 THE PEOPLE OF GOD GATHERING 

PRELUDE

CALL TO WORSHIP

 

* HYMN of Praise                                                      Congregational Favorite                      

 

*CONFESSION OF SIN

BEFORE YOU, LORD, WE STAND FULLY REVEALED.  WHILE WE CAN
OFTEN HIDE OUR TRUE SELF FROM OTHERS AND OURSELVES, WE
KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU WE ARE AN OPEN BOOK.  YOU KNOW
OUR INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND OUR SECRET AMBITIONS. 
YOU UNDERSTAND THE FEELINGS WE DISGUISE AND THE EASY
EXCUSES THAT ARE EXPOSED FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE. 
YET YOU LOVE US ANYWAY. IN OUR WAYWARDNESS, YOU ACCEPT
US AS YOUR CHILDREN.  WE TURN TO YOU IN HUMILITY AND
CONTRITION ASKING FOR THE FORGIVENESS YOU HAVE PROMISED IN
JESUS CHRIST.  AMEN.

MEN'S FRATERNITY- the Quest for Authentic Manhood. This

life; explores in depth the biblical concept of manhood; and finally
provides practical building blocks for any man to use to construct
for himself a nobler, more satisfying manhood. The first session begins on Monday, September 13th. Contact Ron Dickerson at 582-0076 for
more details or to enroll. Also, a sign-up sheet and informational flyer

CONFESSION OF FAITH

 

WE BELIEVE THERE IS NOT CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO
ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.  FOR WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS
WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, WHO
ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO GOD'S PURPOSE.  WE ARE
CONVINCED THAT NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS,
NOR RULERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME,
NOR POWERS, NOR HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH, NOR ANYTHING ELSE IN
ALL CREATION, WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE
OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.  AMEN.
