, so as we confess these sins today, help us to see the mercy and grace of Jesus in the middle of our sinfulness. Amen *Time of silent prayer. *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: Psalm 119:41-48 Ruby Hathaway Sermon Text: Colossians 4:2-18 *Hymn “Here I Am Lord” # 69 *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 “This is My Fathers World” # 370 *Benediction Postlude: Ron Dobscha Birthdays:
