GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing. *HYMN #481

Praise the Lord, Gods Glories Show

LLANFAIR

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION Heavenly Father, we are quick to say that we live and move and have our being in you, but is it true? We confess that we live for ourselves, move as wed like, and, while we owe our being to you, we act as though we do not. Have mercy on us. We pray when we want something, not to bring ourselves closer to you; we pray when we are at church, not because our hearts are moved by your grace. Forgive us; transform and renew us. We are your children and this is your world. May we never forget you, but truly serve and love you all the days of our lives. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. SILENT PRAYERS OF PERSONAL CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON Believe the Good News: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! Amen. *GLORIA PATRI #579 TIME WITH YOUNG DISCIPLES PRESENTATION OF BIBLES TO CONFIRMAND CLASS GREATOREX

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (from The Study Catechism: Confirmation Version) Q.96 What is the purpose of prayer? Prayer brings us into communion with God. The more our lives are rooted in prayer, the more we sense how wonderful God is in grace, purity, majesty and love. Prayer means offering our lives completely to God, submitting ourselves to Gods will, and waiting faithfully for Gods grace. Through prayer, God frees us from anxiety, equips us for service, and deepens our faith.
