Welcome
We begin our prayers with praise because Jesus instructed that prayer begins with who God is, where He is, and with an active longing that our kingdoms become more like His.

God Summons Us

Call to Worship

Leader: In you, O Lord, we take refuge; let us never be put to shame;

All : in your righteousness deliver us!

Leader: Incline your ear to us; rescue us speedily!

All: Be a rock of refuge for us, a strong fortress to save us!

Leader: For you are our rock and fortress;

All: and for your name's sake you lead us and guide us;

Leader: We will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,

All: We trust in you, O Lord; and we say "You are our God."

Leader: Love the Lord, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

All: Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD.

Adapted from Psalm 31

SING Hymnal #067 - All Creatures of Our God and King

Is He Worthy
by Andrew Peterson and Ben Shive

Do you feel the world is broken?
We do.
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
We do.
But do you know that all the dark won't stop
The light from getting through?
We do.
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do.

Is all creation groaning?
It is.
Is a new creation coming?
It is.
Is the glory of the Lord to be
The light within our midst?
It is.
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this?
It is.

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Is He worthy, is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy of this? He is.

Does the Father truly love us?
He does.
Does the Spirit move among us?
He does.
And does Jesus our Messiah hold
Forever those He loves?
He does.
Does our God intend to dwell again with us?
He does.

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From ev'ry people and tribe, every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God to reign with the Son.

Is He worthy, is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy, is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?

He is.
He is.
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
He is.
He is.
He is worthy. He is worthy.
He is.

Liturgy

Silent Personal Confession
The Psalmist models a transparent faith with these words,
"23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!”
One way we express our longing for God’s leading is through our own transparent confession.

Unison Confession
God of everlasting love,
we confess that we have been unfaithful
to our covenant with you and with one another.
We have worshiped other gods: money, power, greed, and convenience.
We have served our own self-interest
instead of serving only you.
We have not loved our neighbor as you have commanded.
Forgive us, gracious God,
and bring us back into the fullness
of our covenant with you and one another.
Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Declaration of Forgiveness
The grace, mercy, forgiveness and peace of Christ, through the Holy Spirit, has preceded us in this moment. We are a forgiven and strengthened people because of the Father Heart of God, the work of Jesus Christ, and the indwelling, unfailing love of the Holy Spirit. Amen

The Lord Is Gracious And Compassionate
by Graham Ord

The Lord is gracious and compassionate
Slow to anger and rich in love
The Lord is gracious and compassionate
Slow to anger and rich in love

And the Lord is good to all
And He has compassion
On all that He has made

As far as the east is from the west
That's how far He has removed
Our transgressions from us

Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing)
Words and Music by Chris Tomlin and Robert Robinson

Come Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

How Your kindness yet pursues me
How Your mercy never fails me
'Til the day that death shall loose me
I will sing oh I will sing

Oh to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Lord’s Supper

Children: Why do we give thanks and praise before this table?

All: We give thanks for God’s work of creation, liberation, and salvation.

Elder: It is indeed right, our duty and delight, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to you, O holy Lord, eternal God.

You created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them; you made us in your own image; and in countless ways you show us your mercy. Therefore, with choirs of angels and the whole company of heaven, we worship and adore your glorious name, joining our voices in their unending praise:

All: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Elder: All glory and blessing are yours, O holy God, for in your mercy you gave your only Son, Jesus Christ. He took our human nature and suffered death on the cross for our redemption. There he made a perfect sacrifice for the sins for the whole world. We praise you that before he suffered and
died, our Savior gave us this holy sacrament and commanded us to continue it until he comes again.

Children: Why do we eat bread at this table?

Elder: On the night before he died, Jesus took bread. After giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat. This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Children: Why do we drink from the cup at this table?

Elder: The same night Jesus took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant sealed in my blood, shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Children: What do we remember at this table?

Elder: We remember God’s gracious love for us, Christ’s death and resurrection for us, and the Spirit’s tender care for us. Let us proclaim the mystery of faith:

All: Dying, you destroyed our death; rising, you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory.

Elder: Merciful God, pour out your Holy Spirit on these gifts of bread and wine, that in eating and drinking we may be made one with Christ and one another.

All: Amen.

Elder: Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, now and forever.

All: Amen.
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, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
—based on 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Your Glory
by Leslie Jordan

My life is Yours
And my hope is in You only
And my heart You hold
'Cause You made this sinner holy
And holy holy

'Cause Your glory is so beautiful
I fall onto my knees in awe
And the heartbeat of my life
Is to worship in Your light
'Cause Your glory is so beautiful
'Cause Your glory is so beautiful

Glory glory hallelujah
Jesus You are good

Closing Song

Majestic
by Lincoln Brewster

O Lord our Lord
How majestic is Your name
In all the earth (repeat)

The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains they bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth
And I'll give my praise to You
I will worship You (x4)
We will worship You (x2)

The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains they bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth and I'll sing

The heavens declare Your greatness
The oceans cry out to You
The mountains they bow down before You
So I'll join with the earth
And I'll give my praise to You
