Evening Worship Service

Prelude: Fantasia on Come, Holy Ghost, BWV 651 Johann Sebastian Bach

Call to Worship

Invocation

Hymn 339: For Your Gift of God the Spirit Blaenwern

Prayer of Confession

Almighty God, Your Church is one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. Lord, we lament how our sin divides Your Church. We often fail to see how our actions, our convictions, and our attitudes contribute to disunity. We lack forbearance and patience with one another. We insist on our own way. We do not trust those who have different opinions than ours. Have mercy on us, most merciful Father, and grant us Your peace. Unite us by your Holy Spirit, we pray, and help us serve You and one another in love and humility. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Galatians 4:4–7

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen

Sacrament of the Lord's Supper

The Sursum Corda (Lift up your hearts)

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts!
We lift them up to the Lord!
Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.
It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
It is right and good and a joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks unto You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Your glorious Name; evermore praising You, and saying:

“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.”
