*HYMN For the Beauty of the Earth
*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
Lord Jesus, forgive and correct the wrong we have done. We have permitted pride to blind and anger to burn, and we have failed to live the new life You have given to us. Help us forgive others, that we may live as brothers and sisters. Help us to forgive ourselves that we might experience a newness of life. It is in your name we pray. Amen.
ASSURANCE
OF PARDON (1 John 1:9)
Leader: If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Therefore, let us assure one another of God’s pardon. All: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
ANTHEM Holy Is He
Holy is He and great is His glory. Holy is He and worthy of our praise. I stand in His presence amazed, And crown Him with worship and praise!
Holy is He, Holy is He, Holy is He.
Who pardons my iniquities, Who heals me from within?
Who lifts my fallen life And sets me on my feet again? Who leads me like a shepherd When I’ve gone astray?
My Lord, my God, my Jesus, The One I praise today!
PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION
Claire Cloninger/David T. Clydesdale
Who hears me in my loneliness, Who finds me where I hide?
Who knocks outside my broken heart, ‘Til I let Him inside?
Whose life deserves the honor Laid before His throne?
My Lord, my God, my Jesus, My Savior and my own!
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty; God in three persons, blessed Trinity.
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.
