Call to Worship

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”


Matt. 28:18-20

Confession and Pardon

-Invitation

-Unison Confession:


Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 


As you have promised, 

give us your goodness in place of our wickedness.  

Silence all cruel slanderers and accusers, 

those who magnify our faults, and the devil.  

Do so now and whenever our consciences are worried.  

Judge us not by the evidence of the devil 

and by our own depressed consciences. 

Take from our souls 

the heavy burden of all our sins, 

so that with clear, joyful, and sincere consciences 

we may endure and do all things, 

and live and die fully confident of your mercy.  Amen.


-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:


“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.”


Isaiah 1:18


I declare to you who trust in Jesus, you are forgiven and free!

Essential of the EPC


Q. What is the third essential in the EPC?


  1. A. The third essential is “ The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior, indwelling our hearts. He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.
