*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Isaiah 12:5-6 Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done
gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. Shout, and
sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the
Holy One of Israel.
*OPENING HYMN:
(#223) Thee We Adore, Eternal 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 (#572)
THE LAW OF GOD – The Fifth
Commandment – Father and Mother
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

is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

The Apostles' Creed
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.
