Sermon Notes:
GATHER Welcome & Announcements Call to Worship — based on Proverbs 8:32-35 and Psalm 145:9-12 Blessed are they who walk in the ways of wisdom. Hear her instruction and be wise. Blessed are they who listen and find life and favor from the LORD. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your faithful people praise you. They tell about your glorious kingdom. They speak about your power. Then all people will know about the mighty things you have done. They will know about the glorious majesty of your kingdom. Come, let us worship our God and King! SONG: God We Sing Your Glorious Praises SONG: O Come to the Altar Call to Confession — from Isaiah 1:18; Jeremiah 31:34 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. We confess that we envy others. We do not live like Christ who calls us to be content with what we have. Forgive us, Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” We covet what belongs to our neighbor. Our lives are driven by our wants. Forgive us, Lord. “Though your sins are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” We begrudge the invitation to give generously and joyfully. We turn away from the needs of others and do not see the difference our caring can make. Forgive us, Lord. “I will forgive… and will remember their sins no more.” Silent Prayers of Confession SONG: Good to Me
Passing the Peace & Mutual Greetings The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you! KIDSTREET Dismissal (4 years — 2nd grade) One: People of God, what is our prayer?
