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

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mother’s Day Program CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 63) You, O God are our God. Earnestly we seek You. We thirst for You, our whole being belongs to You. Your love is better than life! We will praise You as long as we live. With our mouths we will glorify You. We will rejoice in God. All: Your hand, O God upholds us. *Hymn “Faith of Our Father’s (Mothers) 1 verse (see insert)
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
O most great, most just and gracious God; You are of purer eyes than to behold iniquity; but You have promised mercy through Jesus Christ to all who repent and believe in Him. Therefore we confess that we are sinful by nature and that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. We have dealt unjustly and uncharitably with our neighbors, We have not sought first Your kingdom and righteousness. We have not been content with our daily bread. You have revealed Your wonderful love to us in Christ and offered us pardon and salvation in Him; but we have turned away. We have run into temptation; and the sin that we should have hated, Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father! We confess You alone are our hope. Make us Your children and give us the Spirit of Your Son, our only Savior.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: Come now, today and worship the LORD. Worship Him with all of your Heart, all of your might, with all of your soul, worship Him. For His name alone is exalted. His splendor, His beauty is above the earth and the heavens. The LORD has raised up for His people, a mighty and victorious horn, Jesus the Savior. The people of God are close to His heart, He has kept His promises to us in Jesus. So once more and forever more, praise Him. INVOCATION:
*Hymn “Lord, I want to Be a Christian” #729
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Heavenly Father, like the people of Judah who read and reread Your law yet continuously turned away from it, so we have been. You have written Your laws upon our hearts and yet we harden our hearts to those things and suppress them for the ways of sin. We have been rebels and disobedient children. We commit ourselves to following You and are quick to turn from that commitment. But even today, as we come before You covered in sin, help us to see the One who never sins. Turn our sin weary hearts back to Jesus today and in His love for us, wash us clean.

Prelude: Carol Smith
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: What a friend we have in Jesus! ”A friend loves at all times” the Proverb teaches us. How wonderful it is to consider that our truest friend, Jesus loves us at all times. The Lord loves us and has made us to be true friends for one another. So we should love one another at all times. Let us worship today our greatest friend. The Lord Jesus who, out of this great love, laid down His life for ours. He alone is worthy to be worshiped, and we, His people will give Him the praise and worship due Him. INVOCATION:
* Hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” # 465
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Heavenly Father, You have shown such great love to us. You sympathize with us in our weakness, You bear our burdens with us, and You laid down Your life when we were perishing and didn’t love You in return. You’ve been a greater friend to us than we could ever deserve. And yet, we have not been loving friends to our neighbors. We withdraw from others, choose not to care, and ignore those neighbors even in some of their greatest moments of need. Forgive us for not responding to Your love for us and for not extending that love to others. Have mercy on us for these sins and the many that we haven’t mentioned. For we trust in our loving friend Jesus as the only means of our forgiveness.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Pam Stewart Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: Our God has lavished on us such great love. When we were content with being children of the world, our God adopted us and made us His own. We do not know the fullness of the glory that awaits those in Christ. But we are satisfied and anticipating that when we see our Savior’s face, we will be like Him! God finds us in our lowly state but does not leave us there. He purifies us, changes us, and redirects our lives to Him. Praise God for His saving work and sanctifying work in us. Let us gather today and worship Him. INVOCATION
*Hymn: “O Christ, The Great Foundation” # 361
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, even though we are people of the world, You call us to live in the reality of a new kingdom ushered in by Your Son. We are born, prone to the influence of the world around us but You tell us that we must be born again by Your Spirit. Every day we see and hear the Spirit leading us and transforming us and yet, we are still often resistant. Like a rebellious child, we resist the work of our Father. Forgive us Lord, for the ways we hold onto our old lives before Christ. Forgive us for ignoring and complaining about the methods you use to make us holy. From the mercy we receive, create in us a deeper sense of obedience and set our eyes on the promise of being made fully anew in the presence of Your Son. Amen. *Time of Silent Prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 Passing of the peace The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.
