Welcome and Announcements                              
Rev. Robie Hembree
  • Reformation Sunday – October 26, 2025--Today we join Christians around the world in celebrating Reformation Sunday, remembering God’s gracious work in renewing His Church through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We give thanks for the faithful witness of reformers who proclaimed the good news that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. May this same Spirit continue to reform our hearts and churches in the truth of God’s Word.

The Prelude

§ The Call to Worship                            
 Joel 1:14; Deuteronomy 4:31
Leader: Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God.

§ The Prayer of Confession

The Assurance of Pardon                                      
Colossians 2:13-14
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross.

§ Confession of Faith      
Heidelberg Catechism             Question #112
Leader: What is the aim of the ninth commandment?
People: That I never give false testimony against anyone, twist no one’s words, not gossip or slander, nor join in condemning anyone rashly or without a hearing. Rather, in court and everywhere else, I should avoid lying and deceit of every kind; these are the very devices the devil uses, and they would call down on me God’s intense wrath. I should love the truth, speak it candidly, and openly acknowledge it. And I should do what I can to guard and advance my neighbor’s good name.
