WELCOME, ANNOUNCEMENT& INVOCATION
Prayers of Confession & Repentance
Leader - How is it possible for us to go right into the presence of God? We come not halfheartedly or with improper motives or pretense, but with pure, individual, and sincere worship.
People -
And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.
By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.
Hebrews 10:19-20 (NLT2)
Leader - Christians can approach God boldly, free from our "guilty consciences" and in full assurance because of the work of Jesus Christ.
People - And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:21-22 (NLT2)
Leader - We have significant privileges associated with our new life in Christ:
People - Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. Hebrews 10:23-24 (NLT2)
Leader - We have personal access to God through Christ and can draw near to him without an elaborate system ; we may grow in faith, overcome doubts and questions, and deepen our relationship with God ; we may enjoy motivation from one another; we may worship together
People - And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25 (NLT2)

Oh Lord
Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away.
To lead on where joys shall never end:
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
