CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 145:1–3


PRAYER OF INVOCATION

"Great are you, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is your power, and your wisdom is infinite. You would we praise without ceasing. You call us to delight in Your praise, for You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts find not rest until we rest in You; to whom with the Father and the Holy Spirit all glory, praise, and honor be ascribed, both now and forevermore. Amen."

St. Augustine


SONG OF PRAISE

“Come, Christians, Join to Sing”

CONFESSION OF SIN

Lord, you have been so gracious to us. You have kept your promises to us, and you have been faithful. But we have forgotten your grace and your faithfulness. The idols that we enjoy—self-righteousness, safety, prosperity—entice us and ensnare us. We think that we are our own god and king, when, in reality, you are. We cry out for forgiveness to you, merciful Father! Only through Jesus’ death in our place do we have your forgiveness. Continue to be faithful to your promise to love us, to walk with us, and to teach us. Strengthen us this week so that we may love, trust, and obey you. Amen.

Adapted from Judges 2

SONG OF WORSHIP

“Lord, I Need You”

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION

Take time individually to confess your sins before the Lord. Then as a family/individually pray for the church, for our leaders, for the world, for the abating of the virus, and other needs you know of. You can always look at the prayer requests in the weekly email.


OFFERING TO THE LORD

One of the ways believers worship when physically gathered is through giving. Currently we can’t do that. Many do however give online. If you would like to, you can do so here. Or you may mail a check to our mailing address. (Note: if you are out of work and find yourself in need - please contact our deacons).

As a song during this time: “Here’s My Heart”

SCRIPTURE READING

Genesis 29:31–30:24

*Note: Some brief content of the message refers to the perversion of the marital union and using sex to get what one wants. Please be aware as you may need to address this topic with children.
