Prelude

He Keeps Me Singing Luther Bridgers/arr. Rebecca Bonam

There’s within my heart a melody—Jesus whispers sweet and low, “Fear not, I am with thee—peace be still,” in all of life’s ebb and flow. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus—sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

Invocation

•Hymn 80: Lord, with Glowing Heart I’d Praise Thee Ripley

•Prayer of Confession

Almighty and Merciful Father, you have called us to be your people and have made us one body. Yet we have not lived as though we are one. We have not loved one another as we ought. We have not put others’ interests above our own. Selfishness and conceit have gripped us. We have failed to look out for, associate with, and care for each other, even those who are different from ourselves. We have not treated one another as those in whom Christ dwells. Forgive us for our offences against you, and subdue everything in us that is contrary to your purposes. By the power of your Spirit, make us a community that shows forth your acceptance, kindness, and love. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

•The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 John 1:8–9

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

•Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 732) Tallis’ Canon

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host: praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Prayer of Illumination (concluding with The Lord’s Prayer)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
