Heirs of The Promise Fulfilled, No Turning Back

Prelude: Ron Dobscha 
  
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 
 
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 63: 1-4) 
O God, You are my God: I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; 
 My flesh faints for You, as in a dry and weary land where there  
is no water. 
   So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary, beholding  
   Your power and glory. 
Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will  
praise You. 
   So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands  
   and call on Your name. 
 
INVOCATION: 
 
*Hymn  “Here in this Place” # 401 
 
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide,  
and too deep to undo.  Forgive what our lips tremble to name,  
what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for 
us a judgement that consumes us.  Set us free from a past that  
we cannot change; open us to a future in which we can be  
changed; And grant us grace to grow evermore in the likeness 
and image of Jesus Christ.  For it is His name we pray,  Amen
