*Call to Worship Psalm 100 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations
*Hymn No. 76 O Come, All Ye Faithful (vss. 1,3,4) Call to Confession I John 1:8-9 Prayer of Confession Let us confess our sins to almighty God. Let us pray. Have mercy upon us, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercies, blot out our transgressions. Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin. For we know our transgressions, and our sin is ever before us. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within us. Cast us not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation, and uphold us with a willing spirit. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (adapted from Psalm 51) Assurance of Pardon Colossians 1:10-14

Our church is scheduled to provide the food for the
International Student Lunch on January 19.
Many of you may be out of town or unavailable at that time.
Here are three ways you can help. 1. Prepare a casserole now and place it in the freezer at church. 2. Sign up for a casserole, salad, drinks or fruit. 3. Make a donation (checks made out to Bronco Campus Ministry-ISF) and we
will use the money to prepare the food we need. Contact: Sharon Vinstra 353-3174 or Fran De Young 375-5030
to let us know what you would like to do.
