Moment for Silent Prayer and Confession

(To be Prayed In Unison) Prayer of Confession (To be Prayed In Unison)

Holy God, You have saved us for a purpose: You have overcome the darkness that we might embrace the light; You have defeated evil powers to make us glad and

free. Yet we sin. We succumb to temptation and idolatry and miss opportunities You set before us. We neglect Your presence, which is as near

to us as our neighbor. Forgive our sins, O God, and teach us forgiveness. Teach us to love with determination and joy, that as children of light, we may resemble You. AMEN.

Assurance of Pardon

O Come to the Altar

Are you hurting and broken within? O Come To The Altar [Verse1] Are you hurting and broken within? Overwhelmed by the weight of you sin; Jesus is calling;

Have you come to the end of yourself? O Come To The Altar Have you come to the end of yourself? Do you thirst for a drink from the well? Jesus is calling.

The fathers arms are open wide The precious blood of Jesus Christ O Come To The Altar [Chorus] O come to The altar The fathers arms are open wide Forgiveness Was bought with The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes; O Come To The Altar [Verse 2] Leave behind your regrets and mistakes; Come today there's no reason to wait; Jesus is calling;

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy; O Come To The Altar Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy; From the ashes a new life is born; Jesus is calling.

The fathers arms are open wide The precious blood of Jesus Christ O Come To The Altar [Chorus] O come to The altar The fathers arms are open wide Forgiveness Was bought with The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O what a savior isn’t he wonderful O Come To The Altar [Bridge] O what a savior isn’t he wonderful Sing alleluia Christ is risen Bow down before him, for he is Lord of all
