Choral Introit........ “We Have Come Into This House”1 ...............Chancel Choir
Greeting and Welcome
Time of Centering Prayer
**Hymn #133 (UMH)................................................ “Leaning
on the Everlasting Arms”
What idols we fashion with our hands, how much energy and time serving them occupy our
hearts! Let us confess how we have misplaced our priorities and seek the One who asks
us to be first in our lives.
Loving God, we are enslaved to sin and so we oftentimes cannot see the sin in our lives.
Each day there are those times when we ignore you and your will for us. Each week we
find the time to ridicule others, when we could have affirmed them. Each moment we
seek our own way rather than skipping down your path of joy and obedience. We come
asking forgiveness for our foolish lives. Deliver us and break the chains of sin and death
which hold us captive. Open us to your grace and give us the gift of the Spirit so we may
live as people of the Risen
Lord, Jesus Christ.
Silent Prayers of Confession
Leader: In the beginning was God, and at the end
will be God, and in every
moment in between, there is God:
creating, redeeming, and sustaining
us.
People: And through Christ, God’s love
is made known to us. Thanks be to
God that Jesus is with us and
forgives us. AMEN.

Touched Me”
Sermon..................................... “An Ironic Escape”............................ Rev. Eric Warner
He is Lord, he is Lord! He is risen from the dead and he is Lord! Every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Prayer
Concerns/Pastoral Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
AMEN.
I cast all my cares upon you, I lay all of my burdens down at your feet, and anytime that
I don't know what to do, I
will cast all my cares upon you.
Announcements
**Hymn #717 (UMH).................................................. “The
Battle Hymn of the Republic”
We leave this place of prayer, to join in God’s mission of redemption. We leave this place of
grace, to share the compassion and joy of Jesus with others. We leave to be with the people of
our world so the Spirit might move in us and through us to bring salvation to everyone.
AMEN.
Bind us together, Lord, bind us together with cords
that cannot be broken.
Bind us together, Lord, bind us together, bind us
together in love.
