WELCOME
Good morning First Baptist. We welcome you to worship this morning. Be sure to remember your brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the week as you pray for them, and as the Holy Spirit brings their faces to your mind. Be sure to also connect with them in the ways that are possible. And if you have any questions or would like to talk to someone, please don’t hesitate to contact the church through the church telephone and leave a message. (519-733-4144)

Call to Worship
We gather here in the presence of a Holy God and one another. We want to be inspired to take part in the work He’s doing. We want to rejoice at the invitation to be a part of your plan, to sit at your banquet table; to continue this journey to your side, and yes, we understand that we aren’t to leave anyone behind, and yes, we are here today because we are your people and yes, we will follow Jesus as our guide.

Prayer
Prayer of Confession:
Patient Lord, we know that you call us to service, but we often feel inadequate. We love to make excuses for not doing something or for doing something only half-heartedly. Remind us again of your loving and guiding presence. Forgive us when we stumble and falter. Turn us again to you, serving joyfully and confidently. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. AMEN.
Assurance of Forgiveness:
Beloved Ones, you are the salty people – those who bring flavour to living. Your spirit of love and confidence gives hope to others. Remember that the Lord is always with you. AMEN.

Benediction
May the God who created a world of diversity and vibrancy, Go with us as we embrace life in all its fullness. May the Son who teaches us to care for strangers and foreigners, Go with us as we try to be good neighbors in our communities. May the Spirit who breaks down our barriers and celebrates community, Go with us as we find the courage to create a place of welcome for all.
