❖ Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your 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.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
❖ Prayer of Intercession
Guide us, O Lord, in all our doings, with your most gracious favor, and further us with your continual help, that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy name, and finally, by your mercy, obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

❖ Prayer for Illumination
Almighty God, and most merciful Father, we humbly submit ourselves, and fall down before your Majesty, asking you from the bottom of our hearts, that this seed of your Word now sown among us, may take such deep root, that neither the burning heat of persecution cause it to wither, nor the thorny cares of this life choke it. But that, as seed sown in good ground, it may bring forth thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold, as your heavenly wisdom has appointed. Amen.

❖ Praise
Glory be to God the Father;
Glory be to God the Son;
Glory be to God the Spirit, ever three and ever one:
As it was in the beginning, now and evermore shall be.

❖ Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only-begotten Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary;
suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
❖ Assurance of Pardon
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and cry to her
that her warfare is ended,
that her iniquity is pardoned,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.
[Isaiah 40:1–2]
❖ Confession of Sin
Lord, you are our Father and we are but dust and filth;
you are our Creator, and we are the work of your hands;
you are our Shepherd, we are your flock;
you are our Redeemer, we are the people that you have purchased;
you are our God, we are your inheritance.
Therefore, do not be angry with us to correct us in your fury.
No longer remember our iniquity to punish it,
but chastise us gently in your kindness.
Your wrath is kindled because of our demerits;
but remember that your name has been pronounced over us
and that we bear your mark and standard.
And continue, rather, the work that you have begun in us by your grace,
that all the earth might know that you are our God and our Savior. Amen.
[John Calvin]
❖ Reading of the Law
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.
[Matthew 22:37–40]
❖ Adoration
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him all creatures here below;
Praise him above you heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
[Doxology]
❖ Call to Worship
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
[Colossians 1:15–20]

❖ Prayer of Intercession
O Lord, our Savior, you have warned us that you will require much of those to whom much is given—grant that we whose lot is cast in so goodly a heritage may strive together the more abundantly to extend to others what we so richly enjoy; and as we have entered into the labors of other people, so to labor that in their turn other people may enter into ours, to the fulfillment of your holy will. Amen.
[Augustine]

Amen.
