PRELUDE
WORDS OF WELCOME
*CALL TO WORSHIP (from Isaiah 40:31)
Leader: Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
People: They shall mount up with wings as eagles.
Leader: They shall run and not be weary.
People: They shall walk and not faint.
Leader: Then let us wait for the Lord and turn to God in prayer.
*PRAYER OF INVOCATION
*HYMN Be Thou My Vision
*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
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved You with our whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In Your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways, to the glory of Your holy name. 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
I Am Thine, O Blessed Savior Robert Radcliffe Summer Choir
I am Thine, O blessed Saviour, By the blood once shed for me; I’ve been brought into Thy favor, And from sin have been set free.
Refrain: Into favor, into favor, By the blood Christ shed for me; I’ve been brought into His favor, Now and for eternity.
PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION
I am kept, O blessed Saviour, Thro’ the faith in Thy dear name; None can rob me of Thy favor, While in Thee my faith remains. Refrain
I shall reign, O blessed Saviour, When the cares of life are o’er; Reign with Thee in blissful favor, Over on that peaceful shore. Refrain
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.
