“God of Mercy, God of Grace”

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                  Psalm 92:1-4, 12-15

¹ It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;

² to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,

³ to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.

⁴ For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy…

¹² The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³ They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴ They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,

¹⁵ to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

We Believe

(Apostles Creed)

Refrain:   We believe in one true God; Father, Spirit, Son;

One Church, one faith, one Lord of all—His Kingdom come.

1. We believe in God the Father Almighty, Lord of Life;

Creator of the Heavens, the earth, the sea, the sky;

And we believe in Jesus, the only Son of God;

Born of the virgin Mary; He lived as one of us.                   (Refrain)

2. We believe that Jesus suffered, was beaten, crucified;

He died and He was buried; entombed in darkest night.

The third day rose victorious; ascended into Heaven;

Will one day come to judge us, the living and the dead.      (Refrain)

3. We believe in God the Spirit, One Church empowered by Him;

Communion of God’s people; forgiveness of our sin.

Our bodies resurrected to everlasting life;

To worship, love and wonder before the throne of Christ.   (Refrain)

We Respond to God’s Presence

Take Up Your Tambourines

I have drawn you with My loving kindness.

I have loved you with an everlasting love.

I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, Oh, virgin Israel.

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, …

So, take up your tambourines

and go out to dance with the children of Jerusalem.

Come, let us go up to Zion, and rejoice in holy celebration.

Sharing of the Elements

We invite to the Lord’s Table all those who are baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and are under the authority of Christ and His body, the Church. By eating the bread and drinking the wine with us as a visitor, you are acknowledging to the elders of this local church that you are in covenant with God and an active member of a congregation in which the gospel is faithfully confessed, taught, and believed. You also acknowledge that you are a sinner, without hope except in the sovereign mercy of God, and that you are trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you have any doubt about your participation, please speak to the elders before or after the service.
