Call to Worship
Psalm 65:1-4
Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion,
and to you shall vows be performed.
O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.
When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions.
Blessed is the one you choose and bring near to dwell in your courts!
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!

Corporate Confession of Sin
adapted from Jeremiah 2
O LORD, like your people of old we have often committed evil. We have done this by forsaking you, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for ourselves that can hold no water. We have brought your discipline upon us by forsaking you, the LORD our God who led us in the way. We have made gods for ourselves and depended upon them rather than you and yet we have often declared ourselves to be innocent of any wrongdoing. In the name of Jesus Christ, please forgive our many sins against you. Amen.
Silent Confession of Sin
Assurance of Pardon
Isaiah 40:1-2
‘Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.’
"Walk by the Spirit"

Pastoral Prayer
Offertory
PCA Book of Church Order 54-1
The Holy Scriptures teach that God is the owner of all persons and all things and that we are but stewards of both life and possessions; that God’s ownership and our stewardship should be acknowledged; that this acknowledgement should take the form, in part, of giving at least a tithe of our income and other offerings to the work of the Lord through the Church of Jesus Christ, thus worshipping the Lord with our possessions; and that the remainder should be used as becomes Christians.
