Order of Worship = Structure for Evangelism?

The typical order of Worship on Sunday:

I. Entering the Presence of God
    A. Call to Worship
    B. Songs of Praise
    C. Prayer of Confession
    D. Assurance of Pardon
    E. Psalter Response
    F. Hymn of Praise
II. Hearing God's Word to us
    A. Old Testament Lesson
    B. Epistles Lesson
    C. Gospel Lesson
    D. Sermon
III. The People's Response
    A. Hymn of Response
    B. Confession of Faith
    C. Prayers of the People
    D. Offerings
    E. Closing Hymn
Doesn't evangelism use the same structure?
I. Call and Convict the person of their sins
II. Teach them the Grace of God and the Gift of Salvation
III. Hopefully their response to the Gospel of Grace positive and they are welcomed into the people of God.
