CALL TO WORSHIP – Revelation 15:3-4
“Great and amazing are your deeds,
O Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations!
Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

CONFESSION OF SIN – Joel 2:12-14
“Yet even now,” declares the LORD,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
and rend your hearts and not your garments.”
Return to the LORD your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster.
Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and leave a blessing behind him.”
(moment of silence)
ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Romans 5:6-8
“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely
die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Because Christ died for us while we were at our worst,

WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP– Hebrews 12:26-29
God has promised,
“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
This phrase, “Yet once more,”
indicates the removal of things that are shaken –
that is, things that have been made –
in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,
and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship,
with reverence and awe,
for our God is a consuming fire.

CONFESSION OF SIN – James 4:4-5
You adulterous people!
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world
makes himself an enemy of God.
Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says,
“He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”?
“Let’s take a moment to confess silently our infidelities to the Lord…”
ASSURANCE OF PARDON – James 4:6
But he gives more grace.
Therefore it says,
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
“Let’s continue to humble ourselves as we sing the words of this song and celebrate that he gives grace to the humble!”

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – The Nicene Creed
EVERYONE:
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of the Father before all worlds;
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried;
and the third day He rose again,
according to the Scriptures;
and ascended into heaven,
and sits on the right hand of the Father;
and He shall come again, with glory,
to judge the quick and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life;
who proceeds from the Father and the Son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified;
who spoke by the prophets.
And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;
and we look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;

Say among the nations, ‘The Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.’”
We are here to ascribe to the Lord
the glory due his name!

CONFESSION OF SIN – from the Book of Common Prayer
(everyone read aloud)
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name.
Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Psalm 103:8-12
“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not
always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so
great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far
does he remove our transgressions from us.”

(everyone aloud)
We believe that the end of the world is approaching;
that at the last day Christ will descend from heaven,
and raise the dead from the grave to final retribution;
that a solemn separation will then take place;
that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment,
and the righteous to endless joy;
and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell,
on principles of righteousness.
