CALL
TO WORSHIP (In Unison)
We gather in
Spirit to worship the Living God. When I
sing, Lord, let me hear the voices of my fellow worshippers. When I pray, Lord, gather our voices together
into one appeal to the throne of grace.
When I contemplate Your Word, open our minds that the truths may
enlighten us and fill us with joy.
Though the doors here on earth may be closed, the gates of heaven are
ever open.
AMEN
Hymn
Today: Jesus Loves Me (To be sung in unison)
Jesus loves me, this
I know, for the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Unison)
Dear Lord, through Jesus, You raised
Lazarus from the dead. May this miracle
convince me anew that, in the death of Jesus, my own forgiveness and promise to
life eternal is assured. In response,
help me to live a life more reflective of Your tender mercies. Help me to lay before the cross all my sins
and shortcomings that they may be cleansed, and I may be made new once again. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right
spirit within me I pray. Amen.
INVITATION
If you do not know Jesus as Your Lord and
Savior, but You would like to come to Him, or come to Him again, You can do wo
with this simple prayer:
“Dear Lord I need You, please come into my
life today. Amen”
