Prelude
Welcome and Announcements
Call to Worship
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his steadfast love endures forever.
We thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
The Lord satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills
with good things.
We thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
and will tell of his deeds with songs of joy.
*Response:
No. 213
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future.
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
Scripture Reading
Prayer of the Day
*Hymn #560
Assurance of Pardon
Hear the good news. This statement is completely
reliable and should be universally accepted:
Christ Jesus entered the world to rescue sinners.
He personally bore our sins in his body on the cross,
so that we might be dead to sin and alive to all that is
good.
Friends, believe the good news of the gospel.
In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
For the Beauty of the Earth
*Prayer of Confession (Unison)
Almighty God: you love us, but we have not loved
you; you call, but we have not listened. We walk away
from neighbors in need, wrapped up in our own
concerns. We have gone along with evil, with
prejudice, warfare, and greed. God our Father,
help us to face up to ourselves, so that, as you move
toward us in mercy, we may repent, turn to you,
and receive forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Colossians 3:1-12
The Word of the Lord
*Hymn #274
Luke 12:13-21
The Word of the Lord
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; 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 Spirit; the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the
resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
