Responsive Call to Worship: Psalm 66: 1 – 5; Psalm 47: 6
Leader: Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!”
All: All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.
Leader: Come and see what God has done: He is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
All: Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
Prayer of Adoration
Hymn of Praise: Hymnal #2 (verses 1, 2, 5, 6) O Worship the King
We Confess Our Faith
Responsive Reading: Heidelberg Catechism 26
Leader: What do you believe when you say: “I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth”?
All: That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who out of nothing created heaven and earth and everything in them, who still upholds and rules them by his eternal counsel and providence, is my God and Father because of Christ the Son. I trust God so much that I do not doubt he will provide whatever I need for body and soul, and will turn to my good whatever adversity he sends upon me in this sad world. God is able to do this because he is almighty God and desires to do this because he is a faithful Father.
We Confess Our Sin
Responsive Reading: Psalm 130: 1 – 4
Leader: Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
All: If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
Silent Confession of Sin
Responsive Assurance of Pardon: Psalm 130: 5 – 6
Leader: I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning.
All: Hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. And he will redeem His people from all his iniquities.
Hymn of Assurance: Hymnal #461 Not What My Hands Have Done
We Give Thanks To The Lord

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
