Hymn 104 O Worship the King

Silent Prayer of Confession

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

Assurance of Pardon

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.”

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!



THANKSGIVING BASKETS

PLEASE SIGN THE SIGN OUT SHEET, also located in the rear of the sanctuary with your NAME, PHONE  NUMBER, AND THE FAMILY NUMBER that is written on the shopping list or Turkey Cutout and then CHECK THE APPROPRIATE COLUMN INDICATING WHAT YOU ARE DONATING.
If you have any questions please contact Sue Petak, Jeff Grebeldinger, or any Deacon. Thank you for your support of this project, which makes the Thanksgiving Holiday much nicer for many in our Community.
