Welcome and Announcements
Call to Worship (based on Psalm 65)
L/Praise resounds to you O God in Zion. May all people come to you for you alone hear our prayers.
P/ When we were overwhelmed in our sins you forgave us and bring us into your courts!
L/ We are filled with your good things; we are the people who stream from your temple and bring your righteous love to the corners of the earth.
P/ When we were overwhelmed in our sins you forgave us and bring us into your courts!
L/ You O God are the hope of the earth. You alone can silence the tumult of the nations. You dawn as the morning star and call forth songs of joy as the sun sets.
P/ When we were overwhelmed in our sins you forgave us and bring us into your courts!
Hymn of Praise: #233 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
Confession and Assurance
L/ Let us take a moment of silence to reflect on our need for forgiveness…
P/ Merciful God, you pardon all who truly repent and turn to you. Send now your Spirit that we can truly and humbly confess our sins and ask for your mercy. We have not loved you with all our heart nor have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have failed to do justice, to love kindness, or to walk humbly with you. Have mercy on us O God and in your compassion cleanse us from our sins. Restore us in your grace and love that we might sing with the joy of the redeemed!
L/ Hear these words of scripture: “Thus says the Lord over is people: I myself will rescue them, I will gather my people from all the places darkness has scattered them and I will restore them…I will shepherd my people with justice and mercy. (Ezekiel 34: 12, 16) I declare our sins are forgiven and we are remade by the blood of Jesus and the Life of the Spirit.

Sermon “A Praise-filled Life” Rev. Dr. Tim Harmon
Affirmation of Faith: The Apostles’ Creed (180, PCUSA Book of Confessions 2.1-2.3)
All? 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, died, and was buried; Jesus descended into Hell; on the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; Jesus will come again to judge the living 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.

Prayers of the People
Sacrament of the Lord’s Table

Invitation to the Table
L/ The Lord be with you P/ And also with you
L/ Lift up your hearts P/ We lift them to the Lord
L/ Let us give God thanks and praise P/ We worship God
L/ Holy, holy we call out as your people. We praise You for your love: bringing order out of chaos, breathing life into dust, leading captives into freedom, calling wandering children home, giving bread to the hungry and drink to the thirsty, raising the dead to life. Let us join with the angels and saints all the faithful from every time in singing to your glory:
P/ Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory. (Isaiah 6: 3; Revelation 4:8) Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is the one that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! (Psalm 118:25; Matthew 21:9)
L/ Thank you Lord for Jesus: Word made flesh, Light of the world, Living Water, Shepherd and Gate, Way and Truth, Bread of Heaven, Cup of Salvation, the Resurrection and Life. WE remember on the night he was betrayed for our sins and redemption, he gathered with his friends. He took bread…
L/ Let us offer our praise
P/ Take tis bread and cup O God—a feast of grace; take our hearts and lives—an offering of praise.
L/ Spirit come, live in us, Live in this bread and cup, live in your people and make us one in body and one in blood. Make us alive as one with Christ, one in ministry, in this place and every place, in this time and in all times past and future, in this world and in the world to come.
P/ Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is Yours Almighty Father, forever and ever. Amen. (Romans 11:36)
Lord’s Prayer (using debts, debtors)
Communion
We practice open communion which means all who seek Jesus are welcome whether members of the PC(USA) or not. Please hold the elements when they come to you until; we can partake together.
Prayer of Thanksgiving (from our Reformed Heritage)
L/ Almighty God, our heavenly Father, be with us this day. Grant us the peace of pardoned children and the security of those who are home in Thy house, fed at Thy table, comforted at Thy side, and guarded by Thine own hand. Amen. (William Barclay, 1956, Church of Scotland Pastor)
