*CALL TO WORSHIP: Isaiah
12:5-6
Sing praises to the LORD, for he has
done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. Shout,
and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is
the Holy One of Israel.
*OPENING HYMN: (#167) When

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.”)
