Welcome!

In my work with young adults over the years, I have had many conversations about what God

wants them to do with their life. This is a question that is relevant to not just young adults!

What does God want us to do with our life?

Today we will ask that question as we look at the story of when Jesus calls his disciple Simon by

his nickname, Peter. We will see that Jesus offers Peter a much bigger purpose for his life than

he previously thought he had. I believe this story has much to say about the life God desires for

each of us as we continue our journey from Sinners to Saints: Becoming Who God Sees.

GIVE PRAISE TO GOD’S GLORY

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of mercy, we confess that, like Simon Peter and the disciples,

we set our minds not on divine things but on human things. Doubting your loving care,

we grab for more than we need. Doubting your loving purposes,

we shrink from living as your followers.

Doubting your loving plan, we become stumbling blocks in your creation.

Forgive us that we may gain new life in you and continue to work to grow your church,

as you have commanded us.

Now, hear me, as in silence I confess to you my personal sins ...

SILENT PERSONAL CONFESSION

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

Children’s Corner

It’s Game Time! During Lent, the

sermons will be about people who had big

life changes because of God; they even had their names

changed! This week our story is about

Peter. Here’s how the game will work: there is a question below and Pastor Jeff will mention the answer at some point in his

sermon. Listen closely and if you can

answer it correctly, bring the answer to

Pastor Bill at the end of the service

for a treat!

What does Caiaphas mean?

__________

The words “Do this in remembrance of me” are carved into

the front of our Communion table.

This helps us remember that Jesus

instructed us to celebrate this meal of bread and cup

together, as he did with his disciples.

We invite you to join in the fellowship of RPC by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or by renewing your commitment to

Christ in a new church home. On this Sunday, we gather for a family-friendly breakfast in Alderman Hall and then transition into the official

meeting of the Session to welcome new members. New members may join by Profession of Faith, Reaffirmation of Faith, or Transfer of

Letter. Advance reservations are requested. Contact Stephanie Jacobs, Director of New Member Connections, 770-649-4522.
