*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 (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.
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.
SCRIPTURE
Leader: This is the word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God!

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.

OFFERTORY
Soli Deo Gloria Marty Haugen Chancel Choir
O God of blessings, all praise to you! Your love surrounds us our whole life through. You are the freedom of those oppressed; You are the comfort of all distressed. Come now, O holy and welcome guest: Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for wisdom, great gift sublime, Through words and teachers of ev’ry time; For stories ancient and knowledge new, For coaches, mentors, and couns’lors true Whose lives of service brought us to you: Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for prophets, through grace inspired To preach and witness with hearts on fire. Your Spirit chooses the weak and small To sing the new reign where mighty fall; With them may we live your gospel call: Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for music, deep gift profound, Through hands and voices, in holy sound; The psalms of David, and Mary’s praise, In wordless splendor and lyric phrase, With all creation one song we raise: Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
All praise for Jesus, best gift divine Through word and witness, in bread and wine; Incarnate love song of boundless grace, Priest, teacher, prophet in time and space, Your steadfast kindness with human face: Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
A billion voices in one great song, Now soft and gentle, deep and strong, In ev’ry culture and style and key, From hill and valley, with sky and sea, With Christ we praise you, eternally. Soli Deo gloria! Soli Deo gloria!
