GATHERING FOR WORSHIP

"Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires

of the sinful nature." Galatians 5:16

ANNOUNCEMENTS

PREPARING OUR HEARTS AND MINDS FOR WORSHIP:

"Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart," Frederick C. Atkinson

&&&&

Please join me in praising the Lord using the Response printed in your bulletins (from Psalm 77):

Leader: I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord.

People: I will remember Your wonders of old.

Leader: I will meditate on all Your work,

People: And muse on Your mighty deeds!

Let us continue our praise with #293 found in your Blue Hymnal, "This Is My Father's World"

(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 bulletins.

*COMING CLEAN BEFORE OUR CREATOR:

Lord God:

Forgive us for times we think You have forgotten us,

When we are the ones who have forgotten…

How You have nurtured and guided us in the past,

How You place challenges before us, not to defeat us,

But that we would see our need of Your help,

And that of others,

And in our humble reaching out,

Might find life's richest blessings, and grow! Amen.

RECEIVING FORGIVENESS:

(Lector only)

Hear the Good News! In Christ we have not only the hope of life everlasting. We have His living presence when we confess our need for Him. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him when in need!

We stand now as forgiven people. Please turn and greet our neighbors with "The peace of Christ."

Please remain standing as we affirm our faith, saying together the traditional version of the Apostles' Creed on page 14 in the blue hymnal.
