† PRAYER OF THE DAY † PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Rev. Drumheller Merciful God, you have called us to come and follow you, that we might bear witness to the incredible. We confess that we remain preoccupied with ourselves, separated from one another. We cling to destructive habits, hold grudges, and show reluctance to welcome one another. We allow the past to hold us captive. In your loving-kindness, have mercy upon us, and free us from sin. In your calling, help us to see your power at work in our lives and in the world, that we might renew our passion for discipleship.

SERMON

† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

“Come and See”

Rev. Drumheller

The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

† THE PEACE One:

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Many: And also with you.
