PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (unison)
O God, we confess that we have not been eager to seek Your face or to know Your truth beyond human thought, that we have not counted Your grace in our lives each day, that we are often content with dependence on ourselves, and that we keep ourselves occupied with many other things before we remember Your power and ready help to all who call on Your name with a pure heart. Make us thirsty for You, God, both now and in the larger life beyond, and forgive us for our sins through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude Choir ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 40 I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit; He lifted me out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock, And gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth; He gave me a hymn of praise to our God. Blessed is the one who makes the Lord his trust. Here I am! I desire to do Your will, O my God. Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You have done. The things You have done for us are too many to declare. INVOCATION
*HYMN “When Morning Gilds the Skies” # 667
(intro & 4 verses) *PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Many are the ways I have failed You this week, O Lord. I have done things my way rather than consulting You. I have too often ignored others when I should be looking to their needs. I have not gone the extra mile for anyone but myself. Forgive me. Restore me. Allow me to desire Your presence above all. Help me to reflect Your Love to my family. Assist me in sharing Your forgiveness and hope with all whom I touch and meet. Thank You for constantly forgiving me. *Time of silent prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri *The peace of the Lord Jesus be with you. And also with you *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of illumination Scripture reading James 1: 19 – 27 Mary Esselstyn Matthew 14: 22 - 35 SERMON: “Asking Directions in Western PA” HYMN “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” # 8 (intro & 4 verses) *Apostles Creed Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers for the people The Lord’s Prayer * HYMN “Lead On, O King Eternal!’ # 269 (intro & 3 verses) *Benediction Postlude Choir

Hymn: Love Devine, All Loves Excelling
Call to Worship The grace of God was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. It has now been revealed through God's Son Jesus Christ. He has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. It is this grace and faith we proclaim and hold on to. It is this God and Savior that we worship. Let us praise and adore our living God that sent his Son Jesus to share a faith with us and share with others. |
