Processional Hymn #1 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God
Almighty
Territorial Acknowledgement
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and
the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
We thank you, O God,
that you have again brought us together
on the Lord’s Day to praise you for your goodness
and to ask your blessing.
Give us grace to see your hand in the week that is past,
and your purpose in the week to come;
through Christ our Lord. Amen
Officiant: Dear friends in Christ, as we turn our hearts and
minds to worship almighty God, let us confess our sins.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done and by what we have left
undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart.
We have not loved our neighbours as
ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us,
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your
ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen
Officiant: Merciful God,
grant to your faithful people pardon and peace, that we may be cleansed from all our sins and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and for ever.

A Sermon or Reflection
Officiant: Let us confess our faith as we say,
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose
again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again 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 the life everlasting. Amen
