Prayer of Adoration
Hymn #39
“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not; Thy compassions they fail not.
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
(Refrain)
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
(Refrain)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow:
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
(Refrain)
Prayer of Confession Audrey Grice
O Lord, You know us thoroughly and our deepest secrets are open before You. You know our thoughts before they are conceived in our minds. We cannot hide from You. Therefore, we ask that You reveal to us our sins so that we may humble ourselves and seek Your forgiveness and grace. We admit we have tolerated sinful thoughts about power, lust, greed, jealousy, malice and other things that grieve Your heart. We have committed sins of omission and commission. Today we seek Your mercy and cleansing from our sins by the blood of Christ. And we thank You for your Spirit who enables us to walk in holiness and obedience. Give us the grace to please You this day and forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Assurance of Forgiveness

“Healer of Every Ill”
Healer of our ev’ry ill, light of each tomorrow,
Give us peace beyond our fear,
And hope beyond our sorrow.
You who know our fears and sadness,
Grace us with Your peace and gladness;
Spirit of all comfort, fill our hearts.

“Whenever I Call you FRIEND”
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 # 418
“Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling”
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
(Refrain)
“Come home, come home!
You who are weary, come home.”
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, “O sinner, come home!”
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me? (Refrain)
O for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me. (Refrain)
