PSPC Worship Service

Oh Lord, how great are your works! How wonderful are your ways! You know us, and love us, and walk beside us when the way is troubled; your presence brings solace and your grace brings joy. You make life complete, and take the sting from death. Too often, O God, we forget there are those who do not know you, who live without your hope and care. So many live in pain and emptiness, yet we fail to see or help. To often we turn away. Be with us, we pray, and give voice to our faith, that others may live in your light. Forgive our forgetting, that we might be your servants in a broken world, a source of healing in an hour of need. We ask in Christ’s name, Amen.

Hear the good news! Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know that you are forgiven, and be at peace. Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

God, source of all light, by your Word you give light to the soul. Pour out upon us the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that, through the Scriptures, our hearts and minds may be opened to know your will in our lives. Amen.

We believe we are here in Palm Springs to “proclaim the Good News of God by reaching out to others and inviting them into a new relationship with Jesus Christ. We commit ourselves, therefore, to be a center for spiritual growth and friendship, where the teachings of Jesus Christ are faithfully received and God’s grace is celebrated joyfully with Christian friends.” This we affirm in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
