WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRELUDE

CALL TO WORSHIP

*AFFIRMATION OF PRAISE (#164, PAGE 3 OF THIS BULLETIN) ...... “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing”

*COLLECTIVE CONFESSION

Most merciful Father, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed -

especially in our lack of joy over you, in the countless ways we do not treasure you as we ought. We

have not loved you with our whole hearts. We have also failed to love our neighbors as ourselves.

We are broken over these sins and we humbly repent. For the sake of your only-begotten Son, Jesus

Christ, have mercy upon us and forgive us. Dear Father, cause us to walk in your ways and to delight

in you as children of the living God.

*ASSURANCE OF PARDON Psalm 103:10-13

To all who confess themselves to be sinners, humbling themselves before God and believing in the

Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation, I declare this sure promise:

He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as

the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east

is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion

on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Apostles’ Creed

Unison:

I believe in God the Father Almighty

Maker of heaven and earth;

I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended into hell.

The third day He rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.
