*CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 30:1-5)
Leader: I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up,
and did not let my foes rejoice over me.
People: O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you
have healed me.
Leader: O Lord, you brought up my soul from the grave,
restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones, and give
thanks to his holy name.
People: For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for
a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes
with the morning.
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (In Unison)
Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess
our
sinfulness, our shortcomings,
and our offenses against you.
You
alone know how often we have sinned
in wandering from your
ways,
in wasting your gifts,
in forgetting your love.
Have mercy
on us, O Lord,
for we are ashamed and sorry
for all we have done
to displease you. Forgive our sins,
and help us to live in your
light
and walk in your ways,
for the sake of Jesus Christ, our
Savior. Amen.
2 Kings 2:1-14

What is Per Capita
Per Capita is the administrative cost of our higher
governing bodies. It is based on the number of active members in
each congregation. Every congregation is expected to pay the Per
Capita for the entire year. Our church will pay:
$31.00 per Member for 2015
$6,789 for the whole congregation for 2015
Many of you use the Per Capita envelope in your boxes. If
you do not have the Per Capita envelope but would like to
contribute your portion, you can send a check to the church office
with Per Capita written in the memo line. The amount is figured as
follows:
1. 2 adult members
2 x $31 = $62.00
2. 2 adult members + one confirmed youth member
3 x $31.00 = $93
3. 1 adult member + 1 confirmed youth
member
2 x $31.00 = $62.00
Thank you everyone!
