BRINGING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST INTO THIS ROOM

*CALL TO WORSHIP

ALL: (Hymn 40, verse 1)

      Joy to the World! the Lord is come: Let earth receive her King: Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and heaven and nature sing.

ONE:  We wait for God in silence; our hope is from the Lord.

ALL:  Only God is our rock and our salvation; we shall not be shaken!

ONE:  We will trust in the Lord at all times; we can pour out our hearts to God.

ALL:  Our trust is in the Lord.  Let us now turn to God!         (From Psalm 62)

*HYMN  469          “Morning Has Broken”

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Eternal God, we come as a congregation with mixed concerns: we want to grow, but we’re afraid we will have to change; we want to share the Good News, but we don’t know how; we want to be more effective disciples of Jesus, but it goes against our own interests. Help us, we pray!  By Your grace, renew us, turn us around, and show us the Way to go, in Jesus’ name.

         *SILENT PRAYER

        *ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PARDON

       *GLORIA PATRI (Hymn 579)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

World without end! Amen, Amen.

*HYMN  426         “Lord, Speak to Me, That I May Speak”

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH  (from A Brief Statement of Faith, 1991)

In life and in death we belong to God.  Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel , whom alone we worship and serve.  We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God, [who] proclaimed the reign of God.  We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father.  In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image.  We trust in the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life.  With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER (Page 16, Traditional)

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; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever.  Amen.
