First Presbyterian Church

Hugo, Oklahoma

July 26, 2009

 

First Presbyterian Church, Hugo, is a small church with a large heart.

We exist to worship and glorify God, to develop and encourage disciples, to welcome all of God’s children, to be faithful stewards of all God’s gifts, and to exhibit the love and grace of God in the church and in the world.

* Call to Confession

* Prayer of Confession:  (Unison)

You call us to fullness of life, gracious God, through Christ who emptied self for our sakes. We are just empty from trying to fill ourselves. We have overextended more than our credit. We spend on ourselves, until we are exhausted. However full of good thoughts we are, we are often casually thoughtless of others. We are full of marvelous talk about faith, hope and love, but wonder, where’s the belief?

* Silent Prayer of Confession and Personal Reflection

* Assurance of Pardon:

Leader: God cancels the burden of our sin.

People: In the cross of Christ, God reaches across the distance that separates us from God and from one another.

Unison: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and are being brought to fullness of life.
