PRELUDE – “Oh! Great Is Our God” from The Sing Team
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP – Psalm 95
EVERYONE:
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
LEADER:
Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers put me to the test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known my ways.”
Therefore I swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter my rest.”

CONFESSION OF SIN –
EVERYONE:
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 and mind and strength.
We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be,
so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your holy name.
Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Micah 7:18-19
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
He will again have compassion on us;
he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – New Hampshire Confession of Faith (1833/53)
EVERYONE:
What do we believe about the world to come?
PASTOR:
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.
EVERYONE:
What do we believe about the righteous and the wicked?
PASTOR:
We believe that there is a radical and essential difference
between the righteous and the wicked;
that such only as through faith are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and sanctified by the Spirit of our God,
are truly righteous in His esteem;
while all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight wicked,
and under the curse;
and this distinction holds among men both in and after death.

We believe in God the Father Almighty,

born of the Virgin Mary,

He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

‘I never knew you;
depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – from the Heidelberg Catechism Q 60
How are you righteous before God?
Only by true faith in Jesus Christ.
Although my conscience accuses me
that I have grievously sinned
against all God’s commandments,
have never kept any of them,
and am still inclined to all evil,
yet God, without any merit of my own,
out of mere grace,
imputes to me
the perfect satisfaction,
righteousness, and holiness of Christ.
He grants these to me
as if I had never had nor committed
any sin,
and as if I myself had accomplished
all the obedience
which Christ has rendered for me,
if only I accept this gift
with a believing heart
