*CALL TO WORSHIP

Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.” – Luke 11:9
Lord, as we search now, let us find you.
As we knock, open the door to us.
Let us know you, that we may praise you;
and love you, that we may serve you.

*PRAYER OF THE DAY

*HYMN 667              When Morning Gilds the Skies  

PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                         

O God, 

we confess the blindness that is not even aware of sinning; 

the pride that dares not admit that it is wrong; 

the selfishness that can see nothing but its own will; 

the righteousness that knows no fault; 

the callousness that has ceased to care; 

the defiance that does not regret its own sins; 

the evasion that always tries to make excuses; 

the coldness of heart that is too hardened to repent. 

God, we are sinners; be merciful to us… 

Silent Prayers of Confession

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS 

When we were dead in our trespasses, God made us alive by forgiving all our trespasses - erasing the record that stood against us...by nailing it to the cross. (Colossians 2:13,14) The good news therefore is this: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
Thanks be to God!
