*CALL TO WORSHIP– Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before 

his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; 

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, 

and into his courts with praise:

be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; 

and his truth endureth to all generations.

*PRAYER OF THE DAY

PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                         

Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed.  We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.  In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name…

Silent Prayers of Confession

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS - from Romans 6: 4b,11

Jesus died and rose again so that we might experience “newness of life so we can consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Jesus Christ.” All you who repent of your sin and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation, rejoice and be glad and give glory to the Lord who has taken away all of your sins in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Thanks be to God!
