*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Psalm 98:1-4 Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done
marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked
salvation for him. The LORD has made known his salvation; he has
revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has
remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of
Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into
joyous song and sing praises!
*OPENING HYMN:
(#146) Praise the Lord! My Soul, O Praise Him!
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 (#572)
THE LAW OF GOD – Second
Commandment – No Idols
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.

The Apostles' Creed
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.”)
