Congregational Introit * Christ is Made the Sure Foundation Prayer of Adoration*
Give Praise to God
Hymn of Praise** I Sing the Mighty Power of God #84 Lighting of the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Lord Jesus, we hear your invitation to follow, but apart from your grace we cannot do what you ask. Instead of selfdenial we are prone to self-indulgence and self-promotion. Instead of a daily walk with you, our inconsistent steps are drawn to wandering paths. Rather than offering ourselves in risky service, we safeguard our comforts. Forgive our failure to follow you. Forgive us for confusing life-management with a life of faith. By the gift of your Spirit, empower us to live your life in this world in ways that we could never do if left to ourselves. We offer our lives to you yet again as we continue our confession in silence… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* Eternal Father, Strong to Save #521 (v. 4) Life of the Congregation **

Those who are able, please stand. Ushers will seat latecomers at this time.

Invitation and Benediction* Postlude
Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails, the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heav’n, Or of escaping hell; Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my Eternal King.
The beautiful flowers in the Sanctuary this morning are given to the glory of God and in Loving Memory of: Billy Gene Sanders by his wife, Gladys Sanders, and his children and grandchildren
