Prelude: Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 42 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Where can I go? When can I go and meet with God? I used to lead the procession of the multitude to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. Put your hope in God and do not be disturbed. I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; All your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord directs His Love, at night His song is with me—He is the God of my life. INVOCATION

Intro then 4 verses * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (unison) As the deer pants for the water, so my soul pants after You, O God. I need You every hour, Most Precious Lord. And yet I put myself before You. I share my needs with You, but I do not share my joys. I call to You for help and strength; yet I savor the successes to myself. Help me to acknowledge You at all times, O my God. Help me to not only call to You in my failures. I am sorry. I am a failed and fragile person. You know that right well. Thank You, O Blessed One, for always forgiving me. * Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *Passing the Peace L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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

(intro & 4 verses) *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Many are the ways I have failed You this week, O Lord. I have done things my way rather than consulting You.

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

Gathering Around the Word
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

Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 39 I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin, I will put a muzzle on my mouth in the presence of the wicked. Now, O Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in You, save me from all my transgressions and from fools. You rebuke and discipline men and women for their sin. Their wealth is consumed; each person is but a breath. Hear my prayer, O Lord! Listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. Look away from me, that I may pass the test. May I rejoice again before I depart and am no more. The span of my years is as nothing before You. Now, O Lord, what do I look for? All my hope is in You.” INVOCATION

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: His Name is wonderful. His Name is wonderful. His Name is wonderful: Jesus my Lord. O Lord, we sing songs such as this one and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”----but we do not act like it. We act like WE are the wonderful one. WE are the friend all should have. WE are selfish. Help us to know we need forgiveness. Help us to know that You must always come first in our lives. Help us to learn to have a forgiving spirit toward others. Thank You for being such a wonderful model of how to live. We are sorry we have sinned. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Commit your way to the Lord and trust in Him. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; Do not fret—it only leads to evil. Those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. The Lord laughs at the wicked and loves the just. INVOCATION
