Leader: For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures.
People: That he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
Leader: Because of Christ’s death and resurrection, let us magnify the Lord through the Holy Spirit.
All: Let us exalt God’s name together.
*HYMN #90 (vv. 1, 2 & 4) “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Our Father, forgive us for thinking small thoughts of you and for ignoring your immensity and greatness. Lord Jesus, forgive us when we forget that you rule the nations and our humble lives. Holy Spirit, we offend you in diminishing your power and squandering your gifts. We confess that we are slow to see your glory, O triune God. Have mercy upon us, in Jesus’ name. Give us the right vision of you, your holiness, your love, and your blessed creation. Amen.
SILENT PRAYERS
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Hear the Good News! “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,” (Titus 3:4-6). Know that by grace through faith, you are forgiven in Jesus Christ.

PRAYER PERSON OF THE WEEK – JOYCE BAUGHMAN
I am a retired special education teacher, living in The Village at Calabash with my dog Abi. I have one son, Jon, who lives in Pittsboro NC (no grandchildren yet!). I moved to the beach 9 years ago, and after a few years of attending another church, was introduced to “beach church” by a neighbor. I fell in love with it! I am shy and do not easily meet new people, but being at the beach was a casual and easy way to get acquainted. I attended beach church for two years before I was brave enough to enter the sanctuary! This wonderful church family has been very welcoming and friendly from the start. I appreciate all the support, encouragement, and opportunities to serve and worship God with all of you. I have enjoyed being involved in Dorcas Circle, Bible study, small groups, and Navigators. I look forward to more opportunities to get involved in the life of this church. When I am not here, I am probably walking my dog or knitting/crocheting items to donate to local charities. Thank you all for your prayers!
Please pray for Joyce and Abi by sending her a card, email or calling her: 845 Bogie Ln Carolina Shores, NC 28467-2237; jonbsmom@gmail.com ; (919) 548-7323
