We are here in church by choice instead of in prison by conviction. We give to worthy projects and lend a hand to our neighbors. We are upstanding citizens, and we truly desire a world at peace. But upon closer scrutiny we can see many instances and attitudes that betray your grace and break your holy law. Temptations may not be the same for each of us, but all of us have fallen to sin under one or more of your commandments. Search our hearts today, show us our faults that offend, and renew us with a right spirit we pray…in Jesus’ name. Assurance of Pardon Reading of 1 Peter 3:18-22 Rosa Robinson L: Friends, hear and believe the good news of the gospel. P: In Jesus Christ we are, I am, forgiven. Please join us in thanking accompanist Becky Caplan in the narthex immediately following today’s worship experience for almost five years of service to this church. The Fellowship hour on this, her last day with us, is in her honor. Then please consider participating in the adult Bible Study class in the Conference Room at 11:00 a.m., or even staying for the contemporary service at that same time.
