Call to Worship            

Psalm 111:1-2, 9-10                

Praise the LORD! 

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. 

He has sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever.  

Holy and awesome is his name! The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Call to Confession ​

Proverbs 28:13​​

​

Corporate Confession of Sin            

Faithful Lord, we confess that we have often walked by sight and not by faith. We have served in our own strength instead of the strength which You supply; we have relied on our own resources rather than trusting You to provide; we have been consumed by worry, guilt, and restlessness because we seek to control our own lives rather than resting and relying on You for everything that we need for life and godliness. Father, forgive us for our lack of faith, and by the power of Your Spirit work in us true and genuine repentance that gives life to true and genuine faith. Grant us zealous hearts, fervent devotion, and tireless hope in the Gospel. We ask this in the name of  Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
