Prelude
Welcome and Announcements Rev. George Haugen
Hymn #526 “Let Us Talents and Tongue Employ”

Prayer of Confession Rev. George Haugen

Holy Lord God, we come before you this morning recognizing our need for Jesus our Savior. We
confess that we have wasted opportunities that you have given us. We have tried to fill our empty
feelings with things that don’t satisfy, instead of turning to you to find wholeness. We have not put
you first in our lives, and we have raised up idols. Be merciful to us, and forgive us O God. Jesus is our
life. Help us to seek him first, and live for your glory. (Please continue in silent confession) In Jesus’
name we pray. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon Rev. George Haugen

Leader: Blessed be the Lord God. He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and
blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ.
People: God freely bestowed on us in Jesus Christ his glorious grace. We have redemption through the blood
of Jesus. Our sins are forgiven! Praise the Lord! Amen.
