It is our expressed hope that in this time we might offer worship which
celebrates Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in a format which is both
Biblically-based and contextually relevant. We invite you to join us in
God-directed, life-giving praise and worship of our God!
THE GUIDE FOR TODAY: 5B4 Five minutes before worship is when we start to center ourselves for
worship. Consider reading the meditative reflection passage on the next
panel. We encourage all those attending to gather for worship as we set
the frame of our vision and welcome all in song.
The words to the songs are on the screens.

PRAYER OF INVOCATION CALL TO WORSHIP (Based on Isaiah 12:1-6)
Leader: Go to your hungry enemies, waiting to be fed and your hurting neighbors who need forgiveness. Ministers: Our worship is not complete until we have done our all for reconciliation. Leader: Let your church participate with you in the building of better relationships. Ministers: We seek to live in peace with all people, and we need the church to help us. Leader: Be affectionately devoted to one another; outdo one another in showing honor. Ministers: We need help to develop genuine love in which we really see and hear others. Leader: Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Ministers: We renew our allegiance to the commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
*GATHERING HYMN (See Screens) “Praise to the Lord, The Almighty”
CALL TO CONFESSION PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)
Father, you know that we have sinned. You know that we have hurt each other, been unkind and thought only of ourselves. You have given us such grace and mercy; help us to extend the same to our brothers and sisters. Free us from holding grudges, from gossip and from passing judgment. Let us never pour shame upon another, but instead love. Help us walk with each other towards forgiveness and restoration. Thank you for the beauty you will bring to our relationships because we have sought your healing. We are yours,
Loving Father. (We now pause to offer our silent confessions.)
