(2:47) Call to Worship: Congregational Prayer

Lord, fill our hearts with reverence for You.
Make us hunger for Your Word and passionately desire to walk in Your ways.
Forgive us our sins, for they are many.
Give us a greater glimpse of Your glory as we offer You this praise and worship.

We thank You for the way You have rescued us over and over, through many difficult things. Come now and help us in this: to place our trust, hope, and confidence in You.

May Your name be honored in our conduct.
May Your kingdom be made visible in our relationships.
May Your will be done in our hearts and minds.

This we pray in the name above all names, Jesus Christ,
to whom belongs all glory, forever and ever, amen!


(29:25) Creed: The Apostles’ Creed

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

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


(1:07:01) Confession of Sin

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You this day,
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 hearts;
we have not loved our neighbors 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.

Grant to Your people pardon and peace,
that in Your great mercy, we may be forgiven all our sins,
and serve You with a quiet and contrite heart.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
