THE CALL TO CONFESSION Cathy Schreiber
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
We have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We
have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.
We have offended against your holy laws. We have left undone those
things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things
which we ought not to have done.
O Lord, have mercy upon us.Spare those who confess their faults. Restore
those who are penitent, according to your promises declared to the world in
Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O merciful God, for his sake, that we may
live a holy, just, and humble life for the glory of your holy name. Amen.

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.
THE OFFERTORY I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me Parry
I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall
stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city, that is at unity in itself.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy
walls and plenteousness within thy palaces.
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 416)
Laud and honor to the Father, laud and honor to the Son, laud and honor
