WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
PRELUDE
The prelude is a sacred curtain dropped between the world and our time of
worship. During this time of preparation, you are encouraged to pray
silently, asking the Holy Spirit to enable you to cling to and delight yourself
in Christ.
(PLEASE SILENCE ALL PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES.)
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Pastor Dick Jones
*AFFIRMATION OF PRAISE (#598)
“Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”
*COLLECTIVE CONFESSION
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge
of all men; We acknowledge that we were conceived and born in iniquity,
and mourn our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we, from time to
time, most grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against
Your Divine Majesty, Provoking most justly Your wrath and indignation
against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our
misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The burden of
them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us, most
merciful Father; For Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us
all that is past; And grant that we may hereafter Serve and please You In
newness of life, To the honour and glory of Your Name; Through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
(1 John 1:8, 9)
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is
not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
The Gospel of Christ
Based on 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 & Romans 4:25
Unison:
For the gospel has been given to us, that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was
raised on the third day according to the Scriptures for our justification.
PSALTER
“Psalm 107:1-9”

Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

*MORNING PRAYER (CLOSING WITH “THE LORD’S PRAYER”)
Our father, who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy 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 Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Psalm 107:1-9
O praise the Lord, for He is good; His mer- cies still en - dure;
Their wear - y soul with -in them faints when thirst and hun - ger press;
Let them give thanks un-to the Lord for
all His kind - ness shown,
Thus say the ran -somed of the Lord, from all their foes se - cure.
In
trou -ble to the Lord they cried; He saved them from dis-tress.
And for His works so won- der- ful which He to men makes known.
He gath -ered them from out the lands, from north, south, east and west.
He made the way be- fore them straight, and he be- came their guide.
Be- cause the lon-ging soul by Him with food is sat - is - fied;
They wan-dered in the wil - der - ness, No
cit - y found to rest.
That they might to a
cit - y go in which they would a- bide.
The hun- gry s oul that looks to Him with good-ness is sup-plied.
Sung to the tune of There is a Fountain Filled with Blood

MISSION STATEMENT
Our purpose is to establish and build a church which is pleasing to God.
During that historic period known as The Reformation,
men of great courage and conviction set about to
reform a church which had departed from many of the
essential truths of orthodox Christianity. These
truths are often referred to as the solas.
The Latin phrases are:
SOLA SCRIPTURA or THE SCRIPTURE ALONE!
SOLUS CHRISTUS or CHRIST ALONE!
SOLA GRATIA or GRACE ALONE!
SOLE FIDE or FAITH ALONE!
and
SOLI DEO GLORIA or TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
