WELCOME TO WORSHIP
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Paul’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray that your soul will be strengthened by the good news of God’s forgiveness through Jesus.
PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR TODAY’S WORSHIP
Gracious Lord, you know that I am born in sin because of what Adam and Eve did. Though I have a sinful nature and have deserved nothing from you since my conception, you planned out my salvation and have called me to your grace in Christ. Reassure me tonight that your grace is more powerful than the sin within me, and strengthen me in your love that I can battle my sinful nature out of love for you. In my Savior I pray. Amen.
