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!
