Assemble in God's Name Prelude
Congregational Introit * Christ is Made the Sure Foundation Prayer of Adoration*
Give Praise to God
Hymn of Praise ** Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee #21 Lighting the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Merciful Savior, we confess that we have too often called on your name while allowing our hearts to wander far from you. We have heard your word, but we have disregarded it, choosing to trust in our own wisdom and strength. Rather than rely on your gift of abundant life, we have bought into the trappings of today’s wisdom. We find ourselves stressed, troubled, and less than joyful. In your mercy, forgive our sins, and restore to us the joy of your salvation. Hear us as we continue our confession in silence… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* Glory Be to the Father #546
Pastoral Prayer & 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. Offering Our Gifts Hear Me, Redeemer
