ORDER OF WORSHIP
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Light A Candle: To the right of the stage is a table where you can light a candle and pray. The smoke rising is a symbolic representation of your prayer ascending to the heavens, into the very throne room of God. This access was made possible through Jesus, the Light of the world.
Write A Note: Next to the candles we have note cards and a box to put them in. Some may choose to light a candle and write their prayer on a note. Others may choose to pass on the candles and submit a prayer. In both cases, our staff will pray for your requests during the week.
Come to the Altar: You may have noticed the green pads surrounding the base of the stage. This is where you can come forward to be prayed for, to pray for someone, to respond to a call to repentance or salvation, or a number of other responses. The altar is always open.
While you don’t need to leave your seat to pray or respond to God’s prompting, many find it helpful to perform some sort of outward action to go along with God’s inward work, and to do so with others.

- COMMUNITY CONFESSION:
Holy Father, we confess that we may approach you with our mouths and our lips, when our hearts are not in worship. We confess that we offer to you that which costs us little. Though you are a great King, we often bring to you the leftovers of our time, energy, gifts, and worship. We have neglected your commands when it is inconvenient for us to keep them. We have ignored your laws when it causes us to lose our ease. We have disregarded our neighbors' needs, and wondered aloud why other people do not meet our needs. O Father, have mercy on us! Forgive us of our many debts! Cleanse us and give us the mind and heart of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many. In His name, and for His sake, we come to you. Amen. - ASSURANCE OF PARDON (1 Peter 1:3-4)
