Call to Worship

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!

Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.

Psalm 148:1-5

Prayer of Adoration and Invocation - Lord’s Prayer

*Gloria Patri (No. 734)

*Hymn No. 53           Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Call to Confession:    Romans 1:18-20

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Let us confess our sins

Prayer of Confession (unison)

Heavenly Father, you have loved us with an everlasting love, but we have gone our own way and broken your laws.  We are sorry for our sins and turn away from them.  For the sake of your Son who died for us, forgive us, cleanse us and change us.  By your Holy Spirit, enable us to live for you, and to please you more and more; through Jesus Christ our Lord.   

Private Confession

Assurance of Forgiveness:   Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
