Call to Worship
Invocation
•Hymn 376: Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty Neander
•Prayer of Confession
O Lord our God, no day of our lives passes that does not prove us guilty in Your sight. Even our best efforts are as filthy rags before You. We ask You to forgive our sin because He who knew no sin was made to be sin for us; that in Christ we might be fully pardoned and restored. Grant that by resting in His righteousness, alone we may hereafter walk in newness of life, and run with endurance the race that is set before us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
•The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 John5:11–12
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
•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.
