*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 Eighth 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.

*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.”)
