Call to Worship
Prayer of Adoration
Hymn #14
“For the Beauty of the Earth”
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
(Refrain)
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light: (Refrain)
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight: (Refrain)
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild: (Refrain)
For thyself, best gift divine
To the world so freely given;
For that great, great love of thine,
Peace on earth and joy in heaven: (Refrain)
Prayer of Confession Tricia Williamson
Almighty Father, You are the source of every good and perfect gift. We praise Your name for the greatest and most perfect gift: Your son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Today we humble ourselves before You in prayer. We confess to You, not only our sins of omission in failing to do what we know is right, but also our sins of commission in doing what is wrong. O Lord, we are weak, slow to confess our sins and prone to wander from the path of righteousness. Do not deal with us as our sins deserve but wash us clean in the blood of the Lamb and empower us by Your Spirit to live to honor and serve our Savior and Lord. We praise You that He was born like us that we might become like Him. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.

“Rescue Us”
Forgive us, Lord when we have gone astray
We fail to trust in the power of Your Name
Forgive us, Lord when we have gone astray
We take for granted the sacrifice You made
Come cleanse our hearts
Come heal our wounds
We lay our lives before Your cross
Come and rescue us

“Water for a Thirsty Soul”
Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I 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.
Prayers of the People and the Lord’s Prayer
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 the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Hymn # 81
“Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken”
Glorious things of Thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God.
God, whose word cannot be broken,
Formed Thee for a blest abode.
On the rock of ages founded,
What can shake Thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Thou may’st smile at all Thy foes.
Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which God gives them when they pray.
See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply Thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows, their thirst to assuage?
Grace, so like the Lord the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
Benediction
