Welcome & Announcements
*Call to Worship (Bruce Powers)
Put aside the distractions of this world’s many gods. Stand in awe before God’s love. Prepare to worship in sincerity and faithfulness. The Lord Jesus and His God, we will serve, and His voice we will trust and obey, that generations to come may know their God. Stand up and celebrate the good news this day so that others may set their hope in the living God. We will not hide our thanks and praise but tell of the glorious deeds of the Lord and all the wonders God has done for us.
*Hymn: “Amazing Grace,” #378
*Prayer (Moira Laidlaw, posted on Liturgies Online)
We worship You, O God, as the one in whom we have placed our
hope. We share the desire of Your people of old to tell of the blessings You
have affected in our lives. When we think about the greatest blessing of
all—the gift of Yourself in human flesh—Jesus Christ—we joyfully acknowledge
that our hope in You is not misplaced. We choose to serve You because You
chose to touch our lives so graciously in Christ. May our faithful witness
and the service of our lives reveal the depth of our love and gratitude as we
worship You, O God, and as we praise
and adore You in Jesus’ name and in the
power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
