Prelude: Ron Dobscha  
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (from Psalm 140) 
We praise You, sovereign LORD! You shield us in times of trouble. 
   The LORD secures justice for the poor 
The LORD upholds the cause of the needy 
   The righteous will praise Your name 
Surely they will live in Your presence 
   We come now to worship You, O LORD.  You have rescued 
   and upheld Your people! 
 
INVOCATION: 
 
*Hymn  “There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood” (See Insert) 
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Lord, when our lives are filled with trouble and the circumstances 
of this life, we often forget all that You have done for us and in us. 
Instead of turning to You in thankfulness and for help, we often hide 
ourselves from You.  We doubt Your power and control over creation 
and we try to go at this life on our own.  We don’t love You or love 
our neighbors as we should. We reject Your commands as the rule  
of our lives.  Forgive us for the many ways we have sinned and  
bring those sins to light so that we may turn to You again.  Have  
mercy on us and remember our sins no more. Amen
