ORGAN PRELUDE
WELCOME and CALL to WORSHIP
(Verses from Psalm 66)
Praise God with shouts of joy, all people!
Sing to the glory of his name;
offer him glorious praise!
Say to God: “How wonderful are the things
you do! Everyone on earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
they sing praises to your name.
Hymn 757 * Come, all you people…

Come and see what God has done,
his wonderful acts for humankind.
He rules for ever by his might
and keeps his eyes on the nations.
Praise our God, all nations;
let your praise be heard.
He has kept us alive
and not allowed us to fall.
Hymn 757 * Come, all you people…
Come and listen, all who honour God,
and I will tell you what he has done for me.
I cried to him for help;
I praised him with songs.
God has indeed heard me;
he has listened to my prayer.;
I praise God, for he did not reject my prayer
or keep back his constant love from me.
Hymn 757 * Come, all you people…
PRAYER of CONFESSION
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all
desires known, and from whom no secrets are
hidden; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by
the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may
perfectly magnify your holy name; through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Lord God, Holy and Immortal, we confess
that we have broken your commandments;
we have sinned by selfishness, unbelief, and
pride; we have not acted justly, loved mercy
nor walked humbly with you.
In the fullness of your mercy, blot out our
misdeeds; in your loving-kindness, wash away
our sin. Give us a willing spirit and the
chastened heart you do not despise; and help
us to forgive others as you forgive us; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
WORDS of ASSURANCE
Almighty God have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in life eternal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hymn 157 * Sing of the Lord’s goodness

Father, now and forever. Amen.

and ever. Amen.
