PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Lord of Life and Mercy, we confess before You and one another that we have not Your light in us enough to be good alone, we quickly lose our way in both excess and negligence, we have not eyes of our heart to see others as You do, we are quick to excuse ourselves and brood over the sins of others, we do not think of the harm and suffering we have caused others, and we are not able to keep ourselves in true peace of mind because of our sins. Have mercy on us, Christ, and bring us to know You and have everlasting life.

*Hymn: “Morning Has Broken” # 664
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Merciful and just God, I open my heart to You as a means to make me hate the sins confessed. I confess to the indulgence in my flesh, to times of not being truthful, to uncharitable habits. I confess to taking the wrong path at times, to allowing evil thoughts to stay in my mind. I confess to lack of love for the neighbor, to taking a wrong path, to going my own way. God, let me feel Your h.`and guiding my life, freeing me from the grip of bad habits, to make me pure in heart, and let Christ be formed in me through faith and goodness all the days of my life. I ask for all of this in Your Holy Name. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 Passing of the Peace Prayer of Illumination Scripture: Genesis 19: 14-16, 23-26 Scripture: 1 Peter 1: 3-9, 13-16 Sermon: “What Now?” *Hymn: “Lead On, O King Eternal” # 269 Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory “This is my story-this is my song” *Doxology Prayer of dedication Joys and Concerns Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer Hymn: “God Be with You Till we Meet Again” # 542 Benediction Postlude; Toni Sears “May the Peoples Praise You”
ANNOUNCEMENTS;
CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm143) LORD, in Your faithfulness and righteousness come to our relief. Do not bring us into judgement. Remember Your righteousness and not our unrighteousness. When our spirit grows faint and our hearts are dismayed Help us to meditate on Your works and consider what Your hands have done. Show us the way we should go. We trust our lives to You. Teach us to do Your will. All: May Your good Spirit lead us on level ground.
*Hymn “”Love Divine, All Love Excelling (verses 1&2) # 366
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Loving God, we confess that we have stifled Your Spirit within us. You have sent us the Spirit of love, but we have preferred to hate those who oppose us. You have sent us the Spirit of joy, but we have taken Your gifts for granted and been ungrateful. You have sent us the Spirit of peace, but we have allowed our selfishness to cause division and disharmony. You have sent us the Spirit of patience, but we have been worried and anxious when we have not seen immediate results from our efforts, or evidence of Your love. You have sent us the Spirit of kindness, but we have been indifferent to other people’s needs. You have sent us the Spirit of goodness, but through thoughtlessness, as well as our deliberate wrongdoing, we have sinned. You have sent us the Spirit of faithfulness, but we have been fickle in our resolve, unreliable disciples of Jesus. You have sent us the Spirit of gentleness, but we have been insensitive to the feelings of others. You have sent us the Spirit of self-control, but we have lived recklessly, without disciplining ourselves. Forgive us, merciful God. Teach us how much we need the power of Your Spirit in our lives; and breathe new life into us; for Your glory and the sake of the Gospel’s proclamation. Amen. *Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer for Illumination Scripture reading: John 14: 8-17, 25-27 Sermon text: Genesis 11: 1-9 *Hymn “Spirit of The Living God”7 # 288 *Apostles Creed (on back of Joys & Concerns) Presentation of our titles and offering Offertory - Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and celebrations Prayers of the people/ The Lord’s Prayer INVITATION TO THE LORD’S TABLE “Let us break Bread Together” Communion “Alleluia” * INVOCATION “A Hymn of Joy We Sing” (insert) BENEDICTION

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.
