LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD Pastoral Prayer & 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 debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Lighting the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Living God, you hold us and all things together by your words. Nothing is hidden from you, nor is your hand too short that it cannot save. We admit that we struggle to become like children, as you require. We have learned to turn away from the profound needs around us. We often leave important matters unattended. We struggle to extend mercy even though much has been given to us. But we also know that with you there is forgiveness; therefore, you are feared. May we hear again the richness of your grace to us as you hear our silent prayers of confession… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* When I Survey the Wondrous Cross #198 (v. 4) Life of the Congregation Invitation to Prayer
SPOILER ALERT Jonah 3 (Pew Bible 1438) Joe Skillen
GO IN GOD’S NAME Hymn of Response* And Can It Be Invitation and Benediction* Postlude Memphis Stomp Dave Grusin | Arr. Andy Bayles
Offering Our Gifts When I Survey the Wondrous Cross arr. Jay Rouse When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544
The beautiful flowers in the Sanctuary this morning are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of: Kevin Brian Rudder by his parents, Sue & Paul Rudder, and family
