PRELUDE Alan Hunter
Jesu Leiden, Pein Und Tod G. Merkel
*CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
People: When I will make a new covenant with you. Leader: And now the promised hour has come,
People: When the Lord of life will be lifted up.
All: Let us worship God.
*PROCESSIONAL HYMN #93 Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates TRURO
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God our Redeemer, we confess that we are people of ashes
and dust. You write your law in our hearts, yet we pretend
we do not know you. You lifted up Christ for all to see, yet
we turn away from your glory. Forgive us, God of grace.
Teach us to delight in your way, to seek you with all our
hearts, and to trust in your saving love. Hear us now, as in
silence, we offer our personal prayers of confession.
SILENT PERSONAL CONFESSION Leader: In Jesus’ name,
All: Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
*THE RESPONSE #618, Vs. 5 O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High DEO
GRACIAS
All glory to our Lord and God,
For love, so deep, so high, so broad:
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forever more.

Go Now In Peace Don
Besig
Go now in peace. Never be afraid.
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know He will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe.
Reach out to others so all the world can see.
God will be there watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith, and in love.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
Go Now in Peace

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was
conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the
dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand
of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge
the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the
communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection
of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE Glenn Hypes
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as
we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power
and the glory, forever. Amen.
