Second Sunday after Pentecost

Prelude | Wayne Presbyterian Chamber Orchestra | Joseph Kauffman, Director

Psalm 19 (The Heavens Declare)

+ Call to Worship

Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739)

Transcribed by Kile Smith

Praise the Lord, all you nations! Extol him all you people!

For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord!

+ Hymn 361:

O Christ , the Great Foundation

+ Call to Confession

+ Prayer of Confession

Merciful God, you pardon all who truly repent and turn to you. We humbly confess our sins and ask your mercy

We have not loved you with a pure heart, nor have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have not done justice, loved kindness, or walked humbly with you, our God.

Have mercy on us, O God, in your loving-kindness. In your great compassion, cleanse us from our sin. Do not cast us away from your presence, or take you Holy Spirit from us

Restore to us the joy of your salvation and sustain us by your bountiful Spirit. Amen.

+ Declaration of Forgiveness

If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. Therefore, consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Jesus Christ. Know that you are forgiven and be at peace. Thanks be to God.

AURELIA

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.

Time for Reflection

+ Affirmation of Faith | A selection from A Brief Statement of Faith We trust in Jesus Christ, Fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition,

+ Affirmation of Faith | Continued from previous page. Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal.
