Prelude

Time of Silence
“In this quiet moment, Jesus speak to me. Fill my heart with Thy love 
divine, Your power let me see.”


Call to Worship

L: The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone
P: The Lord is my strength and my might; He has become my salvation
L: Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord
P: O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures
            forever

Hymn (words on screen)

Silent Prayer of Confession

Sung Response & Assurance of Pardon
“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”

Glory to the Father
“Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

An Affirmation of Faith (unison)
This is the good news which we received, in which we stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen. 

Sharing of Joys and Concerns

Prayers of the People

The Lord’s Prayer
"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead
*us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

Sung Response
“We give Thee but Thine own, whate’er the gift may be. All that we have is Thine alone, a trust O Lord from Thee.”

The Peace
L    God sent the world his only Son. Since God loved us so much, 
we too should love one another.

P:   Let us love one another, since love comes from God.
L:   The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
P:   (to each other) The Peace of Christ be with you.


Benediction

Sung Response
May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever; Grant you peace, perfect peace, courage in every endeavor. Lift your eyes and see his face, and his love forever. May the Lord, risen Lord, bless and keep you forever.

CHURCH EVENTS THIS WEEK
Church Friends
·       Wanted “Church Friends” … Making a Difference! We are making a difference in the name of the Lord and here is an opportunity for those who want to make a difference but maybe can’t go on a mission trip, or run/walk a 5K or do construction work and the like.
·       We are starting a new mission program to meet the needs of folks who may be homebound for some reason or we haven’t seen in a while and need to know we are thinking of them.
·       If you can make a phone call, send a card or make a visit - this is for you! You don’t have to be a Deacon or a Stephen Minister to touch someone’s life. By just making contact with someone you can make sure they know they have not been forgotten. It would not require a regular commitment but periodic times of interaction.
·       If you would like to know more about making a difference this way, contact Candy Burnett.
