PRAYERS OF CONFESSION
Silent
Unison:
Holy God, you see us as we are, and know our inmost thoughts. We confess that we are unworthy of your gracious care. We forget that all life comes from you and that to you all life returns. We have not always sought or done your will. We have not lived as your grateful children, nor loved as Christ loved us. Apart from you, we are nothing. Only your grace can sustain us. Lord, in your mercy, forgive us, heal us and make us whole. Set us free from our sin, and restore to us the joy of your salvation now and forever. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Now let us all praise God and sing our great redeemer's praise;
That we may all with one accord our joyful voices raise;
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia,
Sing Alleluia! All ye servants of the Lord, praise Him forever,
Sing Jehovah's mighty power, praise Him forever,
sing of His righteousness, praise Him forever.
So let us all praise God and sing our great Redeemer's praise,
That we may all with one accord our joyful voices raise;
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!

SILENT PRAYER, PASTORAL PRAYER AND THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father who art in Heav'n, hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heav'n;
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 the pow'r and the glory forever. Amen.

Responding to God's Word
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (The Nicene Creed, A.D. 381)
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 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.
