WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
§CALL TO WORSHIP
Isaiah 6:1-3 (Responsively)
Minister:
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:
All: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
All: Amen.

CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
All: Grant, Almighty God, that since you have been pleased to show to us the way in which we cannot err, provided we obey You – O grant that we may render ourselves really teachable and ready to obey, and never undertake anything but what we know is approved by You nor turn aside on the right hand or the left; but continue in that form of worship You have prescribed to us in Your Word, so what we may be able to bear witness, not only before the world, but before You and the holy angels, that we obediently follow You. Forgive us, Father, for our wandering and wavering in all that you command us. Please help us to love you and others as you have told us to do. We fall short. We are ashamed. Please forgive us for Christs’ sake. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Ephesians 1:3-7
Minister:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.
All: Amen.
