                                                   CALL TO WORSHIP (In Unison)                         
Praise the Lord that we have received the gift of eternal life.  What wonder, that to know eternal life is to know the One True God.  Let us glorify our Lord Jesus who gave us this gift.  Thank you Jesus for completing the work You were sent among us to perform.  Let us worship the Living God.
 AMEN

Hymn Today: “We All Believe in One True God”
1 We all believe in one true God,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Ever-present help in need,
Praised by all the heavenly host,
By whose mighty power alone
All is made and wrought and done.

 CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Unison)
 Dear Lord, to know eternal life is to know You as the One True God.  To know eternal life is to know Jesus Christ, whom You sent to us.  We come to You to know You better in the confession of all our sins and shortcomings, so that by Your forgiveness, we are renewed once more.  Lead us to lay our whole lives in Your hands that You may lead us ever onward through a good and better life here, and into eternal life forever.  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”

 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.  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

OUR BENEDICTION AND DEPARTURE (In Unison)
May the Lord bless us and keep us.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon us and be gracious to us.
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us and give us peace.
