*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (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. *GLORY BE TO THE FATHER

PRAYER OF CONFESSION Gracious Lord Jesus, we confess that at times we run around in life as if possessed by anything other than Your love. A legion of concerns and worries can easily overwhelm us. And we can forget all that You have done for us. Help us to recall the good things You have done, and how You have shown mercy upon us. May we be eager to proclaim Your love and bear witness to Your grace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON (John 3:16-17) Leader: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Therefore, let us assure one another of God’s pardon.

All: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God. ANTHEM Alleluia, alleluia.

Praise God in His holy place, Praise Him in His mighty heav’ns, Praise Him for His powerful deeds, Praise His surpassing greatness.

Psalm 150 Chancel Choir Alleluia, alleluia.

O praise Him with sound of trumpet, Praise Him with lute and harp, Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with strings and pipe.

John Harper Alleluia, alleluia.

O praise Him with resounding cymbals, Praise Him with clashing of cymbals, Let everything that lives and that breathes give praise to the Lord.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION Spirit of God, speak once again through the Words of Scripture that our listening ears may hear Your voice. Help us to place Your Word in our minds, treasure it in our hearts, choose it with our wills, and live it through our bodies. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

This is the word of the Lord.
