Meditation Passage
Psalm 18:1-3
I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
* Apostolic Greeting
Corinthians 1:2-3
To the church of God . . . , to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
* God Calls His People to Worship
Psalm 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah.
* Invocation
God Commands His People:
Exodus 20:2-3
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.
We Confess Our Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
Confession of Sin
(Silent confession followed by corporate confession)
Almighty and eternal Father, we confess that our hearts and minds have wandered from you as the only source of true blessedness and joy. We have not found our full comfort, delight, and contentment in you and in you alone. Forgive us for our foolish pursuit of worthless idols. Rid us of longings for anything above you. By the Spirit of your Son who dwells within us, cause us to give our lives unto your worship and glory. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Psalm 32:1-2
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
* We Praise God in Song

Our Father who is 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.

Amen.
