prayer of confession *

Let us confess our sins before God.Loving God, you are faithful and a generous giver of gifts. Yet we confess that too often we fail to remember all the gifts that you have given us and instead rely on our own strength and power. Forgive us our sins and help us remember the gifts that you give to us so that we may glorify and honor you. Amen.

words of assuranceHear the good news: God is with us, and will never forsake us. Trust in God and be at peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.In the name of Jesus Christ you are forgiven. Glory to God. Amen.

ministry of musicOne Church, One Faith Music: Keith Getty (20th century) Text: E. H. Plumptre (1821-1891)

Your hand, O God, has guided your church from age to age. The tale of love is written for us on ev’ry page. Our fathers knew Your goodness, and we Your works record. And each of these bear witness, one church, one faith, one Lord. One church, one faith, one Lord of life. One Father, one Spirit, one Christ. One church, one faith, one Lord of life. One heavenly King, Lord of all. Your mercy never fails us or leaves Your work undone. With Your right hand to help us the victory shall be won. And then with heaven’s angels Your name shall be adored. And they shall praise You singing, one church, one faith, one Lord.

Michael Lindsay, bass
