Call to Worship

CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

P:  Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God, whose steadfast love is everlasting, whose faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
C:   Amen
 
P:  Trusting in the mercy of God, let us confess our sin.
 
Silence is kept for reflection.
P:  Reconciling God,
C:  We confess that we do not trust your abundance
and we deny your presence in our lives.
We place our hope in ourselves
and rely on our own efforts.
We fail to believe that you provide enough for all.
We abuse your good creation for our own benefit.
We fear difference and do not welcome others as you have welcomed us.
We sin in thought, word, and deed.
By your grace, forgive us;
through  your love, renew us;
and in your Spirit, lead us;
so that we may live and serve you in newness of life.  Amen.
​P: Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of divine mercy we have peace with God through Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained grace upon grace.
Our sins are forgiven.
Let us live now in hope.
For hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.

The Offering

At this time, we encourage families to set up PAR offering if you have not done so already.
​ Thank you for your continued support of our church.
Jesus, priceless treasure, 
source of purest pleasure, 
friend and brother true: 
oh how long in anguish, 
shall my spirit languish
yearning, Lord, for you. 

Oh Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, 
to follow your command, 
I will never leave you! 
Seek no love besides you 
Jesus priceless treasure of my heart!

In your arms I'm resting
All my foes are fleeing
None can touch me here
Though the Earth be shaking
Every heart be quaking
Jesus calms my fears

When lightnings flash
And thunders crash
I am safely in your grasp
Though my sin assails me
Jesus will not fail me
Jesus priceless treasure of my heart
Oh Jesus, my treasure
Take my heart and make it yours
Oh Jesus, my precious Lord
I love you, Lord

Banish fear and sadness
 For the Lord of gladness
Jesus enters in
Those who love the Father
Though the storms may gather
Still have peace within

When grief and pain 
Pour down like rain
Your loving arms remain
Count this world as nothing
Since the one I'm gaining
Jesus priceless treasure of my heart

Count this world as nothing
Since the one I'm gaining
Jesus priceless treasure of my heart
​Of my heart

OFFERTORY Prayer

God of goodness and growth, all creation is yours, and your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. Water and word, wine and bread: these are signs of your abundant grace. Nourish us through these gifts, that we might proclaim your steadfast love in our communities and in the world, through Jesus Christ, our strength and our song.
Amen.

PRAYERS & Blessing

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
