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:
O Holy One, we call to you and name you as eternal, ever–present, and boundless in love. Yet there are times, O God, when we fail to recognize you in the dailyness of our lives. Sometimes shame clenches tightly around our hearts, and we hide our true feelings. Sometimes fear makes us small, and we miss the chance to speak from our strength. Sometimes doubt invades our hopefulness, and we degrade our own wisdom. Have mercy upon us, forgive us for we often do not know what we do. Remove our guilt and cover our shame O merciful and gracious Savior. - ASSURANCE OF PARDON (1 Peter 1:3-4)

On Saturday September 19th, we have an opportunity to roll up our sleeves and serve our Westside community. Breakfast and worship will begin at 7:30 AM at Grace Long Beach, located at 3601 Linden Ave., then we will make our way to the cleanup site. If you’re unable to join us for breakfast and worship, no worries! You’re still welcome to meet us at 9:00 AM at Westside Christian Church, located at 1595 W. Willow Street, where the cleanup project will begin. For additional information and helpful details about the day, please click HERE and complete the registration process. We’re grateful for this special opportunity to come together, serve our community, and make a difference. We look forward to serving alongside you! - MOMS CONNECT
All moms of littles (or moms-to-be!) are welcome to join us for coffee and fellowship on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 at the Ridder home to read the Bible together and chat about loving others and loving our children well. Coffee and babysitting is provided! See Laura or Danae with questions. - TITHES AND OFFERINGS
