*CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the
stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
*OPENING HYMN: (#38) Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
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 Fifth Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon The Valley of Vision]
Eternal Father, You are good beyond all thought, but we are vile, wretched,
miserable, blind; Our lips are ready to confess, but our hearts are slow to
feel and our ways reluctant to amend. We bring our souls to you. Break
them, wound them, bend them, mold them. Unmask to us sin's deformity,
that we may hate it, abhor it, flee from it. Our abilities have been weapons
of revolt against you; as rebels we have misused our strength, and served
the foul adversary of your kingdom. Give us grace to bewail our senseless
folly; Grant us to know that the way of transgression is hard; that evil paths
are wretched paths; that to depart from you is to lose all good. We have
seen the purity and beauty of your perfect law, the happiness of those in
whose heart it reigns, the calm dignity of the walk to which it calls; yet daily
we violate and condemn its precepts. All these sins we mourn, lament, and
for them cry, "Pardon." Work in us more profound and abiding repentance;
Give us the fullness of a godly grief which is ever powerful, and ever
confident; Grant that our repentance will enable us to see more clearly the
brightness and glory of the cross of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray.
Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Psalm 103:12]

*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.”)
