The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Let us worship God!
O God beyond all praising, we worship you todayand sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay;for we can only wonder at every gift you send,at blessings without number and mercies without end:we lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word,we honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.

The Confession of Faith ......................................................................Apostles’ Creed†
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.

The Assurance of Pardoning Grace ...................................... from Zephaniah 3:14-17
Sing, O Daughter of Zion: shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,O Daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away your punishment,The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save.He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
O God, have mercy on us according to your steadfast love and your abundant mercy. Father, blot out our transgressions! We know our sin only too well. It is painful to us and offensive to you. We would be holy, but sin keeps getting in our way. We do not always trust you. We are often afraid that if we follow your ways we will miss something. As a result we have rebelled against your wisdom and have gotten into trouble. We have rejected your fatherly guidance and have gotten lost altogether. Therefore we are embarrassed. Have mercy on us, O God, for we are sinners, captives to sin, enslaved by sin. Forgive us.
