Prelude

Pastoral Prayer and 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.

Verses on the ‘Gloria’ *Congregational Introit

Christ is Made the Sure Foundation *Prayer of Adoration

GiVe PRAise To God **Hymn of Praise

Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven - #31 Lighting of the Candles Placement of the Bible Prayer of Confession Gracious and loving God, in the beginning you created us in your image, making us male and female, intending that the two should be one flesh. We confess that we have taken what you intended and remade it according to our own liking. In both thought and deed we have diminished what you designed. Forgive us and change our desires that they may be only for your glory. Help us to honor everyone we see as someone who bears your image.

Give us hearts that seek to honor you in all that we think and do. Hold us with your covenant keeping love as we offer to you with our silent confessions . . .

Assurance of God’s Forgiveness *Congregational Response

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less - #368 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand; All other ground is sinking sand.

Offering Our Gifts

Open Thou Mine Eyes Open Thou mine eyes and I shall see Incline my heart and I shall desire: Order my steps and I shall walk in the ways, Shall walk in the ways of Thy commandments.

O Lord my God, be Thou to me a God, And beside Thee let there be none else, no other, Nought else with Thee.

Vouchsafe to me to worship Thee and serve Thee, to serve Thee.

According to Thy commandments, in truth of spirit, In reverence of body, In blessing of lips, In private and public.

Open Thou mine eyes… *Doxology
