Welcome... Pastor Charles

*Call to Worship (Psalm 130:6-7, CEB)... Rebecca Glancy

I hope, LORD. My whole being hopes, and I wait for God’s promise. My whole being waits for my Lord—more than the night watch waits for morning; Yes, more than the night watch waits for morning! Israel, wait for the LORD! Because faithful love is with the LORD, because great redemption is with our God!

*Hymn...  “Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain” (UMH #315)

Prayer of Confession (Book of Worship #483)... Rebecca Glancy

God of grace and glory, we thank You that You judge us not by the perfection of our actions, by our readiness to live boldly by faith. Help us, as individuals and as a congregation, to trust You and follow where You lead, that in Christ Your name may be glorified in all the earth. Amen.
