CALL TO WORSHIP: Nathan Gardner Just before His crucifixion, our Lord lamented over the fate of His people, the Jews. O Jerusalem, Jersusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent! How often I would have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wing, but you would not! May we, as children of God, not be hard-hearted as well, and follow God with gladness and joy, clinging to Him as a child clings to its parents. *HYMN #595G Theyll Know We Are Christians vss. 1-3

*PRAYER of CONFESSION: Ransom Elwell Heavenly Father, time and time again people reject your loving offer of grace through your Son Jesus.

We pray for your forgiveness, and ask that your Spirit would dwell richly within us, to guide and direct us to live as your children should. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen. *HYMN #595G Theyll Know We Are Christians vs. 4 *AFFIRMATION of FAITH: Apostles Creed (back) Amy Elwell

They are open from 10-12PM and 46PM every Tuesday. If you are interested in helping once a month at either time, see Stephanie Ale for additional information.

THE APOSTLES CREED I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
