WELCOME
Welcome! We are glad that you have come to learn of God and God’s Word. May every blessing be yours as we gather before our heavenly Father.
*OPENING HYMN
“All Creatures of Our God and King” 43 [R]
*CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 100)
Leader: Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
People: Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.
Leader: Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us and we are His;
People: we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Leader: Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His Name.
People: For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
*PRAISE HYMN
“Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above” 5 [R]
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (1 Timothy 1:15, 17)
People: Merciful God, You made us in Your image, with a mind to know You, a heart to love You, and a will to serve You. But our knowledge is imperfect, our love inconstant, our obedience incomplete. Day by day, we fail to grow into Your likeness. In your tender love, forgive us through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: Here are words you may trust, words that merit full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. To all who confess their sins and resolve to lead a new life, He says, “Your sins are forgiven.” He also says, “Follow Me.” Now to the one who rules all worlds, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.
