Prelude | Melanie Eberhard, organ Un poco Allegro (from Sonata No. 4, BWV 528)

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

+ Call to Worship Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.

Worship the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with thanksgiving.

Know that the LORD is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.

Give thanks to him, bless his name.

For the LORD is good, his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. + Hymn 1: Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! + Call to Confession + Prayer of Confession Almighty and merciful God, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.

O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Forgive those who confess their faults.

Restore those who are penitent, according to your promises declared to the world in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And grant, O Merciful God, for his sake, that we may live a holy, just, and humble life to the glory of your holy name.

NICAEA

+ Declaration of Forgiveness Hear the good news!

As people born of water and the Spirit we have died to the old life, and a new life has begun.

God’s grace is poured out upon us day by day.

Come to the water and remember your baptism.

Be thankful, and live as one who has been raised to new life!

In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God. + Response of Praise: Glory Be to the Father

GLORIA PATRI

+ Passing of the Peace The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.

Celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism Alexander Charles van Ostenbridge, son of Lindsay and Charles van Ostenbridge Affirmation of Faith | The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
