Galatians 3: 1-15

Prelude: Carol Smith  
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (from Psalm 130) 
Out of the depths, we cry to You, O LORD! 
   Let Your ears be attentive to our pleas 
If You, O LORD remembered our sins, who could stand? 
   But with You there is forgiveness! 
We wait for the LORD, our souls wait and in His word we hope 
  All you people, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there 
   is steadfast love. 
He has redeemed His people. Let us together worship our great 
God and redeemer. 
INVOCATION: 
 
*Hymn  “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us” # 187 
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Lord, when our flesh fails us, when we give in to the sin that desires 
to pull us away, when we fail to flee temptation, have mercy on us.   
All of us have been led by our flesh instead of Your Spirit. We have  
fallen short sometimes in great ways that are brought to light and 
sometimes in our hearts where only You can see. Our only hope is  
in a Redeemer who takes the cross in our place. Forgive us Lord, and 
remember the work of Your Son when we have sinned. Restore to us  
the peace that comes through forgiveness and reset our focus  
on following You. Amen
