THE PIANO PRELUDE
CALL TO MEDITATION
THE PRELUDE :
Jill Taylor
“A Celtic Ring”
The Jo Anderson Handbell Choir
THE INTROIT:
“Praise Ye the Name of the Lord”
THE CALL TO WORSHIP
*THE HYMN:
“Praise Him! Praise Him!”
No. 106
*THE INVOCATION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
O God, our Father, forgive us for our many sins. We fall short of Your glory
so often, and when we do, we run and hide in shame instead of running to
You to confess our sin and find joy and forgiveness in the cross. Forgive us
for trusting in our own strength more than in Your grace and power to save
us completely. Jesus, we thank You for coming into our world and lives. We
believe You have been tempted in every way as we have, yet without sin. We
do not fully understand the humility, love and commitment that took You to
the cross. Your sacrifice is beyond our experience and comprehension. But
we choose to turn to You again and ask to be made whole again. In Jesus’
name, Amen.
(Silent prayer for confession of personal sin.)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
*THE GLORIA PATRI:
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. A-men, A - men.
*THE APOSTLES’ CREED
THE UNISON READING:
Psalm 32: 1-5; 11
Blessed is he
whose transgression are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD” and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
