THE CALL TO CONFESSION

THE CORPORATE PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Spoken in Unison) .................................................. Ryan Braswell

Merciful God, you pardon all that truly repent and turn to you. We humbly confess our sins and ask Your mercy. We have been hard-hearted and tight-fisted toward our neighbors in need. We have not brought the homeless into our houses. We have not fed the hungry, clothed the naked and visited the captive. We have not moved to change the structures that bind and oppress. Have mercy on us, O God, in your loving-kindness. Forgive us our sins and help us to live in your light. May we turn our festivals into celebrations of your justice; May we share our soup and bread with open hearts and hands; May our light break forth and our healing spring up quickly; All to Your glory, our Rock and Redeemer. Amen.

♦THE CALL TO WORSHIP (Spoken Responsively) .................................................................. Cailin Lewis

ONE: What is the fast that our God chooses? ALL: To loose the bonds of injustice, to bring the homeless poor into our houses, to cover the naked, to let the oppressed go free, and to share our bread with the hungry. ONE: To proclaim release for prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind. ALL: When you do these things, then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, and the Glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. (Isaiah 58: 6-8)

ONE: Praise the Lord! ALL: The Lord's name be praised!

♦THE OPENING PRAYER ....................................................................................................... Cailin Lewis

♦THE HYMN OF PRAISE: “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)” ....................................... BLESS THE LORD

(Chorus) Bless the Lord, O my soul, oh my soul; Worship His Holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul;

I'll worship Your Holy name.

The sun comes up; It's a new day dawning. It's time to sing Your song again.

Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes. (Repeat Chorus)

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger. Your name is great and Your heart is kind.

For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing; Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. (Repeat Chorus)

And on that day, when my strength is failing, The end draws near and my time has come; Still, my soul will sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years and then forevermore. (Repeat Chorus)

Sing like never before, O my soul; I'll worship Your Holy name.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Outer Banks Presbyterian Church. Our Church exists to worship God in Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament; to join others to know the joy of God’s forgiveness in Jesus Christ; to grow under the Lordship of Christ and to serve Christ’s world in His name. We invite you to share with us our trust in Jesus Christ and to join us as we strive to:

Grow and strengthen our FAITH,

Love and support our FAMILY,

Reach out to our FRIENDS in need.

We encourage you to read “Sue’s Story,” the inspiration behind these goals in its entirety, on our website, on a brochure in the Gathering Space or on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall. We hope you will be inspired as we have been.

At OBPC, we recognize all our visitors as God’s children, united as brothers and sisters in Christ. We hope our service inspires you and strengthens your faith. We hope you will join us again in celebration and worship to God. If you are interested in becoming a member or would like to know more about our church and our programs, please contact us!

Our church believes providing worship for visitors is a vital part of our mission. Our building was planned to accommodate the many visitors who come to this vacation community. This places an additional financial challenge on our resident membership. We need and welcome financial support from our visitors.
