One:

And I pray that you being rooted and established in love may have power together, with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Lord, we echo the words of Paul's prayer as we worship you today. Help us all to know your love.

Let us worship God!

† PRAYER OF CONFESSION

The Rev. Heather M. Sigler Dear Lord, we come before you today as your children. We praise you as the God of all creation and the giver of life. You have made us, saved us, and called us to be your people and serve in your Kingdom work. We confess that we too often have forgotten that we belong to you. We try to live our lives as if we were actually in charge of them and forget or ignore you. Too often, we are not good witnesses to your love, and we don't always do our part to engage with the world.

Please forgive us. Change our hearts so that we would live for you first. Give us the courage and strength to live our faith and serve your world.

ANTHEM Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Joseph Martin

Soprano Delaney Reed and Pianist Maddie Felix Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past, safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on Thee. Leave, O leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing, with the shadow of Thy wing. Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee. Spring Thou up within my heart, rise, rise, rise to all eternity! Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly. Jesus, lover of my soul. Jesus, lover of my soul, lover of my soul.

PSALM 14 SERMON

The Rev. Shoeman "The Fullness of God"

† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

The Rev. Margaret Shoeman

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.
