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
P: Throughout all our lives, God has blessed us with love
and hope.
L: Praise be to God who provides for us.
P: May our hearts be truly grateful, and may we show our
gratitude by the ways in which we live and care for others.
Hymn
793. We Gather Together
Silent Prayer of
Confession
Sung Response
“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us.
Lord have mercy upon us.”
Assurance of
Pardon
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.

The Lord’s Prayer

Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the
power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

you.
