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:
Our Father, forgive our sins. Forgive the sins that we remember, and the sins we have forgotten. Forgive our many failures in the face of temptation, and those times when we have been stubborn in the face of correction. Forgive the times we have been proud of our own achievements and those when we have failed to boast in your works. Forgive the harsh judgments we have made of others, and the leniency we have shown to ourselves. Forgive the lies we have told to others, and the truths we have avoided. Forgive us the pain we have caused others and the indulgence we have shown ourselves. Lord God, have mercy on us and make us whole. In Jesus Christ, our Savior’s name, Amen. - ASSURANCE OF PARDON (1 John 5:11-13)

- HEALTHY SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
Please join us for our Healthy Systems Workshop, led by Melody Johnson from our denomination’s regional conference. Whether we’re talking about a family, a business, or a church, systems are more or less healthy. Becoming healthier requires improved communication, lower collective anxiety, and a shift in perspective from me to us. These kinds of changes don’t happen overnight, but they can happen one step at a time. We invite you to take that first step with us!
The workshop will take place Sunday, November 15, 2026, 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM, in the cafeteria, directly following service. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Click HERE to RSVP by Wednesday, November 11, so that we can best plan for food and childcare needs. Thank you! - TITHES AND OFFERINGS
You may give online HERE or place your offering in the wooden box to the right of the stage.
