Prelude:          Ron Dobscha
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!
Blessing and honor and glory and power be to the One     
seated on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever!
You alone are holy!  All the earth will come and worship before You, for Your righteous deeds have been revealed for all to see. He is Risen!  Worship our risen King!
 
INVOCATION

*Hymn:  Jesus Christ is Risen Today”                             # 232
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Almighty Father, You are the source of every good and perfect gift.  We praise Your name for the greatest and most perfect gift:
Your son, our Lord Jesus Christ.  But in lifting Him up, we humble ourselves before You.  We confess to You, not only our sins of omission in failing to do what we know is right, but also our sins of commission in doing what You forbid.  O Lord, we are weak and feeble, slow to confess our sins and prone to wander from the path of righteousness, do not deal with us as our sins deserve but wash us clean in the blood of the Lamb and empower us by Your Spirit to live to honor and serve our Savior King.  We praise You that He was born like us that we might become like Him.  In Jesus Name we pray.  AMEN.
