Gathering Music: COME TO SAVE US
Welcome and Announcements
Call to Worship: (Psalm 98:1-5)
One: Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
All: The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
One: He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
All: Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music… and the sound of singing.
One: Let us worship Him!
GREAT THINGS / YOUR NAME IS POWER
PRAYER OF CONFESSION & ASSURANCE OF PARDON: (from a prayer of John Knox)
All: O Lord, behold your own mercy and goodness, that you may purge and remove the burden of our most horrible offenses. Let your love overcome the severity of your judgments, even as it did in giving to the world your only Son, Jesus, when all mankind was lost, and no obedience was left in Adam or in his seed. Regenerate our hearts, O Lord, by the strength of the Holy Spirit. Convert us, and we will be converted. Work in us unfeigned repentance and move our hearts to obey your holy laws. Take not from us the light of your gospel. Repress the pride of those that would rebel; and remove from all hearts the contempt of your Word. Look to the honor of your own name, O Lord; and let your gospel be preached with boldness in this realm. If your justice must punish, then punish our bodies with the rod of your mercy and let us not faint under the cross of our Savior, but assist us with the Holy Spirit, even to the end. Amen.
One: Micah 7:18-19 says, “Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
All: Amen
