*GREETING ONE ANOTHER
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. All: Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Leader: Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
All: praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe,
Unison: praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
*HYMN #280 “Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound” (vs. 1 choir & boys choir; rest congregation joins)
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord, you are a God who keeps promises. In our prayers and songs we say that we want to be Christians, but then we forget our promises. Our actions do not match up with our words. We say mean things to other people, we hurt their feelings, we think of ourselves first, and worst of all, we ignore you. Lord, forgive us and hear our prayer for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Lord, for this joy, we give you thanks.
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. 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
