CALL TO WORSHIP The Rev. Stuart Seelman

One: Our help is in the name of the Lord, Many: Maker of heaven and earth.

One: I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord. Many: Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, One: And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die

Many: Let us worship the Lord our God.

† HYMN O Lord My God HOW GREAT THOU ART (All of today’s hymns are printed after the order of worship.)

† PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of mercy, whose loving-kindness endures forever: we confess that often we have failed to receive and give love, to care for others as we care for ourselves, to forgive and accept forgiveness. We remember good intentions that were not put into action, harsh words that were hurtful, selfish purposes that caused pain, and persistent pride that would not yield. Forgive us and help us to forgive others; heal us from the pain of self-condemnation; free us from the burden of failures that cannot be corrected; renew us with your loving assurance through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.

† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Apostles’ 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.

ANTHEM Lord of the Small Dan Forrest

Praise to the Lord of the small, broken things, who sees the poor sparrow that cannot take wing, who loves the lame child, and the wretch in the street, who comforts their sorrows and washes their feet. Praise to the Lord of the faint and afraid, who girds them with courage and lends them His aid; He pours out His Spirit on vessels so weak that the timid can serve and the silent can speak. Praise to the Lord of the frail and the ill, who heals their afflictions, or carries them till they leave this tired frame and to paradise fly, to never be sick, and never to die, never die. Praise Him, O praise Him, all ye who yet live, who’ve been given so much and can so little give, our frail, lisping praise God will never despise: He sees His children through mercy-filled eyes.
