Bulletin for January 13, 2008
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Chris Henry
Leader: There are different gifts, but the same Spirit who gives them.
People: There are different ways of serving God, but it is the
same Lord who is served.
Leader: God works through different people in different ways, but it is the
same God who achieves his purpose through them all.
People: Each one is given a gift by the Spirit, to use it for the
common good.
All: Together we are the body of Christ. Let us worship God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 481 Praise the Lord, God’s Glories Show
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty God: in Jesus Christ you called us to be a servant people, but
we do not do what you command. We are often silent when we should
speak, and useless when we could be useful. We are lazy servants, timid
and heartless, who turn neighbors away from your love. Have mercy on
us, O God, and, though we do not deserve your care, forgive us, and free
us from sin; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 466)
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim; to spread
through all the earth abroad the honors of Thy name.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST

Father, lead me day by day, ever in Thine own sweet way. Teach me to be pure and true.
Show me what I ought to do. When in danger, make me brave, make me know that Thou
canst save. Keep me safe by Thy dear side. Let me in Thy love abide. When I’m tempted to
do wrong, make me steadfast, wise and strong; and when all alone I stand, shield me with
Thy mighty hand. May I do the good I know, serving gladly here below. Then at last go home
to Thee, evermore Thine own to be.
