Prelude
Welcome and Announcements *Call to Worship To your name, O Lord, help us to bow the knee and all its worshiping, bow the will and all its choosing, bow the heart and all its loving. Amen. *Hymn 619 Praise My Soul the King of Heaven Prayer God of love, you have willed that the last be first and you have made a little child the measure of your kingdom. We may be reluctant to embrace humility and service, for to do so may imply work and will require a spirit of cooperation and compromise. Forgive us for our complacency, hesitation, or indifference and give us the wisdom which is from above, so we may understand, that, in your sight, the one who serves is the greatest of all. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, whose service gives us life and hope. Amen. Hymn 698 Take, O Take Me As I Am Assurance of Forgiveness God’s Word is truth: That Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem and re-form our lives. The old life is gone and a new life has begun. Your sins are forgiven. Be at peace with God, one another, and yourselves. Amen.

Amen. *Hymn 596 A Charge to Keep I have *Blessing And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be upon you today and always.
