*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
All: let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Leader: Let us come before him with thanksgiving
All: and extol him with music and song.
Leader: Come, let us bow down in worship,
All: let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
Leader: for he is our God
All: and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
*HYMN #150 “Come Christians Join to Sing”
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Our Father, we give You thanks and sing Your praise for being our God, our hope, and our salvation. But, Lord, we confess that we are sinners; we hide from You and want to go our own way. You see us as we really are, and You are calling us to come to You. We know that we have sinned but we have run out of strength and fallen away. Pour Your power into us, that we might follow You more closely. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our 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.
