WE WELCOME the Leonel & Sybel Pech family, including Jon, Sam & David. The Pechs are developing a Hispanic ministry outreach in Fort Wayne, with assistance from the sale of the Earlham Heights building.

Please join me in praising the Lord using the Response printed in your bulletin: (From Psalm 9)
Leader: "The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
People: A stronghold in times of trouble.
Leader: Those who know your name put their trust in you,
People: For you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Leader: Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion.
People: Declare his deeds among the peoples."

(After reciting the Response, indicate with your hands for the congregation to stand for the first hymn. DO NOT announce the hymn)

*SONG OF PRAISE #477 (Blue Hymnal)

"Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim"

(Lector only) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. In humility and faith let us confess our sin to God, using the prayer printed in your bulletin.

**COMING CLEAN BEFORE OUR CREATOR

Lord God:
Forgive us for blaming others for our failures,
and resenting the success of neighbors.
Forgive us for being impressed with our own

accomplishments,
and forgetful of all You have done for us.
Forgive us for times of discouragement,
when we focus on our challenges,
and forget Your power and purposes!
Forgive, accept and change us, we pray.
Amen

In the name of Jesus Christ we are forgiven."
