Leader: Taste and see that the Lord is good.
People: Happy are they who find refuge in God.
Leader: What shall we render to the Lord for all the Lord’s bounty to us?
People: We will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 478 Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 280)
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST (Children are always welcome in the sanctuary during worship. Should you find that your child grows restless, there is child care available. Infants are cared for in the Nursery Room 105, toddlers 18 months through two years in Room 112. Children ages 2-11 are invited to leave after The Peace of Christ for special classes.
