NEWS OF THE CHURCH One: Lift up your hearts. Many: We lift them up to the Lord. One: Let us worship God.
PRELUDE I Surrender All arr. Stan Pethel
* CALL TO WORSHIP (Responsive) / Screen (Psalm 91)
One: Those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Many: They will say of the Lord, “God is my refuge and fortress, the one in whom we trust.” One: Those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the refuge of God’s wings. Many: They will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day. One: “Those who love me, I will deliver,” says the Lord. Many: O Lord, we call to you now. Show us your salvation.
* HYMN BCH 176 / Screen Majesty, Worship His Majesty
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION / Screen Gracious and generous God, you lavishly bestow the gift of your love. Forgive us, we pray - when we don’t see or recognize your gifts for what they are. Grant us a spirit of contentment, that we may be grateful for your provision and share the gifts you give with others. In the name of your matchless gift, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
* ASSURANCE OF PARDON / Screen One: People of God, do not set your hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on the richness of God, who provides us everything for our enjoyment. Be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share. Many: In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
* RESPONSE BCH 71 / Screen Glory Be to the Father

AN ODD COUPLE, JONAH and RUTH: LESSONS FOR OUR FRACTURED WORLD – We'll study 2 books from the Old Testament that reveal God's love

while the Book of Ruth presents a picture of what life would look like if God’s
people treated each other with His loving-kindness.
CHRISTIAN CONVERSATIONS: THE LIFE YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED -
In this 6-week video-based study, John Ortberg shows us how to live as Jesus
would on a day-to-day basis. We'll work together toward a life filled with new
