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 God, maker of all things and judge of all people, have mercy upon our sinful condition. With the Apostle Paul, we desire to do what is right, yet often we choose to do what is wrong. O Lord, deliver us from the evil one and his temptations, from the lust and desires of the flesh, from affections which are alienated from your purposes. We lament the far-reaching effects of our sin and cry to you for help.  Grant, by your Holy Spirit, that we would become daily more like our Savior Jesus, whose food was to do the will of his Father in heaven. In Christ's name we pray, amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Ephesians 1:7

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

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.

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us and our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the prophets. And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. 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.

At the direction of the minister, please join in singing "Jesus Loves Me."

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to him belong, they are weak but he is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Offertory: Steal Away (9am) arr. Gilbert Martin

Christ Has Arisen, Alleluia (11am) arr. Colin Howland
Tenth Church Choir

Christ has arisen, alleluia. Rejoice and praise Him, alleluia. For our Redeemer burst from the tomb, even from death, dispelling the gloom. Let us sing praise to Him with endless joy; death's fearful sting he has come to destroy. Our sin forgiving, alleluia! Jesus is living, alleluia! For three long days the grave did its worst until its strength by God was dispersed. He who gives life did death undergo; and in its conquest His might did show. The angel said to them, "Do not fear! You look for Jesus who is not here. See for yourselves the tomb is all bare; only the grave clothes are lying there." "Go spread the news He's not in the grave; He has arisen this world to save. Jesus' redeeming labors are done; even the battle with sin is won." Christ has arisen; He sets us free; alleluia, to Him praises be. Jesus is living! Let us all sing; He reigns triumphant, heavenly King.
