March 20, 2011 It Is Finished

I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him! 

All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! 

For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; 

he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. 

Psalm 22:21‐25

my God.’—Proverbs 30: 8-9

praise Him, all creatures here below; praise him above ye heavenly host;

praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.” Closing Hymn 294 “Alas, And Did My Savior Bleed” Benediction Postlude The Acolyte will take the light of Christ into the world * please stand if it is comfortable for you to do so
