Welcome

Prelude

~God Calls Us to Worship Him~

Call to Worship 1 Peter 1:3-7
Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Song Medley

Lamb of God (CCLI#251645)
Your only Son, no sin to hide,
But You have sent Him from Your side,
To walk upon this guilty sod,
And to become the Lamb of God.

Chorus:
Oh, Lamb of God, Sweet Lamb of God,
I love the Holy Lamb of God!
Oh wash me in His precious Blood,
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Your gift of love, they crucified,
They laughed and scorned Him as he died,
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God. Chorus

I was so lost, I should have died,
But You have brought me to Your side,
To be led by Your staff and rod,
And to be called a lamb of God. Chorus (2X’s)

O Lord, Our Lord (CCLI#251645)
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth.
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth.

O Lord, we praise Your name. O Lord, we magnify Your name,
Prince of Peace, Mighty God, O Lord God Almighty.
(Repeat twice)

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sin and Need
You, O Lord, have promised that if we will confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins. We come in penitence asking Your forgiveness, that we may know the joy of Your presence, and the light of Your face. You alone know how often we have offended You. Forgive us, O Lord, for every unkind thought, every untrue word, every wrong act. Forgive us for we have been selfish, and have not thought of the needs of others. Forgive us for our ingratitude, our neglect of prayer, our carelessness in the use of money, our forgetfulness of our sacred vows. O God, have mercy upon us. You O Lord are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. To You be the Glory. Create in us clean hearts, and renew a right sprit within us for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Song A Sinner Who Loves Grace (CCLI#251645)

Chorus:
Who am I to draw near You?
What have I, O Lord, to give You?
Just the grateful heart of a sinner who loves grace.
Who am I, Lord, to know You?
What have I, O Lord, to show You?
Just the grateful heart of a sinner who loves grace.

I love Your grace because it draws me
And teaches me to hate my sin.
I love Your grace amazing, the strength of my life.
It triumphs again and again. Chorus

I love Your grace because it saved me
And changes me every day.
I love Your grace creating a hunger in me
To know and walk in Your ways. Chorus
