Make My Joy Complete

INVITATION TO REPENTANCE Dr. Steve Pulliam


Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,
who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another.
Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND PARDON
God of love and justice, we long for peace within and peace without. We long for
harmony in our familes, for serenity in the midst of struggle. We long for the day
when our homes will be a dwelling place for your love. Yet we confess that we are
often anxious, we do not trust each other, and we harbor violence. We are not
willing to take the risks and make the sacrifices that love requires. Look upon us
with kindness and grace. Rule in our homes and in all the world; show us how to
walk joyfully in your paths, through the mercy of our Savior. Amen.

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.
2. Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

Scott Montgomery, organ

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT
Central Students have been eager to be welcomed back to worship. One of the strongest parts of the
CSM community is the student worship band. Earlier this month they put on a drive-in worship that
focused on the transforming love of Christ. It was a powerful time for students, parents, and people
from all across Central to experience the Holy Spirit in the parking lot. With the support of Central
members, these students are able to develop their musical abilities and grow in their calling to
ministry through worship.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
We are so glad that you have chosen to be with us this morning. We are mindful during this pandemic
just how special worshiping together is. In our effort to keep everyone as safe as possible, we are
asking that everyone adhere to the following directives while in the sanctuary.
1. Masks must be worn over your nose and mouth at all times.
2. Everyone is encouraged to partipate fully in the worship service, including the singing of the
hymns and responses, and the spoken liturgy. Masks must be on.
3. Please refrain from physical contact with others, outside of your family groups.
No handshaking, embracing, or touching.
4. Please remain seated and enjoy the closing voluntary. An usher will indicate when your row
may depart afterwards. You will leave via the window aisles, and exit through the north
vestibule doors.
5. We ask that you take everything with you when you leave.
