A Moment for Ministry: Community Groups
Responsive Call to Worship: Daniel 7: 13 – 14
Leader: In Daniel’s vision, he saw coming with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him.
All: Christ’s dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
Prayer of Adoration
Hymn of Praise: Hymnal #42 El Shaddai
We Confess Our Sin
Call to Confession: Matthew 11: 28 – 30
Leader: Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Let us come to the Lord and confess our sins.
Silent Confession of Sin
Corporate Prayer of Confession:
All: Lord, you have chosen us before the foundation of the world. You have destined us for adoption as Your children through Jesus Christ. Accordingly, our identity as family members in Christ should be obvious to the world. But we confess that sometimes our words and deeds do not match up with our heavenly distinction. Forgive us when we fail, Lord. Thank You for the redemption that we continue to have in Jesus, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we are grateful. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon: Isaiah 45:21-22
Leader: There is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Hymn of Assurance: Hymnal #500 Rock of Ages

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
