ANNOUNCEMENTS:
VBS CELEBRATION
 
CALL TO WORSHIP:
Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose
sin is covered.
   Happy are those to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity,
   and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayers to You, O God.
   You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble;
   You surround me with glad cries of deliverance.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice; shout for joy!
   Let us worship the LORD our God!

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
 O Lord, we have sinned, and we need Your forgiveness.  Our desires

 will never satisfy, and we love that which leads us away from You.
Forgive us, Lord, for we come to You with broken and contrite

You, that we may glorify You and enjoy You forever. In Jesus’ Name
We pray. AMEN
