Assemble in God’s Name Prelude Now Thank We All Our God
arr. Paul Manz
Congregational Introit * Christ is Made the Sure Foundation Prayer of Adoration*
Give Praise to God
Hymn of Praise** O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing Placing the Bible Prayer of Confession Merciful God, your Word teaches that “you oppose the proud but give grace to the humble.” We offer ourselves to you now, in an act of humble confession. We confess that we are quick to judge and slow to have mercy. We confess that we allow selfishness and fear to keep us from helping those in need. Forgive all forms of arrogance that tempt us to believe we are better than others. In these moments of quiet confession, reveal to us the sins that are preventing us from being truly alive… Assurance of Forgiveness Congregational Response* All Creatures of Our God and King
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 Ride Up in the Chariot

Gonna ride up in the chariot soon-a in the mornin’, And I hope I’ll join the band. Oh, Lord, have mercy on me, And I hope I’ll join the band. Gonna walk and talk with Jesus soon-a in the mornin’, And I hope I’ll join the band. Gonna chatter with the angels soon-a in the mornin’, And I hope I’ll join the band. Ride in the mornin’, Oh my Lord!
