WE ENTER INTO GOD’S PRESENCE
Preparation for Worship
Opening Music
*Call to Worship – Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and
praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues
through all generations.
*Opening Praise – “As the Deer…”
*Greeting
We are very thankful, God, that you want us to come and worship you.
We know you are listening to us when we sing and when we pray.
And we know that will bless us before we leave.
Thank you, God. Amen.
*We Greet Others
*Continuing Praise
“Rise Up and Praise Him”
“Blessed be the Name”
Call to Confession – 1 John 1:8-9
God’s Word assures us:
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins
and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
In humility and faith let us confess our sin to God.
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.
