The Prelude

§ The Call to Worship                                                    
Isaiah 25:1,3,4
Leader: O LORD, You are our God; we will exalt You; we will praise Your Name, for You have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
People: Strong peoples will glorify You; cities of ruthless nations will fear You. For You have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.

§ The Hymn of Adoration                
O Worship the King

The Prayer of Adoration and Confession (Unison)
  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.
      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, the power, and the glory forever.  Amen

For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

§ The Confession of Faith                      
Heidelberg Catechism Q/A #1
Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
A. That I am not my own, but belong— body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him.

           ye heavenly host:
       Praise the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
