Colossians 1: 15 - 23

Next Sunday, we will be worshipping at the Washington County Fair at 11 am.

Prelude:            Ron Dobscha
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Jesus is before all things.  He holds all things together.
All that we see and that we cannot see was made and made for our Lord Jesus.
By the blood of his cross, all things are reconciled.
     Even when we were once alienated and hostile to Him, we find
     reconciliation in His body.
Jesus will present us holy and blameless, above reproach before God.   If we remain in faith, we will be welcomed into the glory that is His.  Let us worship today the one who does this incredible work out of His great love for His people.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Father, we have failed to love You as we should.  We have failed to love others as we love ourselves. We have chosen wrong when we know what is right.  We have rejected Your rule and submitted ourselves to lesser kingdoms.  Restore us O Lord and teach us Your way.
