THE PRELUDE Walter Huff

Leader: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
People: And also with you.
Leader: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless God's holy
name.
People: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all God's benefits.
Leader: Who forgives all your sins and heals all your infirmities;
People: Who redeems your life from the grave, and crowns you with
mercy and loving-kindness.
All: Together, let us worship God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 356 Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of mercy, you sent Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost. We confess
that we have strayed from you and turned aside from your way. We are
misled by pride, for we see ourselves pure when we are stained, and great
when we are small. We have failed in love, neglected justice, and ignored
your truth. Have mercy, O God, and forgive our sin. Return us to paths of
righteousness through Jesus Christ, our Savior.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 357)
In hope that sends a shining ray far down the future's broadening way; in
peace that only Thou canst give, with Thee, O Master, let me live.

Lord Jesus Christ, be present now. Our hearts in true devotion bow, Thy spirit send with
grace divine. O may Thy truth within us shine. Unseal our lips to sing Thy praise, our souls
to Thee in worship raise. Make strong our faith, increase our light. O may we know Thy
name aright.
THE PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you
no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of
your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your
holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
