PRELUDE – “All Will Be Well” by Gabe Dixon Band

WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP – 1 Peter 1:3-5 (NIV)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope

through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,

who through faith are shielded by God’s power

until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” by Joachim Neander

CONFESSION OF SIN

EVERYONE:

Almighty and merciful God,

we have erred and strayed from your ways

like lost sheep.

We have followed too much

the devices and desires of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone

those things which we ought to have done;

and we have done

those things which we ought not to have done.

O Lord, have mercy upon us

Spare those who confess their faults.

Restore those who are repentant,

according to your promises

declared to the world in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

And grant, O merciful God, for his sake,

that we may live a holy, just, and humble life

to the glory of your holy name.

Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON – 1 Corinthians 1:7-9

Our Lord Jesus Christ… will sustain you to the end,

guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful,

by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son,

Jesus Christ our Lord.
