Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn “God of Our Fathers”
God of our fathers Whose Almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise
Thy love divine hath led us in the past
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast
Be Thou our Ruler Guardian Guide and Stay
Thy word our law Thy paths our chosen way
From war's alarms from deadly pestilence
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense
Thy true religion in our hearts increase
Thy bounteous goodness Nourish us in peace
Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way
Lead us from night to never ending day
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine
And glory laud and praise be ever Thine
Amen!

Affirmation of Faith “The Apostle’s Creed”
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who
was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and
buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on
the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in
the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church*, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the
body, and the life everlasting. Amen
Closing Hymn “Once to Every Man and Nation”
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide
In the strife of truth with falsehood for the good or evil side
Some great cause some great decision offering each the bloom or blight
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light
By the light of burning martyrs Christ Thy bleeding feet we track
Toiling up new Calvaries ever with the cross that turns not back
New occasions teach new duties time makes ancient good uncouth
They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth
Though the cause of evil prosper yet the truth alone is strong
Though her portion be the scaffold and upon the throne be wrong
Yet that scaffold sways the future and behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow keeping watch above His own
Benediction
