"This
is the day that the Lord has made,
let
us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24
*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the One
who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
"I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of
a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and
to revive the heart of the contrite.
*OPENING HYMN: (#2) O Worship
the King
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.

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.
