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.
