Call to Worship: Psalm 18:1-2 Page 543
*Hymn: I Sing the Mighty Power of God #288
Prayer of Confession: Lord Jesus, we confess that we have not always brought honor to your name this week. It is an amazing privilege to know you by name, to be baptized into your family name, and to speak, act and pray in your name each day. Forgive us for the casual way we behave towards the name which causes angels to tremble and worship. Though we are guilty, hold us guiltless because of the power of your name, Lord Jesus, Risen Savior. Amen.
Silent Confession
Confessional Response: Kyrie Kyrie eleison; Christe eleison; Kyrie eleison.Translation: Lord have mercy; Christ have mercy; Lord have mercy.

*Affirmation of Faith: The Apostles‘ Creed Hymnal, Page 14I 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.
Concerns and Prayers of Our Church Family
The Lord’s Prayer (in unison)Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and power, and glory, forever.
