Welcome and Announcements
Call to Worship 733 Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Invocation and 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
Hymn of Praise 97 We Praise You, O God, Our Redeemer, Creator
Confession of Sin
O Almighty and most merciful Father;
we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much the evil intentions
and desires of our own hearts.
We have broken your holy laws.
We have left undone the things that we ought to have done;
and we have done the things that we ought not to have done; and there is no spiritual soundness in us.
Have mercy on us, pitiful sinners, O Lord.
Spare those who confess their faults.
Restore those who truly repent,
even as you have promised through Jesus Christ our Lord.
And grant, merciful Father, for his sake,
that we may live from this time forth
a godly, righteous, and holy life,
to the glory of your holy name.
Amen.
