Responsive Call to Worship: Colossians 1: 15 – 20; 1 Timothy 1: 17
Leader: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
All: For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Leader: And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church.
All: He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
Leader: For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
All: To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer of Adoration
Hymn of Praise: Hymnal #295 Crown Him With Many Crowns
We Confess Our Sin
Call to Confession: Based on Romans 5:5, 8; Hebrews 4:16
Leader: God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The proof of God’s amazing love is this: While we were sinners Christ died for us. Because we have faith in him, we dare to approach God in confidence.
Confident in God’s grace, let us confess our sin before God and one another.
Silent Confession of Sin
Corporate Prayer of Confession: From the Book of Common Worship
All: Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
In your mercy, forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.
Assurance of Pardon: Romans 8: 34; 2 Corinthians 5: 17
Leader: Hear the good news! Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun.

The Lord’s Prayer
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. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
