"This is the day that the Lord has made,  

let us rejoice and be glad in it." 

  Psalm 118:24 

*CALL TO WORSHIP:   Romans 11:33-36     

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!   "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"   "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"   For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. 

  

*OPENING HYMN:  (#6) O Come, My Soul, Bless Thou the Lord 

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 Second Commandment 

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.

*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.”)
