Theme: Courage To Declare The Gospel
Call To Worship
Rejoice, people of God! Bow your heads before the One who is our wisdom and our strength. Rejoice, people of God! Celebrate the life within you, and Christ's presence in our midst! Come, be touched and cleansed by the power of God's Spirit.
Invocation
Most Holy God, we await the touch of your Spirit with eagerness. We ask that you enter the lives of each one of us today, refreshing and renewing and healing with the power of your loving Spirit, that we may live with purpose and enthusiasm and courage after the manner of Jesus Christ our Lord. Help us to care so deeply for one another and for your children everywhere that we will be determined to share not only the gospel of God, but also our selves. Amen.
Confession
O Lord, cleanse us from all manner of deceit and improper motives as we attempt to share your gospel with others. Let us not use flattery or seek praise as we present ourselves as your disciples. In all things may our aim be to please you, O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Offertory Prayer
Lord, we are anxious to share not only the gospel but our very selves with your children throughout the world who have not accepted your love. Bless these gifts, we pray, as symbols of the giving of our selves for the work of your kingdom. Amen.
Hymns
"'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus"
