Pastor Alan Adams
No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that
person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by
God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
(John 6:44-45)

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
VERSE OF PREPARATION (from front of bulletin)
CHORAL INTROIT: The Lord is in His Holy Temple George Root
CALL TO WORSHIP: Elder Judy Kirkpatrick
Come, people of God, to know again who you are, return to the one who gives you life.
We come as children of God, longing for a closer walk with our Creator. Come all who are thirsty for living water. Open yourselves to the one who supplies it.
We have assembled to hear for ourselves the Good News Christ brings to all people. God meets and accepts us where we are, helping us to know ourselves as God knows us.
We come with the conviction that ‘God in Christ’ is our hope and salvation.
*SONG OF PRAISE: My Faith Looks Up to Thee No. 419
*PRAYER OF INVOCATION
CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)
Almighty God, you love us, but we do not love you fully.
You call, but we do not always listen.
We often walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped in our own concerns.
We often condone that which is evil and ignore that which is good.
God of Grace, help us to admit our sin, so that we may turn
to you and receive forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen. (a moment for silent confession)
ASSURANCE OF GOD’S LOVE
*RESPONDING WITH PRAISE: Change My Heart, O God No. 373
Change my heart, O God, -- make it ever true.
Change my heart, O God -- may I be like you.
You are the Potter, -- I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, -- this is what I pray.
Change my heart, O God, -- make it ever true.
Change my heart, O God -- may I be like you.
A MOMENT WITH OUR YOUNG DISCIPLES
