OPENING MUSIC “I Love to Tell the Story” Hymn 156

Call to Worship: Romans 8:1-3
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,
God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin
offering.

Congregational Prayer:
Holy Spirit, You are the great gift that was promised. You are always with us and we are never alone. Thank You for coming to us. Thank You for guiding us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
