Welcome and Announcements Josh Medicinebird

Call to Worship (based on Psalm 62) Josh Medicinebird

One: From God comes my salvation.

All: For God alone my soul waits in silence.

One: God alone is my roc and my salvation.

All: God is my fortress; I shall never be shaken.

One: Come, and let us worship God.

Hymn #415 “Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy”

Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Pardon

Forgiving God, we repent of all the ways we turn from you. You

call, but we do not listen; you show us the path, but we prefer our

own way. Forgive us, heal us, and lead us back to you, that we

might show mercy to others. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The Peace

PROCLAIM GOD’S WORD

Prayer for Illumination Josh Medicinebird Speak to us your word, O God that we may hear Jesus’ call to be his

disciples. Amen.

Sermon “Who? Me?”

Hymn #721 “Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore”

Affirmation of Faith

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and

earth,

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived

by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius

Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the

third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from

thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the

communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of

the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

GIVE THANKS TO GOD

Offering Those joining in worship “in-person” were invited to participate in offering

their tithes and gifts as they entered the sanctuary. For those joining in

worship “at home” we invite you to offer your lives to the service of Christ,

during this time. If you wish to give a tithe or other financial gift, you may

do so by sending a check to the church office (801 Leavenworth St.,

Manhattan, KS 66502) or by visiting our church website

Ways to Serve and Give

We need your help to continue to provide BREAKFAST BAGS to

the community! In an effort to continue providing our community with

a weekly breakfast which are handed out every Tuesday night with the

community dinner. Initially we prepared 50 bags per week. As the need

has increased, we are currently preparing 70 bags per week. Our

Community Breakfast volunteers have been very gracious in helping

provide food. But with this new demand we need your help in

providing nonperishable breakfast foods. Following is a list of the items

we are in constant need of:

Granola bars, Pop Tarts, Fruit Cups, Juice Cups, Instant

Oatmeal packets, large sized brown lunch bags, plastic spoons,

napkins

You can drop off food to the office anytime Monday-Friday 8:30

a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
