Call to Worship
 
Pastor: I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; day and night my heart instructs me.
Congregation: I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall never be shaken.
Pastor: Therefore, my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure.
Congregation: For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit.

Call to Confession
 
Since the God of our salvation has restored us to life and brought us back into his love by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us go before him with confidence, asking him to make us whole. Let us confess our sins together, saying:
 
Prayer of Confession (in unison)
 
Almighty God, you raised Jesus from the grave and crowned him Lord of all. We confess that we have not bowed before him or acknowledged him as our Lord and God. We have remained stubborn in our unbelief and gone along with the way of the world. Forgive us our sins and restore us, that we may be your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who rules the world and is head of the church, his body. Amen.
 
Kyrie
 
Assurance of Pardon
 
Pastor: You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways passed down from your ancestors, not with perishable things like gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God.
Congregation: Thanks be to God.
 
Gloria
 
Passing the Peace

Affirmation of Faith
 
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. He descended into hell. The third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 the life everlasting. Amen.
