 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
P: Lord please strengthen us in our time of weakness.
L: No matter what comes your way, stand strong in the Lord, He will get you through.
P: Lord God, give us the courage to boldly say “Even though all others become deserters, I will not.”

Hymn 564 Just A Closer Walk with Thee

Prayer of Confession
“Lord, I come before you with a solemn and contrite heart.  I have not always stood strong in the face of persecution. I have sometimes gone with the crowd even though it went against your principles.  Shame and guilt overwhelm me.  Please give me the freedom and wisdom to choose the narrow path that leads to righteousness.”

Sung Response
“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”

Assurance of Pardon
Jesus said, “It is finished.”  The work on the cross is complete.  We are now reconciled to God through grace which comes by faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.  We are a forgiven people who are free indeed.

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.”

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.

Hymn 530 I Will Call Upon the Lord

Benediction

Stewardship 2020

“Growing by Giving”




While a stewardship campaign may seem an odd place to be thinking about growing spiritually, it is really the perfect place! As the scripture reminds us, where our treasure is, there our hearts will be as well (Matthew 6:21), so if your treasure is in God's kingdom, so will your heart be -- growing more and more like Jesus' heart!

And together, our hearts and our treasures can make God's kingdom come alive!

For 2020, the Session has decided to go heart first, putting our treasure into some important areas of ministry, including our ministry with children, youth, and families, and our online ministry through Facebook Live and Youtube Live!

We want to be bold and brave and be kingdom people and have added to the budget so that new things can happen in our midst. We are excited and faithful and ready to see what God has in store for us as we grow by giving!

Would you like to join us as we pray and give?

This year’s Stewardship mailing is on its way! Please consider your part, and fill out a pledge/estimate of giving card for your weekly/monthly offering using Tithe.ly or giving in the offering plates!
