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 most just and holy God, we confess before Your great majesty that we are sinners by nature, and we have willingly disobeyed Your commandments in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved You with our whole heart, nor have we loved our neighbor as ourselves. We come to You, Lord, not to make excuses or claim any merit of our own, but to cast ourselves upon Your tender mercy, hoping and trusting in the merit and mediation of Christ alone. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Romans 5:1

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Invocation

Hymn 167: When Morning Gilds the Skies Laudes Domini

Responsive Reading: Psalm 69:19–36 (pew Bible p.483)

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.

There Is a Green Hill Far Away (11am) Bob Chilcott
Tenth Church Choir

There is a green hill far away, without a city wall, where the dear Lord was crucified, who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell, what pains he had to bear; but we believe it was for us he hung and suffered there. He died that we might be forgiv'n, he died to make us good, that we might go at last to heav'n, saved by his precious blood. O dearly, dearly has he loved, and we must love him too, and trust in his redeeming blood, and try his works to do.
