*Call to Worship (Psalm 100:1-4)
ONE:Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
ALL: Worship the Lord with gladness;
ONE:Come before him with joyful songs.
ALL: Know that the Lord is God.
ONE:It is he who made us, and we are his;
ALL: We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
ONE:Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
ALL: Give thanks to him and praise his name.
*Hymn 167 “When Morning Gilds the Skies”
1. When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
2. When sleep her balm denies,
my silent spirit sighs:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
When evil thoughts molest,
with this I shield my breast:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
3. Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised.

4. In heav'n's eternal bliss
the loveliest strain is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
The pow'rs of darkness fear,
when this sweet chant they hear:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
5. Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Let air and sea and sky,
from depth to height, reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
6. Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Be this th'eternal song,
through all the ages on:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
*Invocation
*Call to Confession (Psalm 66:16, 18-20)
The psalmist testifies: “Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he
has done for my soul. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not
have listened. But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast
love from me!” In the strength of this assurance, let us confess our sins to God.
*Prayer of Confession (Psalm 25:6-8, 11, 16-18)
Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been
from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your
goodness! Good and upright is the Lord; therefore, he instructs sinners in
the way. For your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great. Turn
to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my
heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses. Consider my affliction and
my trouble, and forgive all my sins. Amen.
*Words of Assurance

*Response of Praise “The Gloria Patri”
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

Sermon “Coming to Christ” Dr. Michael Rogers
*Hymn “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”
1. Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
2. O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain
O'er which our traffic runs amain
By mountain pass or valley low;
Wherever, Lord, thy brethren go,
Protect them by thy guarding hand
From every peril on the land.
3. O Spirit, whom the Father sent
To spread abroad the firmament;
O Wind of heaven, by thy might
Save all who dare the eagle's flight,
And keep them by thy watchful care
From every peril in the air.
4. O Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them whereso'er they go,
Thus evermore shall rise to thee
Glad praise from air and land and sea
*Benediction
