ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Lord, we have come to see that our lives fall far short of your glory.
Lord have mercy and forgive us.
Lord you have given your life for us, and poured out your Spirit,
Yet we fail to return your love with our heart.
Have mercy and change us.
Too often we are selfish and proud,
Ignoring you, Lord, and neglecting others.
Have mercy and cleanse us.
Lord, when we do not truly trust and obey you,
We are overwhelmed by self pity, fear and worry.
Have mercy and deliver us.
In Christ we are given a sure hope and secure love,
Yet we follow the false hopes and desires of the world.
Have mercy and forgive us.
Father, through the redeeming death of your Son on the cross,
By your Spirit and through you word,
Transform and renew us to follow you with joy.
All this we ask, confident in your unchanging faithfulness. Amen.
OPENING HYMN: “in Christ there is No East or West” #548 UMH
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open,
all desires known and from you no secrets are hidden.
Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit,
That we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
