PREP FOR WORSHIP Thy Word by Grant and Smith
CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.
People: I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make Your faithfulness known through all generations.
Leader: All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You, they sing the praises of Your name.

How Great Thou Art
Goodness of God

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (spoken in unison)
Merciful God, the gift of Jesus’ life in us is visible in the way we witness to the fruitfulness of that gift. We know that the fruit of the Spirit consists of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Yet, so often we put conditions on our love— and joy and peace are difficult to discern when our words and actions deny their presence.
Response: *Everyone sings the first two lines of:
Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
In this aggressive world, it’s easy to believe one can’t get anywhere by exercising a spirit of gentleness or even self-control.
*Sing: Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
Gracious and merciful God, grant us your forgiveness and your love so that we may truly care for one another.
Refresh and renew us with the Holy Spirit so that we are fruitful and vital disciples of Jesus Christ. Amen.

COMMUNION LITURGY
Leader: Is it fitting and right that we come to this table?
People: Yes, it is fitting and right because Jesus came not for the strong, but for the weak; not for the righteous, but for sinners; not for the self-sufficient, but for those who know they need rescue.
Leader: To all who are weary and need rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who feel worthless and wonder if God even cares; to all who are weak and frail and desire strength; to all who sin and need a savior—
People: Jesus welcomes into his circle, adopts into his family, and reserves a place at his Table.
All: For he is the mighty friend of sinners, the ally of his enemies, the defender of the indefensible, and the justifier of those who have no excuses left.
