§ 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.
The Assurance of Pardon
2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Heidelberg Catechism Question #46-49
Leader: What do you mean by saying, “He ascended to heaven”?
People: That Christ, while His disciples watched, was taken up from the earth into heaven and remains there on our behalf until He comes again to judge the living and the dead.
Leader: But isn’t Christ with us until the end of the world as He promised us?
People: Christ is true human and true God. In His human nature Christ is not now on earth; but in His divinity, majesty, grace, and Spirit He is never absent from us.
Leader: If His humanity is not present wherever His divinity is, then aren’t the two natures of Christ separated from each other?
People: Certainly not. Since divinity is no limited and is present everywhere, it is evident that Christ’s divinity is surely beyond the bounds of the humanity that has been taken on, but at the same time His divinity is in and remains personally untied to His humanity.
Leader: How does Christ’s ascension to heaven benefit us?
People: First, He is our Advocate in heaven in the presence of His Father.
Second, we have our own Flesh in heaven as a sure pledge that Christ our head will also take us His members, up to Himself.
Third, He sends His Spirit to us on earth as a corresponding pledge. By the Spirit’s power we seek not earthly things but the things above, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand.
