Call to Worship

Invocation

Hymn 1: All People That on Earth Do Dwell Old Hundredth

Prayer of Confession

Heavenly Father, we praise You because Your word is truth, and Your faithfulness endures forever. Forgive us, Lord, for we are as shifting sand before You. Our thoughts and actions reveal our inconsistency: the same mind meditates on Your Word yet seeks worldly wisdom; with the same mouth we bless You and curse others; our hearts long for You but lust after lesser loves. O God, help us, and be merciful to us. Save us from a divided loyalty, and grant that we may serve You each day in newness of life, through Christ our Lord, Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 Peter 3:18

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.

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!

Prayer of Illumination
