Call to Worship

Elder Tyler Bendicion

Leader:      Christ is calling, inviting, urging: come and follow me!
People:     Let us set aside our agendas to respond to Christ's call.
Leader:      Christ offers us the opportunity to walk with Him, to come to know His heart
more deeply day by day.
People:     Nothing is more precious than opening our hearts to God who fills us with
love.
Leader:      Christ grants us the privilege of working alongside Him.
People:     There is no higher call and no greater joy than making a difference in the
kingdom of God.
ALL:          Let us worship Jesus Christ who calls us to follow Him! Amen.

“All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!”

Invocation *

Prayer of Confession

         Father in heaven, you have called us to be yours, yet we clearly remember the times when we did not take your call seriously. We recall the dark times in our lives when we could not see your light; nor did we seek it. We remember with remorse the time when we did not recognize the full life that you offered.
         Forgive us Lord. We confess we have been so full of ourselves; so impressed with our accomplishments. Forgive us when our actions show we did not need you. Take us back in. Thank you because you have never left our side. Grant us your humility so that you can use us for your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

(A time of silence for personal reflection, to be ended with the ringing of the bell.)

Meditation from the Word of God

“GRACE ALONE”
Rev. Emmanuel G. Orendain

Affirmation of Faith

(Confession of Belhar - selected verses) *

We believe that, from the beginning to the end of the world, and from among the whole human race, the Son of God, by his Spirit and his Word, gathers, protects, and preserves for himself, in the unity of the true faith, a congregation chosen for eternal life.

We believe the Church is an assembly of the faithful called or gathered out of the world; a communion of all saints, namely, of those who truly know and rightly worship and serve the true God in Christ the Savior, by the Word and Holy Spirit, and who by faith are partakers in all the benefits which are freely offered through Christ.
