*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Leader: Trust in the Lord at all times, O peoples of the earth!
People: We will pour out our hearts before our God!
Leader: God is your refuge and your strength, a very present help in trouble!
People: We will trust, and not be afraid!
*INTROIT:…………………………………………………………………………………………………………...#685
INVOCATION: O God, you are a faithful lover of our souls. We trust you, for you do good all the days of your life. You create with willing hands, rejoicing in your labor.
You open your hands to the poor and reach out to the needy. Let us love you as you love us. Then we will love our neighbors as you love them.
*HYMN:..……………………………………”O How I Love Jesus”……………...………………………..#266
*
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is one true church, apostolic and universal, whose faith let us now reverently and sincerely declare.
What do we believe?
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ
His only son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost. Born of the Virgin
Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried, the third day He rose from the dead He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
(Holy Catholic Church means the church universal not the Roman Catholic Church.)
