*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Isaiah
42:10 Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the
earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the
coastlands and their inhabitants.
*OPENING HYMN:
(#57) Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah, O My Soul
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.

Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Composed by PCA Minister, Rev. Jeffrey White]
Lord Jesus Christ,
though being in very nature God, when You came to redeem us You
humbled Yourself and made Yourself nothing. Though You were rich,
for our sakes You became poor, so that through Your poverty we might
become rich. We confess how unlike You we are in our attitudes and
actions. We strive for recognition and acclaim from others, and we
sulk and become bitter if we do not get it. We look out for our own
needs and concerns, failing to care for others except for when it
serves our own purposes. Forgive us our sin and renew our hearts.
Grant us to realize that we only achieve greatness and gain our lives
by giving them away. Work in us by the power of Your Spirit so that
we become more like You and so bring glory to our Father in heaven.
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.

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.”)
