ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 16)
Oh God in You we take our refuge! You are our safety, in Your
embrace we find all our needs met and our hopes are born.  
   You are our Lord, apart from You we have no good things!
Those who chase after other gods, who look to anything other than
You have not known the peace that our God brings.
   We could have all the riches in the world and still it is You
   that is our portion and our cup!
You make known to us the path of life.  You fill us with joy in Your
presence. Praise God today for His wonderful deeds!
  
INVOCATION

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Heavenly Father, You know us so well. In fact, You know the very
depth of our hearts, even better than we know ourselves.  You
perceive even those times when we might act in a posture of
judgement and condemnation.  Forgive us when we fail to remember
that all human beings are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Help
us to be gracious and longsuffering with our friends, family and even
our enemies.  You alone have washed away our sins through the
blood of Jesus Christ.  Remind us that You extend to all people an
offer of merciful righteousness and grace.  May we be grateful for
Your love.  Amen
