First Presbyterian Church
Remote and Mail Order of Worship
March 22, 2020
CALL
TO WORSHIP (In Unison)
Though I cannot
be gathered with my congregation in body, I gather with my congregation in
spirit. May the worship that we offer
resound in heaven as we lift our voices to glorify our God. May the priesthood of all believers, most
especially those who take this time in their own place, in their own abode in
this time under the threat of the Corvis-19 virus, ring out in praise to God
Most High.
AMEN
Hymn
Today: Kum Ba Yah (it means “Come By Here”: To be sung in unison)
Kum ba yah, my Lord,
kum ba yah!
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
O Lord, kum ba yah!
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
O Lord, kum ba yah!
CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Unison)
I know that I am a sinner Lord. But I know also that Jesus died to save my
soul. I know I fall short of Your grace
on a daily basis. But I know that Jesus
loves me for who I am and I am forever accepted by the grace of His mercy when
He took away my sins. So help me to
confess all that I have done that is unworthy of You, dear Lord. May Your forgiving power cleanse me and
overcome everything that separates me from worshipping You fully.
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”
