*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: (#76) Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
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 Fourth Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from Matthew Henry]
We have sinned against you, O Lord, our Maker, our Defender, and our
Redeemer. Our natures are corrupt and sinful; prone to fall away from you,
sluggish to do good and swift to do evil. Vain thoughts have come upon us
and found lodging within us, defiling and disquieting our minds, and keeping
out good thoughts. We have burdened ourselves with that care which you
have commanded us to cast upon you. We have failed in our duties one to
another, and have provoked one another as much to folly and anger as to
love and good works. We have been cold in our love to you, weak in our
desires toward you, unsteady in our walking with you, and are even at this
time poorly prepared to serve you. We beseech you--Forgive all our sins,
for Christ’s sake, and be at peace with us in Him Who died to make peace
and lives to make intercession for us. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Ezekiel 36:27]
And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and
be careful to obey my rules.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH Heidelberg Catechism Question 1
Q: What is your only comfort in life and death?
A: That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in
death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with
His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He
also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father
not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for
my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life
and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
