"This
is the day that the Lord has made,
let
us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24
*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Job 19:25-27
For I know that my
Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And
after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see
God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not
another. My heart faints within me!
*OPENING HYMN: (#277) Christ
the Lord is Risen Today
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 1st Great
Commandment [Mt 22:37]
CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from
Calvin’s Form of Church Prayers]
Eternal and Almighty Father, we
acknowledge and confess before your holy majesty, that we are poor
sinners; conceived and born in guilt and in corruption, prone to
evil, unable of ourselves to do any good; who, because of our
depravity, transgress without end your holy commandments. Therefore
we have drawn upon ourselves, by your just sentence, condemnation and
death. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow we repent and deplore our
offenses! We condemn ourselves and our evil ways, with true
penitence beseeching that your grace may relieve our distress. Be
pleased then to have compassion upon us, O most gracious God, Father
of all mercies, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
And, in removing our guilt and our pollution, grant us the daily
increase of the grace of your Holy Spirit; that, acknowledging from
our inmost hearts our own unrighteousness, we may be touched with
sorrow that shall work true repentance; and that your Spirit,
mortifying all sin within us, may produce the fruits of holiness and
righteousness well-pleasing in your sight; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Psalm
32:1]
Blessed is the one whose transgression
is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

*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.
