Call to Worship Rev. Tommy Wilkes Lord, we would grow with you New shoots reaching out Hands stretched upward Like leaves newly formed Soaking up your light and warmth Lord, we would grow with you

Lord, we would grow with you In sunshine and rain In darkness and light In cold days and summer days From Springtime to Winter Lord, we would grow with you

Lord, we would grow with you And bring forth fruit That is pleasing to you Fed by your living water Giving sustenance to others Lord, we would grow with you

Welcome and Announcements Wayne Waldrop, Lay Servant

Presentation of Colors Girl Scouts

Call to Worship Wayne Waldrop, Lay Servant Those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. They will say of the Lord, “God is my refuge and fortress, the one in whom we trust.” Those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the refuge of God’s wings. They will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day. “Those who love me, I will deliver,” says the Lord. O Lord, we call to you now. Show us your salvation.

Opening Prayer Hymn of Praise Rock of Ages Hymn 361

Prayer of Confession Gracious and generous God, you lavishly bestow the gift of your love. Forgive us, we pray— when we don’t see or recognize your gifts for what they are; when we think we have somehow earned or are entitled to your generosity; when we take what you give and beg you for more; when we hoard our gifts and do not hear the mournful cry of those around us; when our desire for more plunges us into ruin and destruction. Teach us the ways of godliness, and grant us a spirit of contentment, that we may be grateful for your provision and share the gifts you give with others. As we are blessed by you, so may we be a blessing to others, in the name of your matchless gift, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Words of Assurance People of God, do not set your hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on the richness of God, who provides us everything for our enjoyment. Be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

Passing of the Peace (Congregation greets one another in the name of the Lord) The Peace of the Lord be always with you And also with you
