Hymn Lift
Every Voice and Sing
Lift every voice and sing, 'til
earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on 'til victory is won
Now God of our weary years, God
of our silent tears
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on our way
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Sing a song full of
the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on 'til victory is won
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on 'til victory is won
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
Prayers of the People
The Lord’s Prayer
"Our 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.”
