Call to Worship

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.


Eph. 2:8-10


God is good

Confession and Pardon

-Invitation

-Unison Confession:


Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 


Waken our hearts, O Lord, our God; 

make them watchful to serve you and alert to your command.

You have created us full of trouble; you have made us strangers in this world.

Trouble us with the smallness of our concerns.

Trouble us with the greatness of your command.

Trouble us with our unholiness and our slowness to obey.

Trouble us with time running out and every lost hour.

Trouble us with our sins and the sins of all men.

Trouble us with the troubles of your church which are the work of men.

Trouble us, and let us watch continually for your judgment.

Trouble us, O Lord, and let us keep our faith in the midst of our trouble.

Let us go forth desiring the coming of your glory.

Let us go forward; for your glory shall be revealed.

We thank you that our work ends and your work begins.

Lord, we believe, help our unbelief.  Amen.


-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:


“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.


John 3:16-17


I declare to you who trust in Jesus, you are forgiven and free!

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.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
