WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP

Leader: We do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as

Lord and ourselves as servants for Jesus’ sake.

People: For God has shone in our hearts to give knowledge of

the glory of God.

Leader: Sisters and brothers, praise the Lord!

People: The Lord’s name be praised!

OPENING PRAYER

HYMN #385 “All People That on Earth Do Dwell” OLD 100TH

PRAYER OF CONFESSION Leader: Even before we speak, God knows our wrongs. Yet our

repentance opens our hearts to God, who is waiting to

hear us and forgive us. Let us confess all that separates

us from God and others.

People: God who formed our inward parts and knows our hearts,

forgive us. Instead of acknowledging you as our God,

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: APOSTLES CREED GLORY TO GOD HYMNAL

I believe in God the Father Almighty, PG. 35

maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,

Born of the Virgin Mary,

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell;

The third day he rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost,

The holy catholic church,

The communion of saints,

The forgiveness of sins;

The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

Amen.

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

SHARING THE PEACE Leader: Since God has forgiven us, let us also forgive one another.

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
