THE CELEBRATION OF WORSHIP† THE GATHERING
SONG..............................................................................(11:00
A.M.) I Waited for the Lord
I waited for the Lord on high I waited and He heard my cry
He pulled me out of my despair, He showed me where to walkFrom
fear into security, from quicksand to a rock
I'll sing to let the people know that I have been restoredAnd
they will kneel and understand to return and trust in the Lord
There's a new song in my heart to sing A new song praises to my
King

† THE PRAYER OF ADORATION
† THE CONFESSION OF FAITH..........................Heidelberg
Catechism-Lord’s Day 720. Are all men then saved by Christ as they
perished in Adam?No, only those who by true faith are ingrafted
into Him and receive all His benefits.
21. What is true faith?True faith is not only a certain
knowledge whereby I hold for truth all that God has revealed to us
in His Word; but also a hearty trust, which the Holy Spirit works
in me by the Gospel, that not only to others, but to me also,
forgiveness of sins, everlasting righteousness and salvation are
freely given by God, merely of grace, only for the sake of Christ’s
merits.
22. What then is necessary for a Christian to believe?All that
is promised us in the Gospel, which the articles of our catholic,
undoubted Christian faith teach us in sum.
23. What are these articles?I believe in God the Father,
almighty, maker of heaven and Earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord; who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended
into hell; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into
heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty, from
thence He shall 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.
