Morning Worship Service

Prelude: Here, O My Lord Barry Rose
Peter Cunningham, tenor

Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; here would we touch and handle things unseen; here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace and all my weariness upon Thee lean. Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with Thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. I have no help but Thine; nor do I need another arm save Thine to lean upon; It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

Announcements Kelci Rose, Director of Christian Education & Women's Ministries (11am)

Call to Worship

Doxology Old Hundredth

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

Prayer of Confession

O Lord, great God, whom we behold in awe and wonder, who has kept covenant and steadfast love with your people from age to age: we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and ordinances. We have known in our hearts what is right, and yet we did wrong anyway. We have been fascinated by evil, delighted with pleasing ourselves, satisfying our desires, pampering ourselves with pleasures. O Lord, great God, have mercy on us according to your steadfast love. We know you are a God who delights in goodness. Grant that we too might delight in goodness. These prayers we present to you, O Father, in the name of Jesus, the Lamb who was slain and yet lives forever more. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 10:9–10

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Invocation

Hymn 172: Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder All Saints Old

Responsive Reading: Psalm 119:1–16 (pew Bible p. 512)

Gloria Patri Meineke

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer of Intercession (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.

You Gates, Lift Up Your Heads (11am) A.M. Thompson/arr. Evelyn Larter

You gates, lift up your heads on high; you doors that last for aye, be lifted up, that so the King of glory enter may. But who is He that is the King? The mighty Lord is this; ev'n that same Lord that great in might and strong in battle is. You gates, lift up your heads! You doors, doors that do last alway, be lifted up, for so the King of glory enter may. But who is he that is the King? The King of glory, who is this? The Lord of hosts, and none but he, the King of glory is. Hallelujah! Amen.
