*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
God of Glory, You sent Jesus among us as the light of the world, to reveal Your love for all people. We confess that our sin and pride hide the brightness of Your light. We turn away from the poor; we ignore cries for justice; we do not strive for peace. In Your mercy, cleanse us of our sin, and baptize us once again with Your Spirit, that, forgiven and renewed, we may show forth Your glory shining in the face of Jesus Christ. 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
The Majesty and Glory of Your Name Tom Fettke Chancel Choir
When I gaze into the night skies And see the works of Your fingers; The moon and stars Suspended in space. What is man, That You are mindful of him?
You have given man A crown of glory and honor, And have made him
A little lower than the angels. You have put him In charge of all creation: The beasts of the field, The birds of the air, The fish of the sea. But what is man, Oh, what is man
That You are mindful of him.
PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION
O Lord, our God, The majesty and glory Of Your name Transcends the earth And fills the heavens.
O Lord, our God, Little children praise You perfectly, And so would we, And so would we.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
The majesty and glory of Your name. Alleluia, Alleluia!
The majesty and glory of Your name. Alleluia, Alleluia!
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!

Hear how a shoebox gift showed Dioany how God saw the desires of her heart.
