THE PRELUDE Chorale and Andante con moto (from Sonata II) Felix Mendelssohn Sarah Martin, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament!

THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION Holy God, we are your people. Yet we do not always live as though this were true. You love us beyond our imagination and we are grateful, but not grateful enough to risk meeting your expectations. Where you would have us act, we have waited. Where you would have us show kindness, we have allowed barri- ers of our own making to rise between ourselves and those you would have us serve. Remind us of our own baptism as we celebrate the sacrament this day. Remind us of your eternally springing love that we cannot escape. We pray all these things the name of Jesus. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence. People: Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. Leader: Believe the promise of the Gospel: People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. - 2 Corinthians 4:14-15
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 473) For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth, and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild, Lord of all to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST (Children ages 3-10 are invited to leave after the Baptism for special classes. Threes & fours are in Room 011; K- 1st grade in Room 003; 2nd & 3rd grade are in Room 00l; 4th-5th grade are in Room 005.)
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH (Visitors and members are invited to sign the blue friendship register pad and pass it down the pew.)

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen
THE 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 for- give 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.
