ORDER OF SERVICE

• CALL TO WORSHIP: Come, all who are thirsty says Jesus, our Lord. Come, all who are weak, taste the living water that I shall give. Dip your hands in the stream, refresh body and soul, drink from it, depend on it, for this water will never run dry. Come, all who are thirsty. Jesus invites you to the river today. Fountains of living water are flowing, flowing from Jesus. Come into the stream!
  
  
• SONG OF ADORATION: Helen Rubio & Worship Team
  
  
• PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Please sit or kneel and pray aloud the words that are printed here.
  All: Merciful Lord, we confess that with us there is an abundance of sin, but in you there is the fullness of righteousness and abundance of mercy. We are spiritually poor, but you are rich and in Jesus Christ came to be merciful to the poor. Strengthen our faith and trust in you. We are empty vessels that need to be filled; fill us. We are weak in faith; strengthen us. We are cold in love; warm us, and make our hearts fervent for you that our love may go out to one another and to our neighbors. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
  
  
• ASSURANCE OF PARDON
  Leader:  If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.  As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”  for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
