PRAYER OF INVOCATION 
 
"Great are you, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is your power, and your wisdom is infinite. You would we praise without ceasing.

Amen."

CONFESSION OF SIN 
 
Lord, you have been so gracious to us. You have kept your promises to us, and you have been faithful. But we have forgotten your grace and your faithfulness. The idols that we enjoy—self-righteousness, safety, prosperity—entice us and ensnare us. We think that we are our own god and king, when, in reality, you are. We cry out for forgiveness to you, merciful Father! Only through Jesus’ death in our place do we have your forgiveness. Continue to be faithful to your promise to love us, to walk with us, and to teach us. Strengthen us this week so that we may love, trust, and obey you. Amen.

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION 
 
Take time individually to confess your sins before the Lord. Then as a family/individually pray for the church, for our leaders, for the world, for the abating of the virus, and other needs you know of. You can always look at the prayer requests in the weekly email. 
 
 
OFFERING TO THE LORD 
 
One of the ways believers worship when physically gathered is through giving. Currently we can’t do that. Many do however give online. If you would like to, you can do so here. Or you may mail a check to our mailing address. (Note: if you are out of work and find yourself in need - please contact our deacons).

PRAYER OF INVOCATION 
 
“Father, we come before you this day through the magnificent and glorious work of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. It is by virtue of his life, death, resurrection, and ascension that we can come into your presence. We ask that your Holy Spirit would fill us this day and that our songs and meditations would be acceptable in your sight. We long to worship you and we pray that as your grace strengthens us you would be glorified in all the earth. In Christ’s name, Amen.”

CONFESSION OF FAITH 
 
Belgic Confession Article VII 
 
“We believe that this Holy Scripture contains the will of God completely and that everything one must believe to be saved is sufficiently taught in it. 
 
For since the entire manner of service which God requires of us is described in it at great length, no one—even an apostle or an angel from heaven, as Paul says—ought to teach other than what the Holy Scriptures have already taught us. 
 
For since it is forbidden to add to or subtract from the Word of God, this plainly demonstrates that the teaching is perfect and complete in all respects. 
 
Therefore we must not consider human writings—no matter how holy their authors may have been—equal to the divine writings; nor may we put custom, nor the majority, nor age, nor the passage of time or persons, nor councils, decrees, or official decisions above the truth of God, for truth is above everything else. 
 
For all human beings are liars by nature and more vain than vanity itself. 
 
Therefore we reject with all our hearts everything that does not agree with this infallible rule, as we are taught to do by the apostles when they say, “Test the spirits to see if they are of God,” and also, “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house.””
