CALL TO WORSHIP (Responsively) (Psalm 91)
Come to the One who knows our every need.
God, do you really know everything?
Come to the One who hears our every wish.
God, are you really listening?
Come to the One who sees all.
God, are you really watching over us?
Come to the One who loves us more than we can ever know.
God, we come to worship the one who knows, hears, and
sees our every need and still loves us.

HYMN Great
Is Thy Faithfulness – Blue Hymnal 276
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)
Loving God,
You have formed a covenant with us,
committing Yourself to us
and inviting us to walk with You.
Yet we have resisted,
preferring to go in different ways,
seeking other companions,
thinking we know best.
Have mercy on our waywardness,
stir us to accept what You have to offer,
gift us with faith so that we can hold the hand
You have extended
to us in Jesus Christ. Amen.
DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS
Pastor: When God is with us, whom shall we fear? The God
of salvation will never forsake you. God’s patience knows no
limits. Wait for the Lord. Be strong and take heart.

INVITATION to DISCIPLESHIP
* HYMN
Be Thou My Vision - Blue Hymnal 339
* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – 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.
