CalltoWorship
The Lord hears us when we call:
Come, let us put our trust in God.
The Lord fills our hearts with gladness:
Come, let us sing God’s praises with shouts of joy!
The Lord grants peace to our weary souls:
Come, let us rest by the quiet waters of God’s grace.

AffirmationofFaith
AnneStultz
We believe there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus; for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to God’s purpose. We are convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

AngelaZimmerman
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

To be in God’s presence is to be changed. During this moment of silent reflection, consider the change God wishes to make in you.
Responding to God’s Word

If God is calling you to follow Jesus for the first time, to rededicate yourself as a Christ-follower, or as a faithful Christian, to join the fellowship of our church, we encourage you to come forward to speak to our pastor during this closing hymn.
