PRELUDE – “Oh God” by Citizens
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP –
“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him.” – Psalm 67

CONFESSION OF SIN –
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against You
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved You with our whole heart;
we have not love our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in Your will,
and walk in Your ways,
to the glory of Your Name. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON –
May God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” make his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus who has saved us from all our sin.
Amen.

Married or Soon-to-be-Married Couples at Immanuel:
Family Life is doing a one day event on Saturday, August 2nd, at the Allstate Arena called I Still Do. Andrea and I went to a Family Life Weekend to Remember Conference many years ago and though some aspects of these types of things can be cheesy, overall we found it was a really helpful time. We are planning to go to this and wanted to invite along couples from church. It would be great to hang out together while thinking about our marriages.
Let me know if you’re interested. If we get 5 couples we can get a group rate – about $40 for the day and a lunch!
For the Sake of the Name,
Nathan
