THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP
THE DOXOLOGY
“Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow”
THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Sing to the Lord a new song; Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise His name; Proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds
among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise!
The OPENING SONG
”And Are We Yet Alive”
And are we yet alive, And see each other's face?
Glory and praise to Jesus give For His redeeming grace.
Preserved by power divine To full salvation here,
Again in Jesus' praise we join, And in His sight appear.
What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we passed,
Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last.
But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by His love;
And still He doth His help afford, And hides our life above.
Then let us make our boast Of His redeeming power,
Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more.
Let us take up the cross Till we the crown obtain;
And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain.
THE PRAYER
THE SCRIPTURE
Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Minister: This is the Word of the Lord to the people of God.
People: Thanks be to God!

The General Confession
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed against Thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly Thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please Thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Thy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Sharing of the Elements
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
