from Psalm 62

For God alone my soul waits in silence; From him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my deliverance and my honor; My mighty rock, my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Let us worship God. *Hymn No. 260 “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” Ein’ Feste Burg *Prayer of Confession Almighty God, You love us, but we have not loved you. You call, but we have not listened. We walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped in our own concerns. We want to be in control of the direction of our lives. We fail to trust your leading and your goodness. God of grace, help us to admit our sins, so that when you come to us in mercy, We may repent and receive forgiveness and follow you anew. Through Jesus Christ, Amen. *Assurance of Pardon *Congregational Response

“First Song of Isaiah”

Surely it is God who saves me; I will trust in him and not be afraid. For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense, And he will be my Savior. Repeat Anthem “Give Me Jesus” arr. Fernando Ortega/adapted G. Pysh FPC Men’s Chorus; Gregory Pysh, conductor Ron Whitaker, Kerry Meise, soloists In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus. You can have all this world, but give me Jesus. And when I am alone, give me Jesus. You can have all this world, but give me Jesus. And when I come to die, give me Jesus. You can have all this world, but give me Jesus. African-American Spiritual

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. Offering of Our Gifts and Ourselves

Baptized in water, Sealed by the Spirit, Marked with the sign of Christ, our King; Born of the Spirit, We are God’s children, Joyfully now God’s praises we sing.

Randall Thompson

He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, Even a morning without clouds; As the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining After rain. Alleluia. Amen 2 Samuel 23:3-4
