Call to Worship
Come let us serve God
We want to serve the one who created us, blessed us and freed us.
Come let us worship the God of Potent Promises
Come let us Praise God’s Holy name
Call to Worship (based on Psalm 27)
The Lord is my Salvation, whom shall I fear
When evildoers assail me, they shall stumble and fall.
One day I ask, to live in the house of the Lord for all the days of my life
I long to behold the beauty of the Lord, and inquire in God’s temple.
Come let us seek the Lord,
Come let us worship the God of our Salvation!
Call to Confession: Let us give ourselves to God’s promise that God will listen to anything we have to confess
Confession: God I confess that I do not always believe the promises that are uncovered in rainbows and stars and the grains of sands. Sometimes, I do not feel blessed to be a blessing, and I try to measure things, instead of telling the stories of your promises. Forgive me. Help me to remember that your promises unfold across generations and in unexpected ways. Help me to see your potent promises I pray. (Silent Confession) Amen.
Assurance of Pardon: Hear the Good News, Jesus promises forgiveness, every time we confess our sins. Let us proclaim the good news to one another: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Amen.
Prayer of the Day: God help us to find your promises in all the unexpected places, give us the eyes to see and the ears to hear them we pray. Amen.
Hymns: Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken, Great God We Sing That Mighty Hand, When in Our Music God is Glorified, God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens (remembering Abrahamic Covenant), Many and Great O God Are Thy Things, O God the Creator, Great is Thy Faithfulness
Children: Talk about Renewal or Drafts and that we have to work on our promises to God and do them many, many times and keep working on ourselves before we get it right. This is why Joshua Renews the Covenant with God—and Jesus does it again. Book Suggestion:
“The Book of Mistakes” Corinna Lukyen or “Harold and the Purple Crayon”
