Responsive Call to Worship: Psalm 20: 5; Isaiah 12: 2, 4
Leader: May we shout for joy over God’s salvation, and in the name of our God, set up our banners!
All: Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
Leader: Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.
Prayer of Adoration
Hymn of Praise: Our God Reigns
We Confess Our Faith
Responsive Reading: The Apostles’ Creed
We Confess Our Sin
Call to Confession: Isaiah 1: 18
Leader: Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
Silent Confession of Sin
Responsive Prayer of Confession: From Psalm 51
Leader: Have mercy on us, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out our transgressions.
All: Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin! For we know our transgressions, and our sin is ever before us.
Leader: Against you, you only, have we sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.
All: Hide your face from our sins, and blot out all our iniquities.
Leader: Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.
All: Cast us not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from us.
Leader: Restore to us the joy of your salvation, and uphold us with a willing spirit.
All: Our sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Assurance of Pardon: Romans 6: 22 – 23
Leader: But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
