What are the initial feelings you have when you hear the word Evangelism? Are they negative or positive?

Evangelism is & the good news of God’s love with others.

What are the two things Moses veil represents?

1.

2.

Which statistic about Church decline was most shocking?

How have you encountered God in a profound and transformative way?

Do you feel you veil or mask yourself around others?

Prayer of Confession

Loving and faithful God, You save and sustain us. What marvelous good news You give us through Jesus! Yet we are oblivious to opportunities to share Your grace and love with others. Forgive us for our reluctance, and open our eyes to see that our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors need Jesus. Then give us the courage and the opportunity to tell them about You and to trust You for the results. In Christ’s Name we pray. Amen.

Doxology

Prayer of Thanksgiving and the Lord’s Prayer

Affirmation of Faith - The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
