Call to Worship - Psalm 111:1-10
(view call to worship below)
Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them.
Full of splendor and majesty is His work, and His righteousness endures forever.
He has caused His wondrous works to be remembered.
The LORD is gracious and merciful.
He provides food for those who fear Him;
He remembers His covenant forever.
He has shown His people the power of His works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The works of His hands are faithful and just.
All His precepts are trustworthy.
They are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
He sent redemption to His people.
He has commanded His covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is His name!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
All those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!

Confession
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 10: 19-23
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places
by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He opened for us
through the curtain, that is, through His flesh,
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts
sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for He who promised is faithful.
Nothing but the Blood - (audio link)
(verse 1)
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(chorus)
Oh! precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow.
No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(verse 2)
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing, this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(verse 3)
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(verse 4)
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Praying for One Another
Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Let’s go to the Lord together in prayer:
- Pray for God’s peace to reign in our city.
- Thank the Lord that His plans are for our welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope because of Christ’s victory over sin and death.
- Pray for our city, our church family, and our own families that we would have a posture of humility before the Lord and that we would seek Him with all of our heart.
- Thank the Lord that He hears our prayers and is near to those who call upon Him.
- Continue to pray for the physical and financial needs of others in our church family.
- Continue to pray for God to show us, by His Spirit how we can best show the love of Christ to our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers during this time.
- Continue to pray for the health, physical, and financial needs of our missionary families.
- Continue to pray for Pastor Weyland, Jesse, and our elders as they make decisions on how to best lead and serve our congregation.
- Continue to pray that God would give wisdom and guidance to our national, state, and local government leaders as they make decisions on ways to best reopen our nation and economy.
Song of Assurance & Peace
It Is Well - (audio link)
(verse 1)
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll.
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."
(chorus)
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
(verse 2)
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
(verse 3)
My sin, O the bliss of this glorious thought,
My sin, not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(verse 4)
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend,
"Even so" it is well with my soul!
