Call to Worship (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Leader: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

People: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Opening Prayer

Prayer of Confession (in unison)

I confess that I have taken thy holy Name in vain, that I have often sworn falsely and lightly by the same, that I have not always professed it nor kept it holy as I ought; but even more, I have slandered it often and grossly with all my life, words, and deeds.

I confess that I have not kept thy Sabbath holy, that I have not heard thy holy Word with earnestness nor lived according to the same; moreover that I have not yielded myself fully to thy divine hand, nor rejoiced in thy work done in me and in others, but have often grumbled against it stoutly and have been impatient.

This I confess, in the name of Christ, Amen.

(Martin Bucer--1539)

Declaration of Forgiveness (Psalm 103:8,10-12)

Leader: The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.

People: For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Letter to the Hebrews tells us to approach worship "with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith" (Hebrews 10:22). Therefore let us sincerely lift up our hearts to the Lord and extend our hands in loving fellowship to one another. May God bless us all.
