* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights! People: Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his hosts! Leader: Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars! People: Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Leader: Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created. People: He established them forever and ever; he fixed their bounds, which cannot be passed.

THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious God, we know academically that Christ is Lord of all creation, present at the start, sustaining in the Holy Spirit all that have breath. We know this, yet there are times when we struggle, when the life of faith feels more like a wrestling match. We forget that it means that Christ is Lord, not cancer cells; Christ is Lord, not racism. Christ is Lord not economic forces; Christ is Lord, not war and death. We know all these things, yet even knowing, we are scared that, one day, it will not be so. Forgive our failure to trust in you and help us to turn from fear to trust. We ask in the name of Christ, who is Lord of all. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: I appeal to you, therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. People: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable and perfect. Leader: Believe the promise of the Gospel: People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! - Romans: 12:1-2
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 417) Laud and honor to the Father, laud and honor to the Son, laud and honor to the Spirit, ever three and ever one; One in might and one in glory while unending ages run.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST (Children ages 3-10 are invited to leave after the Peace of Christ 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.)

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.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
