CALL
TO WORSHIP (In Unison)
Though Jesus
has returned to heaven, we have the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, who is Jesus
with us forever. Praise the Lord that we
have never been left alone. May we
embrace the power that dwells within us, Emmanuel, God With Us. Let us worship the Living God.
AMEN
Hymn
Today: “Morning Has Broken”
Morning has
broken, like the first morning,
Blackbird has
spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the
singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them,
springing fresh from the Word.
CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Unison)
Dear Lord, Jesus said if we love Him, we will
keep His commandments. Yet how often we
fall short. We want to do what is right,
but we turn away to do our own thing.
Yet we dwell in the promise of forgiveness and we confess to You all our
sins and shortcomings, that we may be made right in You. Thank you that Jesus gave His life, and that
You gave it back, that through His resurrection, we will all be resurrected as
Your children. 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”
