Call to Worship: Psalm 29:1-2, 10-11

Hymn: O Worship the King

Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Forgiveness:

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.

Receiving New Members: Membership Covenant

Having been brought by divine grace to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and to submit to His Lordship over our lives and having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God and His people, most joyfully enter into covenant with one another in this local church.

We will work and pray for the unity of this local church through walking together in brotherly love, edifying, admonishing, nurturing, and caring for one another, speaking truth in love, esteeming others above ourselves, and praying for one another.  Further, we will seek to avoid those sins that greatly hinder the unity of the church such as gossip, bitterness, anger, and pride, and we will never act as a stumbling block to our weaker brethren.

We will work together to sustain the ministry of the church through participation in corporate meetings, observing the ordinances, practicing church discipline, promoting sound doctrine, and giving cheerfully of our finances.  Further, we will submit to, and pray for those who lead us, even as they submit to Christ.

We will seek to be men and women who conform our lives to Christ, husbands and wives that pursue God-honoring marriages, grandparents and parents that educate our children in the Holy Scriptures, and sons and daughters that honor and serve our parents.

By God’s grace, we will be a church that advances the gospel of Jesus Christ to the praise of His glory!
