The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.

    He rescues them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;

    he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

The righteous person faces many troubles,

    but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.

Psalm 34:17-19

God is Good

All the Time

All the TIme

God is good

-Unison Confession:

Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 

Almighty God of the prophets, 

you have called us to glorify your name 

through our love for you and for one another.  

We confess that our praise is more on our lips than with our lives.

We profess repentance while we resist change;

We talk of peace while we prepare for war;

We sing of love but we curse our enemies;

We pray your will be done but insist on our way.

Have mercy upon us, tender God, and cleanse and forgive our selfish ways.  

May Jesus Christ, who came long ago, come once more into our lives.  

Help us to be at peace with you, one another, and ourselves 

as members of your kingdom, 

which is now at hand—through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen

-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14

You are forgiven and free because of Christ Jesus

#457 Come Thou Fount

Who You Say I Am

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.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Essentials of the EPC

Q. What is the first essential? 

A. We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory and praise forever!
