Gathering in God’s Name

Prelude — (jazz trio) — composer
As the prelude begins, you are invited to begin your personal preparation for worship.

Silent Meditation                                                                                                         
May I know You who know me. May I ‘know as I also am known’ (1 Cor. 13:12). Power of my soul, enter into it and fit it for yourself, so that You may have and hold it ‘without spot or blemish’ (Eph. 5:27). This is my hope, and that is why I speak. In this hope I am placing my delight when my delight is in what it ought to be. — St. Augustine, Confessions, Book X, Memory, i(I).

Call to Worship — Psalm 116, Verse 1-2, 11-12
I love the Lord, because God has heard my voice and my supplications.
       Because God inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.
What shall I return to the Lord our God, for all God’s bounty unto me?
       I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord – Let us worship God!

Confession and Pardon

Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession
God who is always faithful, abounding in steadfast love, and slow to anger, we come to you this day needing Your reassurance. We come to You needing Your forgiveness. You are always there for us. You are constantly True to us. But we are inconsistent in our relationship with You. We struggle with our faith in moments when we should lean on You. We give in to doubt in moments when we should give in to You. Shed Your mercy on us, O Lord. We believe in You fully, but faith can be hard sometimes. We admit that we need Your help. Give us the gentle strength we need to be Your people.

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

Communion Hymn #701 — Lord, Prepare Me — SANCTUARY

The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper

Invitation to the Lord’s Table

*Affirmation of Faith               
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 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.

*Sanctus (#562) — Holy, Holy, Holy — SANCTUS (Schubert)

Almighty God, we thank You for the joyous feast for the people of God. We humble ourselves before You after receiving this sacred meal. We cannot fathom the sacrifice of Your Son, only marvel at His love. May we go from Your House with Your Spirit, as disciples in mind, body, and soul. Amen.
