• Responsive Call To Worship

  RESPONSIVE CALL TO WORSHIP

  
  LEADER: We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

  PEOPLE: God has made us and called us his own.

  LEADER: We have been created for good works, for lives that reflect the love of Christ.

  PEOPLE: God is already at work, preparing the way before us.

  LEADER: So we come today ready to worship, ready to listen, and ready to follow.

  ALL: Let us worship the God who created us and calls us to live for him.

  PEOPLE: We come to worship Jesus, our Savior and our Lord.

  LEADER: Let us worship God together!

• Unison Prayer of Confession

  Heavenly Father, You created us in Christ Jesus for good works, but too often we choose our own way. We get caught up in ourselves and miss the people and opportunities You place before us. Forgive us when we forget who we are and what You have called us to do. Open our eyes to where You are already at work. Give us willing hearts and willing hands to follow where You lead. Hear us now as we silently confess our sins to You.

• Affirmation of Faith

  NICENE CREED

  We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in the one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

• Scripture Reading

  1 Peter 4:10-11

  10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
