ANNOUNCEMENTS Jeff Davis CALL TO WORSHIP Shaun Hartsell

∆ OPENING HYMN The Church’s One Foundation #401

RECONNECTING TO GOD Ann Mathison All knowing God, mighty and gracious, You created us for relationship and to be the objects of Your Lavish love. All Creation stands in awe of You, trusting You, holding the hand of Jesus; So what’s wrong with us? You pursue and we run; You knock on the door of our hearts and we pretend we don’t hear. You shower us with provision, protect us, comfort us, and still we run. Jesus, forgive us and by the power of the Holy Spirit, enlarge our faith to trust in You completely. In Jesus’ precious name we pray. Amen

∆ WORSHIP THROUGH PRAISE ________________ Praise Team Majestic & Rescue

Amen.
