CELEBRATION OF WORSHIP
Peachtree is a community of Jesus followers inviting people to love God in heart, mind, soul, and strength.
ASSEMBLE IN GOD’S NAME Prelude Congregational Introit * Christ is Made the Sure Foundation Prayer of Adoration*
GIVE PRAISE TO GOD Hymn of Praise** Morning Has Broken #464 Lighting of the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Merciful God, in sending your son you made it possible for us to live with the hope of heaven. By faith in him we receive eternal life and because he was raised from the dead we also live with resurrection hope. We confess that talk of heaven is often used as an escape from the realities that surround us. For this reason we rarely talk of heaven at all. Forgive our stunted vision of what you have promised to us. Remind us that in your presence there is fullness of joy and pleasures forever at your right hand. We look to our future with confident hope only because of your grace freely given to us in Jesus. Restore us by that grace as we offer our silent prayers of confession… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing #379 (v. 3)
LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD Anthem Ride On, King Jesus arr. Hal Johnson Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
