All who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are welcome to join St. Andrew's. If you have no church home, we invite you to consider uniting with us as we seek to faithfully serve our Lord.  Speak to an usher or the Pastor at the close of the service to learn more.

BRINGING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST INTO THIS ROOM

*CALL TO WORSHIP

       ALL:  (Hymn 138, verse 1)

Holy, holy, holy!  Lord God Almighty!  Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!  God in three Persons, blessed Trinity. 

        ONE:  I put my trust in your mercy; O God, my heart is joyful because of your saving help.

        ALL:  We will sing to the Lord, for God has dealt with us richly; We will praise the name of God Most High.

        ONE:  Let us worship God.

*HYMN  483     “Sing Praise to God, Who Reigns Above”

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON

O God, have mercy upon us as You hear our confession.  We are prone to do work to earn your favor and grace.  You have taught us that Jesus is the source of salvation, yet we unceasingly strive to save our own souls.  Time becomes an encumbrance when there is so much to do.  We scarcely have strength to accomplish demands.  Teach us again of our acceptance in Jesus, and release us from bondage to our own striving for perfection.

            *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.

TIME WITH THE CHILDREN

Jesus loves me, this I know!  For the Bible tells me so.  Little ones to him belong, They are weak, but he is strong!  Yes, Jesus loves me!  Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so!

(Toddlers may go to the Nursery, older children to Children’s Church)

SERMON            “But, It’s Just a Seed!”                    Rev. Judy Henderson

HYMN  339             “Be Thou My Vision”

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (Page 14, Traditional)

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 Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on 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 Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.  Amen.

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.
