CALL TO WORSHIP

God so loved the world that

God gave His only Son, that

whoever believes in Him

should not perish but have

eternal life. Let us worship

our God!

Prayer of Invocation/Confession

Holy Lord, we have gathered here to

worship as the family of God. Fill

our hearts to overflowing with the

power of Your Holy Spirit. We

desire to be renewed and refreshed

and empowered to walk in Your

light. Too many times we come to

this place without much thought of

what it means to really be a part of

the family of God. Sometimes all we

do is go through the motions of

worship. Forgive us and enable us to

recommit ourselves so that we

might be faithful to Your call on our

lives. Grant us compassion,

wisdom, and courage, as we walk in

Your will. In the Name of Jesus,

please hear our prayer. Amen.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES

We will acknowledge wedding

anniversaries on the First Sunday of

each month. Both the husband and

the wife must be members of New

Prospect. Please call the church

office with your information.

ENTER HIS GATES WITH PRAISE PAGE 3

Offertory Prayer

O Lord, our God, we expect so much from You, and we are not

disappointed. May we respond in our stewardship, as You have taught us

how to give, and then be a blessing to others. Bless our tithes, sacrificial

gifts and mission offerings that we give today. May both the gift and giver

be used for Your glory. Multiply what we bring in ways that declare Your

glory! We desire to live faithfully and bear much fruit. Amen.

“Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the

work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in

vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
