Corporate Prayer of Confession ALL:

Lord Jesus Christ, great was Your goodness in undertaking my

redemption, in consenting to be made sin for me, in conquering all my foes. Great was Your love in manifesting

Yourself alive, in showing Your sacred wounds, that every fear might vanish,

and every doubt be removed.

Great was Your mercy in ascending to heaven, in being crowned and enthroned there to intercede for me, there to help me in temptation, there

to open the eternal book, there to receive me finally to

Yourself.

Great was Your wisdom in devising this means of

salvation; bathe my soul in rich consolations of Your

resurrection life. O God, pardon all my sins, known and

unknown, felt and unfelt, confessed and not confessed,

remembered or forgotten.

Help me to be a holy, happy person, free from every wrong

desire, from everything contrary to Your mind. Grant me more and more of the resurrection life: may it rule me, may I walk in its power, and be strengthened through its

influence.

SILENT PRAYERS OF

THANKSGIVING AND

CONFESSION

Assurance of Pardon (Psalm 32:5)

Minister: Hear the promises of God to those who repent of their sins and trust in

Christ: I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will

confess my transgression to the Lord,” and You did forgive the guilt of my sin. Amen

and Amen. The peace of the Lord be with you always.

People: And also with you.

Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

“…those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

I Have Decided

to Follow Jesus

I have decided to follow

Jesus,


Jesus,


Jesus,

No turning back, no turning

back.

The world behind me, the

cross before me;


cross before me;


cross before me,

No Turning back, no

turning back.

Luke 24:13-35 (NLT) 13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. 15 As

they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began

walking with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him.

17 He asked them, “What are you

discussing so intently as you walk

along?” They stopped short,

sadness written across their faces.

18 Then one of them, Cleopas,

replied, “You must be the only

person in Jerusalem who hasn’t

heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.”

19 “What things?” Jesus asked. “The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He

was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people. 20 But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to

be condemned to death, and they crucified him.

21 We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all

happened three days ago. 22 “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this

morning, and they came back with an amazing report. 23 They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels

who told them Jesus is alive!

24 Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as

the women had said.” 25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You

find it so hard to believe all that th3 prophets wrote in the Scriptures.

26 Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these

things before entering his glory?”

27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and

the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with

them.

30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized

him. And at that moment he disappeared! 32 They said to each

other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and

explained the Scriptures to us?”

33 And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and the others who

had gathered with them, 34 who said, “The Lord has really risen! He appeared to

Peter.” 35 Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to

them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he

was breaking the bread.

Minister: The grass withers, and the flowers

fade, but the Word of the Lord is forever.

People: Thanks be to our great God

"I Saw The Light" (originally by Hank

Williams)

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin

I wouldn't let my dear savior in

Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night

Praise the lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light No more darkness, no more

night Now I'm so happy, no sorrow

in sight Praise the lord, I saw the light

Just like a blind man, I wandered alone

Worries and fears I claimed for my own

Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight


I was a fool to wander and stray

For straight is the gate and narrow the way

Now I have traded the wrong for the right


“I’LL FLY AWAY”

Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away;

To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away

Refrain:

I'll fly away, Oh Glory I'll fly away; (in the morning)

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,

I'll fly away

THE PASTORAL BENEDICTION

Go forth from this place

as God’s elect and covenant people . . .

AMEN
