Call to Worship

Invocation

Hymn 57: Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah, O My Soul Ripley

Prayer of Confession

Almighty, eternal, merciful God and Father, we poor sinners confess that we have sinned in many ways against You and Your commandments. We confess that we have not kept the Sabbath holy, nor have we rejoiced in the work of six days but have grumbled against it and been negligent. We confess that we have not honored our parents, and have been disobedient to them and to all those to whom we owe honor and obedience. We confess that we have not respected life, but have murdered in our hearts, venting our anger against our neighbors whom we are to love. Therefore we beg You, O heavenly Father, that You would graciously forgive us these and all our sins, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, our Savior, Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: John 3:16–17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; alleluia, alleluia!
Praise him above, ye heav’nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
