*Call to Worship
Called by our Lord Jesus Christ, inspired by the Holy Spirit,
blessed by an incomparable Father, we come to worship one, holy God.
*Affirmation of Faith Apostles’ Creed
*Hymn 3 Holy, Holy, Holy NICAEA
Holy, holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee,
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Tho’ the darkness hide Thee,
Tho’ the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see.
Only thou art holy— there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, in purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name
in earth, and sky and sea.
Holy, Holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Invitation to Confession
Prayer of Confession (in unison)
Look deep, loving God, and see us as we really are. We are a people who prefer our will to your will. We focus on things of the self and give little thought or care to others. We wander through our days giving little thought to our own discipleship, let alone our call to help others become disciples. Forgive us, God of grace. Forgive us and set us again on the path of your righteousness. Amen.
(Silence for Individual Confession)
*Assurance of Pardon
*Response: #812 Glory Be To the Father
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
And to the Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
World without end. Amen, Amen.

He wants to do through you there.
Believe this and rely on His power,
His grace, and His love.
