Call to Worship
PRELUDE
RESPONSIVE READING
Pastor: With what shall we come
before you, O Lord?
People: Or bow ourselves in your
presence, Most High God?
Pastor: Cause us to come unto you in
faith:
People: Mentioning no other name,
pleading no other righte-
ousness, and trusting in no
other atonement than that
of Your precious Son Jesus
Christ.
Pastor: In him, we desire to be found;
through him, we hope for
favor with you, and acceptance
in your sight.
All: Blessed be your goodness for
the mercies of the day,
for the blessings of your
providence, and the com-
forts of your Spirit. Hear our
praise today and restore our
spirits. Amen. ◆

Confession and Assurance
READING of GOD’S LAW
Hear God’s Law, His Will for Your Life, Matthew 7:
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye . . . So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. . . And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Life of Worship
PROFESSION of FAITH The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that exists—seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father before all worlds; Light of Light, True God of 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.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suf-fered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again, in accordance with the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, where he sits 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 Ghost, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and from the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism unto the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.◆

OUR LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in 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 the power,
and the glory, forever.
Amen. ◆
