TO WORSHIP THE LORD OUR GOD

*Responsive Call to Worship(Isaiah 61:1-3) Liturgist: Peg Speidel In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne,High and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple.Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings:With two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.And one called to another and said:Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of God’s glory!

Joining voices, we shall sing the praises of our Triune God.

*Hymn No. 1 Holy, Holy, Holy NICAEA Call to Confession Liturgist: Peg Speidel If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

But, if we confess our sins, Jesus is faithful to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let us confess our sins collectively and then personally.

Unison Prayer of Confession (Isaiah 6:4-5) Liturgist: Peg Speidel The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a person of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” We are people of unclean lips who serve a God of abundant grace. We confess our sins together before God and one another. Holy God, you call us to lives of service. Forgive us when we do not respond in faith. Forgive us of our action and inaction and lead us to be your faithful disciples.

Silence for Personal Confession Assurance of Pardon (Isaiah 6:6) Liturgist: Peg Speidel

Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed, and your sin is blotted out. Friends hear the Good News and believe it: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God!

Affirmation of Faith Nicene Creed PC (USA) Book of ConfessionsWe believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

*Hymn No. 595 Holy, Holy, Holy SANCTUS
