SALUTATION

Dr. Sullivan

CALL TO WORSHIP One: Surely, our heart rejoices in you, Many: For in your holy name we put our trust.

One: Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, Many: Even as we place our hope in you.

One: Let us worship God! HYMN

Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty (from Glory to God) LOBE DEN HERREN 1. Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!

All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near; join me in glad adoration!

2. Praise ye the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth, shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!

Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been granted in what he ordaineth?

3. Praise ye the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!

All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him!

Let the amen sound from his people again; gladly for aye we adore him.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION Merciful God, your word and your promises come to us when our hearts are full with rejoicing and when our hearts fall with sorrow for our failings.

The gifts you have given us we have not shared with our neighbors.

By overt acts and by omission, we diminish your creation.

We deceive ourselves about our true nature, and we do not honor your desire for Earth and all her creatures.

We beg your mercy. Forgive us.

Help us to amend our lives in accord with your admonitions.

Show us the pathway toward healing and give us peace, in the name of Christ, our Savior. Amen.

Dr. Sullivan

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The 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.

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
