	ALL: O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, be the God of Your people today! We confess that we have worshipped all too many other gods. We have devoted ourselves to the values of the world. Turn our hearts to You again! We confess that we have visited all too many sanctuaries, which are not Yours. We have tried to find the sources of life in all too many other places. We have made idols of our occupations, our recreations, and our homes. We turn to You, and to You alone, to be our God, our only God. Give us spiritual integrity. Give us wholeness and holiness. Answer us, O Lord, answer us, that we will be, in truth, Your people. All honor and power be to You, O Christ, forever and ever. Amen.


•	ASSURANCE OF PARDON	John 3:16-17
	PASTOR: Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Now, lift up your hearts! PEOPLE: We lift them up to the Lord!

PEOPLE: He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure. PASTOR: He placed all things under the feet of Christ and appointed him to be head over everything for the church. ALL: He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
