GATHERING IN GOD’S NAME

PRELUDE
“Be Thou My Vision” Dale Wood
As the prelude begins, you are invited to begin your personal preparation for worship.

SILENT MEDITATION
“Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love.” Reinhold Niebuhr

CHORAL CALL TO WORSHIP
“The Heav’ns Resounding” (9:00) Ludwig van Beethoven

PRAISE AND ADORATION

HYMN OF PRAISE

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, in every age you have raised up men and women to live and die in faith. We confess that we are indifferent to your will. You call us to proclaim your name, but we are silent. You call us to do what is just, but we remain idle. You call us to live faithfully, but we are afraid. In your mercy, forgive us. Give us courage to follow in your way joining with those from ages past. May we serve you with faith, hope and love, and we may live into the kingdom you promised through the Jesus Christ.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
The Apostles’ Creed
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. Amen.
