WELCOME AND CONCERNS OF THE CONGREGATION
PRELUDE “Jesus, Priceless Treasure” A.W. Leupold
*CALL TO WORSHIP – from Psalm 66
Shout out to God, all the earth!
Break into joyful songs to the one true God!
Sing of the glory due His name,
and offer the most magnificent praises!
All Your works are wonderful!
The entire earth bows down to worship You,
singing songs of praise and glory to Your name.
Come, let us bless God together!
We will praise the One who gives us life
and keeps us safe;
who watches over us,
and keeps our feet from stumbling.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess our sinfulness, our shortcomings and our offenses against you. You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from your ways, in wasting your gifts, in forgetting your love. Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we are ashamed and sorry for all we have done to displease you. Forgive our sins, and help us to live in your light, and walk in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior…
Silent Prayers of Confession
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. -- 1 Timothy 1:15
Hear then Christ’s word of grace to us: Our sins are forgiven.
Thanks be to God.
