*HYMN “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” #452
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
The third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. AMEN.

PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES
“They’ll Know We are Christians by our Love”
OPENING MUSIC “You Are My All in All”
Call to Worship:
Let us set aside our worry and fear, our busyness and competing agendas to respond to Christ's call.
Christ offers us the opportunity to walk with him, to come to know his heart more deeply day by day.
Nothing is more precious than opening our hearts to God who fills us with love. Christ grants us the privilege of working alongside him in our Father's business. There is no higher call and no greater joy than making a difference in the kingdom of God. Come, let us worship the One who calls us to follow! We worship in joy, in gratitude, in praise: Jesus Christ is Lord of all!
CONGREGATIONAL HYMN “Shine Jesus, Shine”
Congregational Prayer of Confession:
It is said that confession is good for the soul, but there are times, O Lord, when we just don’t want to confess, we don’t want to own up to the many ways in which we have failed to be your faithful disciples. We have turned our backs on those in need. We have sought after power and riches, believing that these things bring true happiness. But you know us far too well. You know what is within our hearts and our spirits. You seek the
very best for us that we might grow to be fruitful plants in your garden. Be with us. Forgive us when we have failed to love and treat others with respect and compassion. Turn our hearts back toward you, who always reaches out to us offering healing and love. These things we ask in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
Words of Assurance:
Great news has come to us, dear friends. God, who is faithful and just, who cherishes us as we are, seeks restoration and healing for those broken places in our lives, forgives and loves us unconditionally. Receive that good news!

“What a Mighty God We Serve”
OPENING MUSIC “The Family of God” #393
Call to Worship:
For God alone my soul waits in silence;
My hope is from God.
God alone is our rock and salvation;
We shall not be shaken.
Trust in God at all times, O people;
God is a refuge for us.
Congregational Prayer of Confession:
Our God, forgive us for failing to understand and accept the great demands placed
upon us by Your love. We enlist in Your causes, but find ourselves losing interest. We promise to be courageous, but find ourselves afraid. We want to be sensitive, but find ourselves hard and callous. Forgive us; take our limitations and turn them into possibilities for service. Have mercy on us and grant us Your peace. AMEN.

OPENING MUSIC “Shout to the Lord”
“Amazing Grace” #378
Call to Worship:
Why are we here today?
We are here to worship God together in song and prayer!
Why are we here today?
We are here to make disciples in Jesus’ name.
Why are we here today?
We are here to change lives under the direction of the Holy Spirit!
May the Lord make us successful in all of our endeavors!
Congregational Prayer:
God, you know that we have sinned. You know that we have hurt each other, been unkind and thought only of ourselves. You have given us such grace and mercy; help us to extend the same to our brothers and sisters.
Free us from holding grudges, from gossip and from passing judgment. Let us never pour shame upon another, but instead love and peace. Help us walk with each other toward forgiveness and restoration. Thank you for the beauty you will bring to our relationships because we have sought your healing. We are yours, gracious God.
AMEN.
