prayer of confession

Our God, we have forgotten what a generous God you are. Believing you hold back from us, we have held back from others and from you. Gracious Father, hear our confessions and remind us of your lavish gifts of love and joy. Help us believe the truth of who you are, that we might serve you with all we are.

Fight the good fight with all thy might; Christ is thy strength and Christ thy right; Lay hold on life, and it shall be Thy joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race through God’s good grace, Lift up thine eyes, and seek Christ’s face; Life with its way before us lies, Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.

Cast care aside, lean on thy guide; God’s boundless mercy will provide; Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

Faint not nor fear, God’s arms are near; God changeth not, and thou art dear; Only believe, and thou shalt see That Christ is all in all to thee. - John Samuel Bewley Monsell

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands! Serve the Lord with gladness, And come before his presence with a song; Bless the Lord! Bless the Lord!

Ubi caritas Deus ibi est. Where there is charity and love, God is there. We have gathered in this place, Joining hearts in love and praise, Giving thanks to God above, We go out to serve in love.

congregational prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

offering our gifts“And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you”- Genesis 28:22

In Christ: Letters from Paul Bryan Dunagan

Titus 3:1-8 (Sanctuary Bible, page 1272) Senior Pastor

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will by shield and portion be As long as life endures.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.- John Newton

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
