INTROIT

CALL TO WORSHIP

How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!

The Lord counts the stars and calls them all by name.

God sends his orders to the world—how swiftly his word flies!

The Lord supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust.

God pays no mind to the strength of weapons or in human might.

The Lord’s delight is in those who revere him, those who put their hope in His unfailing love.

Come, let us worship the Lord!

*HYMN 634 To God Be the Glory TO GOD BE THE GLORY

CONFESSION

Eternal God, you have called your church to be a community for all people, an ark of

salvation to the ends of the earth. Despite this identity though, we are content to self-

segregate to our comfort zones. We are reluctant to reach out to people who are different

than us. Instead of a diverse, messy, and faithful church, we would rather have a safe group

that looks like us, believes like us, and votes like us. Forgive us, Lord. Renew in our hearts a

vision for reaching out to and including those unlike ourselves so that we might be more

faithful to the gospel itself. We pray these things in Jesus’ name.

INVITATION

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

The Lord be with you,

And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Blessed are You, O God, and blessed is Jesus Christ, Your only Son, whom You sent out of love

for the world to be our Savior. By the Holy Spirit’s power, He was born of us, shared our joys and

sorrows, and offered His life in perfect obedience and trust. By His death, Christ delivered us

from our sins. By His resurrection, He grants us new and abundant life. By His love, He sanctifies

the church to be His holy bride and now, prepares the wedding banquet.

Dying, You destroyed death. Rising, You restored life. Lord Jesus, come in glory. When we eat

this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim Your death. Lord Jesus, come in glory.

Together we pray…

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, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the

kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
