Call to Worship: Romans 12:1

Hymn: Come, Thou Almighty King

Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Forgiveness:

Holy God, your name is excellent, your glory high, your compassion unfailing, your condescension wonderful, your mercy tender. We bless you for your promises of the gospel, for in them is pardon for rebels, liberty for captives, health for sick, salvation for the lost.  May your approval be our only aim, your Word our only rule. In many things we have offended, in all come short of your glory; pardon our iniquity, for it is great. This we ask in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Mediator.
