WORDS OF WELCOME
*CALL TO WORSHIP (John 19)
Leader: Jesus said, “All this I have spoken while still with you.
People: But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
Leader: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
People: Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”
Leader: Therefore, let us turn to the Lord in prayer asking him to send the Holy Spirit afresh upon us all.
*PRAYER OF INVOCATION
*HYMN Jesus Loves Me
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (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 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.
*GLORY BE TO THE FATHER
PRAYER
OF CONFESSION
Spirit of God, too often we cut ourselves off from the power of Your presence, seeking fulfillment in everything but Your love. We know that You have given each of us gifts and abilities to help make our world a better place, but we often use them only for our own benefit. Teach us to work together and to appreciate each other’s abilities. We can change the world through Your power and gifts. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
(John 3:16-17)
Leader: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Therefore, let us assure one another of God’s pardon. All: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
