Call to Worship
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away
Rev. 21:3-4

Confession and Pardon
-Invitation
-Unison Confession:
Let us confess our sin before God and one another.
Almighty and merciful God,
we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much
the devices and desires of our own hearts.
We have offended against your holy laws.
We have left undone those things which we ought to have done;
and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.
O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Spare those who confess their faults.
Restore those who are penitent,
according to your promises declared to the world
in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
And grant, O merciful God, for his sake,
that we may live a holy, just, and humble life
to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
-Silent prayer
-Assurance of Pardon:
Hear the good news from the book of Acts
And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
Acts:2:21
I declare to you who trust in Jesus, you are forgiven and free!

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

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