GATHERING AROUND THE WORLD
PRELUDE ~ Meditation on "Olivet"
MEDITATION ~ Talking against religion is unchaining a Tiger; the Beast let loose may chew on his Deliverer. ~ Poor Richard (Ben Franklin)
CALL TO WORSHIP
We know that no one is justified by works of the law,
but by faith in Jesus Christ.
It is no longer we who live,
but Chris who lives in us.
Praise Jesus Christ our Lord!
*WORSHIP IN SONG ~ Hymn # 306 "Fairest Lord Jesus"
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy God, you take no delight in wickedness; evil will not sojourn with you, for you abhor violence and deceit.Yet we confess that we are often self-deceived, and in regard to our neighbors, our heart have been proud, covetous and resentful.
Time of Prayer and Silent Confession
Forgive us, O God, for indeed there is much to forgive. As your law convicts us, so let us die to our sin so that we might live to you. As it is no longer we who live, but Christ who loves in us, let us now live by faith in your Son, who loves us and gave himself for us. Then, through the abundance of your steadfast love, we shall enter your house and bow down in awe of you.
*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
...Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel.
GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
