Opening Scripture Sentence: Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name (Psalm 86:11). A disciple is not above the teacher…it is enough for the student to be like his teacher…(Matthew 10:24-25).
*Opening Prayer Pastor
*Call to Worship Responsive Reading, from Psalm 86:1-10,12
Leader: Hear, O Lord, and answer us, for we are poor and needy. Guard our lives, for we are devoted to you. You are our God; save your servants, who trust in you.
All: Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call on you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. In the day of my trouble, I will call to you, for you will answer me.
Leader: You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you. Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
All: All the nations you have made will come and worship before you; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God! I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.

Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
God of grace and mercy, how shall we measure our sins in the face of your limitless grace? You alone know their true dimensions. You see the history of our disobedience, the effects of our hatred and lack of love, the prejudices that come from wrongful thinking, the unforgiveness and vengeance of our hearts. However you count our sins, there is not one of us who does not stand in need of your grace, which is poured out on us through Jesus Christ. Hear our confessions and forgive our sins, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
We know that our old self was crucified with Christ, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin… The death Christ died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:6, 10-11

Our Giving to the Lord Pastor
The heart that hoards the blessings of God is no longer alive with spiritual power. To give is to live. Let us, then, be faithful stewards of our time, our talents, and our money. As recipients of abundant life in Christ, we give our offering to God.
