† PRAYER OF THE DAY † PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Rev. Matt Drumheller Gracious God, we equate our judgment with your judgment and often consider our ways to be your ways. We define peace as the absence of disruption. We hold our comfort as your aim and think our preferences reflect your way. Too often, we act as if we are your authoritative witnesses, believing that our understanding contains your hope for the future. Forgive our selfish views. Dislodge us from our sinful assumptions.

PRESENTATION

† PROFESSION 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.

ANTHEM Clap Your Hands

Alfred V. Fedak Clap your hands, O faithful people! Shout to God a song of praise! From the dust of conquered nations, God, a realm of grace shall raise. In appointed courts of glory faithful to God’s name always. May we prosper all our days. With a shout and blast of trumpet, God shall mount a throne on high; let our praise, as finest incense, rise to meet God in the sky. Fill the world with glad rejoicing, heaven shall sing, and earth reply, all God’s works to glorify. Let your hearts be filled with gladness, as the Lord your life shall bless; live as heirs of God’s great justice, wear the cloak of righteousness. God will grant us earth’s dominion, all things good, and nothing less, all things good, all things good, for our gift of faithfulness.

Michael Burkhardt

Thy holy wings, dear Savior, spread gently over me, and through the long night watches, I’ll rest secure in Thee. Whatever may betide me, be Thou my hiding place, and let me live and labor each day, Lord, by Thy grace. Thy pardon, Savior, grant me, and cleanse me in Thy blood; give me a willing spirit, a heart both clean and good. Oh, take into Thy keeping Thy children, great and small, and while we sweetly slumber, enfold us one and all, one and all, one and all.
