Meditation Before Worship
“I am the good shepherd.
I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father.
And I lay down my life for the sheep.”
John 10:14-15

Greetings and Announcements

Call to Worship
Day by day, God leads us:
to lush pastures of peace, to deep pools of grace.
Day by day, Jesus calls us:
to pour out our love, to anoint all with hope.
Day by day, the Holy Spirit shows us:
the community we are becoming; the family of faith that we are!
Arise Ranchos! Join with each other in worship of Almighty God!
Hymn
"Nuestra Esperanza Y Protección"
Confession and Pardon
Day by day God leads us to the pastures of salvation,
yet moment by moment we continue down our own path to sin.
In prayer, draw near to the One who would restore us to wholeness.
Join me as we confess together, saying….
We know all too well, Lord, the path to foolishness.
We walk it way too often! We act
as though you are a Sunday-only event.
We forget to live as a reflection of you.
Forgive our narrow and selfish ways.
Awaken us from faint-heartedness.
May we follow our Lord to the places where we might serve Him, forever.
Amen.
