Congregational Introit * Christ is Made the Sure Foundation
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.
Prayer of Adoration*
Give Praise to God
Hymn of Praise ** The Church’s One Foundation #437 Lighting of the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Oh Lord, our God, we believe in You in the bright sunshine. We trust You when life is going well, but when the dark night closes in, our faith grows weak. We have believed that our faith would protect us from the night, and when we have to go through hard times like everyone else, we wonder where You are. Lord, we forget that you know dark nights from the inside, and will guide us through safely. Lord, forgive us for trying to avoid the lessons of a dark night. Forgive us for clinging to a small and safe faith when the night calls for courage. Lord, bring us safely through every dark season into the light of Your presence, stronger, wiser, and full of faith. Hear us now as we confess our lack of faith in silence… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* Glory Be to the Father #546

Hymn of Response* Love Divine, All Loves Excelling Invitation and Benediction* Postlude
Offering Our Gifts The Lord is My Light Frances Allitsen arr. Sumner Salter
The Lord is my Light and my salvation, Whom, then shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom then shall I be afraid? Though an host of men were laid against me, Yet shall not my heart be afraid; And though there rose up war against me, Yet will I put my trust in Him. For in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in His tabernacle, Yes, in the secret places of His dwelling shall He hide me, And set me up upon a rock of stone. Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544
