 *CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the
stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
*OPENING HYMN: (#98) Now Thank We All Our God
PRAYER OF ADORATION AND INVOCATION
*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 and ever. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI (#735)
THE LAW OF GOD – The Second Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon Romans 1 and Romans 5]
Our great and everlasting God, Whose eternal power and divine nature have
been seen through the things You have made; we acknowledge that we are
without excuse. For although we have known You, we have not honored
you as God nor given you thanks, but we have become futile in our thinking;
and our senseless minds have been darkened. Claiming to be wise, we have
become fools. We have been filled with every kind of wickedness, evil,
covetousness, and malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and
craftiness, we are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty,
boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, foolish, faithless,
heartless, ruthless. Yet we do also heartily acknowledge, that when we
were weak, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. We most joyfully
confess that You have proven your love for us in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Forgive our sins, we pray, through Him who was
handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.
Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Isaiah 1:18]
Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The Apostles' Creed, # 845
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 word “catholic” means “throughout the world.”)
