ORDER OF SERVICE

• CALL TO WORSHIP
  Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
  There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.
  All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.
  Teach us your way, O Lord, that we may walk in your truth; unite our hearts to fear your name. We give thanks to you, O Lord our God, with our whole heart, and we will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward us; you have delivered our soul from the depths of Sheol.
  Let us praise the name of our God together in this place!
  
  
• SONG OF ADORATION
  
  
• PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
  O Father, we are gathered before you, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, whose chosen dwelling place is with the broken and contrite, to confess that we have sinned in thought and word and deed; we have not loved you with all our heart and soul, we have not loved you with all our mind and strength; we have not even loved our neighbor as ourselves. Purge us from selfishness, the fear of man, and the love of praise. In your mercy, deepen our sorrow for the wrong we have done and for the good we have left undone, so that we may hate our sin with a holy hatred. But, please Father, do not leave us in sorrow. With you, O Lord, there is forgiveness. In your mercy, restore the joy of our salvation; so that we may love you with a holy love. AMEN
  
  
• ASSURANCE OF PARDON
  But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
