PRELUDE Variations on AZMON arr. Austin Lovelace INTROIT

CALL TO WORSHIP Adapted from Psalm 50

The mighty one, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Our God comes and does not keep silence, before Him is a devouring fire, and a mighty tempest all around Him.

He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that He may judge His people: “Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”

The heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.

Let us call on God in the day of trouble; The Lord will deliver us, and we shall glorify our God.

Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor the Lord; To those who go the right way God will show His salvation.

Let us worship God! *HYMN 610 O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing AZMON

CONFESSION BASED ON PSALM 51 AND WRITTEN BY REVEREND ABIGAIL CARLISLE-WILKE

Merciful God, Have mercy on our souls,

according to Your unwavering love; according to Your abundant mercy

wipe away our sins and the guilt we have carried for so long.

Instead write on our hearts Your love Your boundaries for our lives

Your salvation that sets us free from our sins. To live the abundant life You have for each of us.

Lord we would see Jesus, We would love Jesus,

We would follow Jesus We would serve Jesus.

Lord, Create in us clean hearts,

Renew Your spirit within us. Do not turn us away from Your presence,

do not take Your holy spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation,

and sustain in us a willing spirit. Write on our hearts, Your love O God,

Amen.

THE HEART OF THE MATTER

RESPOND TO GOD’S GRACE *HYMN 629 Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee ST. AGNES

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
