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. Let us worship the Living
God.
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)
Father in heaven, as Jesus walked with the
disciples to Emmaus, may he walk with us today.
May He remind us that by his death, our sins are forgiven, and by His
resurrection, we are forgiven so that we may freely and completely confess to
You all that we have done and left undone that sin against You or our
neighbor. Fill us always with the power
of Easter. Amen.
INVITATION

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”
