WELCOMING THE ASSEMBLY

PASTOR: The Lord be with you!
PEOPLE: And also with you!

CONFESSING OUR SINS

ALL: Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the greatness of Your compassion, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, I have sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak, and blameless when You judge. I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Amen.

CONFESSING OUR SINS PRIVATELY

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

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!

DRAWING NEAR TO WORSHIP

You are Lord of creation and Lord of my life, Lord of the land and the sea.
You were Lord of the heavens before there was time,
And Lord of all lords You will be!

We bow down and we worship You, Lord. (repeat 2 times)
Lord of all lords You will be!

You are King of creation and King of my life, King of the land and the sea.
You were King of the heavens before there was time,
And King of all kings You will be!

We bow down and we crown You the King. (repeat 2 times)
King of all kings You will be!

RESPONDING IN SONG

CONFESSING OUR FAITH

PASTOR: People of God, what do we believe?

We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
  We 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 remained under the power of death.
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.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy apostolic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

THANKING GOD FOR HIS PRESENCE

PASTOR: We give thanks to you, Lord, for you are good.
ALL: Your love endures forever. Amen.

For by Your hand we have been fed, and by Your Spirit we have been led.
O Lord, You have been good, You have been faithful to all generations.

O Lord, You’re Beautiful

O Lord, You’re beautiful, your face is all I seek.
And when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds to me.

O Lord, please light the fire that once burned bright and clear,
Replace the lamp of my first love that burns with holy fear!

O Lord, You have been good, You have been faithful, You have been good.
