*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Psalm 141:1-2 O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my
voice when I call to you! Let my prayer be counted as incense before
you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
*OPENING HYMN:
(#12) Exalt the Lord, His Praise Proclaim
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 Seventh
Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Based upon The Book of Common Worship, first order]
Most
holy and merciful Father, we acknowledge and confess before You our
sinful nature, prone to evil and slow in good, and all our
shortcomings and offenses. You alone know how often we have sinned--
in wandering from Your ways, in wasting Your gifts, in forgetting
Your love. O Lord, have mercy on us. We are ashamed and sorry for
everything in which we have displeased you. Teach us to hate our
errors. Cleanse us from our secret faults, and forgive our sins for
the sake of your dear Son. And O most holy and loving Father, help
us, we ask You, to live in Your light and walk in Your ways,
according to the commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

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.
