Welcome to Highland Park UMC
​Online Worship

February 28, 2021
First Sunday in Lent

Call to Worship  
Let us turn our minds from human things.
Our faith in Jesus saves us.
Let us set our minds on divine things.
Our faith in Jesus saves us.
We will deny ourselves and take up our cross.
Our faith in Jesus saves us.
We will lose all; that we may gain all.
Our faith in Jesus saves us.

​Opening Song 
Every Move I Make I Make In You
​David Crowder Band

Children's Sermon with Mrs. Amanda

Today's Message

Rev. Amanda Hesbach

Mark 8:31-38
 

Prayer of Confession and Announcement of Pardon

Merciful God,we confess that our sin turns us from you again and again.
We are a sinful generation longing for your mercy.
We want not only to save our lives, but to gain the whole world as well.
We are too often ashamed to show our faith to the world around us.
Have mercy on us. Amen.

 
(Silent prayers of personal confession)
 Words of Assurance (Romans 4)If we rely upon the law of God, we are beyond hope.
But in God’s mercy we are declared righteous
​through our faith in Jesus, who died for our sins.

Closing Hymn
Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone?
Thomas Shepherd

​BENEDICTIONGo in God’s grace.
May peace reign in your hearts forever!
We go to follow Christ.
