 Prelude

Time of Silence
“In this quiet moment, Jesus speak to me. Fill my heart with Thy love
divine, Your power let me see.”

Call to Worship
L: O sing to the Lord a new song!
P: Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
L: Sing, and give praise to God’s name!
P: Tell the glad news of salvation from day to day!

Hymn 210 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty


Silent Prayer of Confession

Sung Response & Assurance of Pardon
“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”

Glory to the Father
“Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

An Affirmation of Faith (unison)
This is the good news which we received, in which we stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen. 

Sharing of Joys and Concerns

For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

we too should love one another.

P:   (to each other) The Peace of Christ be with you.

May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever; Grant you peace, perfect peace, courage in every endeavor. Lift your eyes and see his face, and his love forever. May the Lord, risen Lord, bless and keep you forever.
