*God Calls Us to Worship Psalm 118:19-24 Reverend Bill Myers
Pastor: Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. People: This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. Pastor: I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. People: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. Pastor: This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. All: This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

*We Invoke His Presence
God Exposes Our Need 1 John 1:8Reverend Russell St. John
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
We Confess Our Sin
Christ Provides for Our Need 1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

3“We shine the Spotlight On Christ”
God Reveals The Helper, the Holy Spirit! John 14:15-17; 25-26; John 15:26-27 Pastor: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”People: “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”Pastor: “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. People: And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.”

*We Go, Tell of His Goodness!
*We Invoke His Help Ephesians 6:17-18Les Prouty, Elder
Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.

God Calls Us to Stewardship 1 Corinthians 16:1-2aNow concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper.
We Give Our Tithes and Offerings
We Prepare for God’s Word Psalm 24 (The King of Glory) Sanctuary Choir; Nathanael Zanders, congas
The King of glory reigns over all the world. His mighty hand sustains the heavens and the earth. Who may come to Him and seek His holy face?
He calls the pure in heart all whose hands are clean. And those who love His name above all other things.Humbly I will bow and Jesus’ name confess.
He reigns, He reigns Jesus the Lord.He reigns, He reigns forevermore.
Swing wide you ancient gates let the King come in.His glory never fades our hearts delight in Him.Ev’ry knee will bow. Ev’ry tongue confess.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty.He bore a cross of shame. Sing Hosanna!Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty.He rose up from the grave. Sing hosanna!
