Silence

Pause in silence to prepare your heart and become present to God.

Call to Worship

Receive God’s call to worship from his word:

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How
unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
“For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
“Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be
glory forever.
Amen.

Romans 11:33-36

Adoration

Sing or say this praise to God:

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be:
world without end.
Amen.

Gloria Patri

Confession of Sin

Confess your sin to God:

We plead for you to hear us, good Lord.
May it please you to give us true repentance;
to forgive us all our sin, negligence, and ignorance,
and to provide us with the grace of your Holy Spirit,
to amend our lives according to your holy word.
We plead for you to hear us, good Lord.
Son of God, we plead for you to hear us.
O Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world;
Grant us your peace.
O Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world;
Have mercy upon us.
O Christ, hear us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

Book of Common Prayer (1662)

Assurance of Grace

Receive the good news of God’s grace for sinners:

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from
all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:7-9

Hymn | Great is thy faithfulness

Sing or say this hymn:

Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with thee;
thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not;
as thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.

Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all I have needed thy hand hath provided,
great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon, and stars in their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Thomas Chisholm

Nicene Creed (Part 1)

Affirm what you believe together with the historical church:

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures;
and ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
and he shall come again, with glory,
to judge the living and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.

Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer

Pray these words that Jesus taught us to pray:

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your 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 yours is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever.
Amen.

Benediction

Go forth with this blessing from God’s word:

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.
Amen.
