*Call to Worship (Responsive)

If it had not been God who was on our side,

the troubles of our world would have swallowed us whole.

If it had not been God who was on our side,

the sorrows of our times would have swept us away.

Are any among us suffering?

Come and pray.

Are any among us cheerful?

Come sing songs of praise.

Are any among us sick?

Come and ask for healing.

Our help is in our God,

the One who made heaven and earth.

Call upon God, creator and rescuer. God is on our side.

Silent Prayer/Preparation (Unison)

Eternal God, you create us and you rescue us. Be here with us now. Help us know how much we need you. Teach us that no other power can support us like your power. As you share your power with us, teach us to be Christ to the world, proclaiming your reign for all people. As you lavish your love upon us, help us receive that love and offer it to the world, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayers of the People

Scripture ………………………………….…Hebrews 10:19-25

19 Therefore, my friends, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Proclamation of the Word ………………“This Is Us! Wk 7”

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried;

the third day he rose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body

and the life everlasting. Amen.

Hymn of Commitment

“How Great Thou Art”.….………………..Hymn #77 vs 1,2,4

*Benediction (Unison)

God has created all things. God has rescued us from sin and suffering. Let us go forth, seeking to be on God’s side. Jesus Christ finds us when we wander far from God. Let us go forth, seeking to be on God’s side. The Holy Spirit empowers us to welcome all into the reign of God’s love. Let us go forth, seeking to be on God’s side, bringing the love of Christ everywhere we go.
