Call to Confession Prayer of ConfessionHoly God, we gather as Your Body to confess our sin before You. We have sinned in thought, word, and deed. We question if You are present. We wonder if You even hear our prayers for healing and restoration and wholeness. Forgive us. We need You in every moment, even in the times we’re giving YOU advice. Remove that temptation from us. Let us turn back to You, follow You, trust You. Hear our prayers….

~Silence for personal confession~Before we call, You answer; while we are yet speaking, You hear. O God, You alone deserve praise and honor. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;5 a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to throw away;7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;8 a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.

God is on the move, and taking us along! Hank Belusa

Call to OfferingThis would have been five-cents-a-meal Sunday. Beth-El’s list of needs is long right now for the Food Pantry. Our donations are still needed, more so right now than ever before.

We now offer on-line giving on our website: www.standrewnewtampa.org. Press the “Giving” button on the far right on the menu and it’ll take you to the Giving Page. If you’ve ever ordered anything on-line, this should be a breeze. You can ask Bob Keith or Laurie Palmer anything should you have any questions.

The Invitation to the TableGreat Prayer of Thanksgiving and The Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
