Prayer of Adoration

GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD_________________

*Hymn of Praise #87 “Come, Christians Join to Sing” Deacons will collect prayer requests

*Prayer of Confession

Heavenly Father, our lives and all our ways are like an

open book before you. There is nothing we can hide from you

and with humility we recall those things in which we have come

short of the standard set for us by Christ our Lord. The spirit of

true charity motivates us only fitfully; concern for ourselves

crowds out the compassion we should feel for others. Have

mercy on us, forgive all our sins, strengthen us in goodness, and

bring us to eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.

*Assurance of God’s Forgiveness

*Congregational Response Hymn #72 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear

presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope

for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! Great is

Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new

mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—Great is

Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Time with the Children

Anthem

Joys and Concerns

Prayers of the People and the Lord’s Prayer …Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom

come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our

daily bread; and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; and

lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the

kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Offering our Gifts to God

Offertory

*Doxology Hymn # 34

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

Praise him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host:

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

A Renewal of Our Mission

Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of

evil that rebel against God?

I renounce them!

Do you renounce all sinful desires that draw you from

the love of God?

I renounce them!

Do you turn to Jesus Christ?

Yes! I trust in him as my Lord and Savior.

Do you intend to be Christ’s faithful disciple, trusting

his promises, obeying his Word, honoring his church,

and showing his love, as long as you live?

Yes! God helping me.

And will you join in the mission of the people of God

at Ken Mawr Church to declare God’s grace and

demonstrate God’s love, as we are directed by God’s

word?

By God’s grace I will.

One of the most essential questions

in the Christian faith is, “Who do

you say I am?” Jesus asked his

disciples this question at Caesarea

Philippi in Matthew 16:15. This year

in the season of Lent I have chosen

a sermon series that aims to help

us all find an answer to this

important question. The God We

Can Know is a seven week study

written by Methodist pastor, Rob

Fuquay. The series is designed for

the entire congregation to explore

the “I Am” sayings of Jesus found

the Gospel of John.

One by one, Jesus’ statements grab our imagination, reveal more

about his identity and purpose, and connect us to the God of

Moses, who spoke the first “I Am.” These significant yet ordinary

images (bread, light, shepherd, vine, and more) give us insightful

ways to experience Jesus and point us to a God who wants to be

known.

Filmed on location in the Holy Land, an accompanying DVD allows

us to travel with Rob Fuquay and actually see the places where

Jesus stood when he disclosed his true identity, and in what

context he spoke each “I Am.” This series promises to provide a

meaningful and transforming look at the person of Jesus, our

Savior and Lord.

You are also invited to discuss the “I Am” sayings with us on

Sunday morning in one of our adult groups during the Sunday

School hour (9:45-10:45am). We would love to have you join us.

Welcome to Ken Mawr Church. January 28th marks the 30th anniversary of

the space shuttle Challenger disaster. Just a minute into the sky, the failure

of a small O-ring sparked a series of events that resulted in the spacecraft

breaking apart in midair. This simple circle of rubber turned out to be as

important as the ultra-sophisticated, state-of-the-art computer guidance

system. Paul says that every follower of Jesus has a spiritual gift. As a

follower of Christ it is guaranteed that we have one. Let’s be on the lookout

for O-ring people – people with essential gifts that are hard to see. Honor

them and respect them. -Pastor Karl
