Prelude “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks” E. Childs
Welcome Haven't we known? Haven't we heard?
Haven't we been told this since the beginning: Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Hymn 310: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
1 I love thy kingdom, Lord,
the house of thine abode,
the church our blest Redeemer saved
with his own precious blood.
2 I love thy church, O God.
Her walls before thee stand,
dear as the apple of thine eye,
and graven on thy hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall;
for her my prayers ascend;
to her my cares and toils be given,
till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways:
her sweet communion, solemn vows,
her hymns of love and praise.
5 Sure as thy truth shall last,
to Zion shall be given
the brightest glories earth can yield,
and brighter bliss of heaven.
Prayer of Confession
God, you are everlasting, the creator of everything that is.
Your understanding is beyond all measure. We confess to you that we have sinned against you and our neighbors. In your compassion, forgive us, and teach us what you require to live a holy life. Teach us to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly beside you.
And now, in this time of silence, please hear the cries of our hearts.
Words of Forgiveness
Friends, our God heals the brokenhearted and binds up our wounds. In Jesus, we are forgiven.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy 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 thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
Hymn 741: Guide My Feet
