Choral Introit At This Morning Time of Worship Dunlap
Call to Worship
Leader: O Lord our Constant God, through all our lives you have been a place of refuge to us.
People: Loving God, you allow us to shelter in your presence.
Leader: In all your upright powers, hear our cries, O God, as once again we come to you for security.
People: Save us from all the fears that separates us from our loving and saving God.
Leader: You, O God, are our strong fortress, our place of safety from all that threatens us.
People: Today, we come in prayer and praise, to honor and worship you and to forever praise your holy name. Amen.
Prayer of Adoration
*Hymn No 466 O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing Blue Hymnal
Call to Confession
Almighty Father; we enter your presence confessing the things we try to conceal from you and the things we try to conceal from others. We
confess the heartbreak, worry, and sorrow we have caused, that make it difficult for others to forgive us, the times we have made it easy for
others to do wrong, the harm we have done that makes it hard for us to forgive ourselves. Lord have mercy and forgive us through Christ. Amen.
Prayer of Confession (in unison)
God, our creator and redeemer, you never grow weary or faint but we have doubted your will or ability to care for us. We have said, “My
way is hidden from the Lord and my right is disregarded by my God.” We have let anxiety consume us and we have let fear paralyze love
for the poor and lonely. Forgive us for holding to our doubt. Free us to walk in faith and the strength of your mercy, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon
Hear the good news! Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is
in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know that you are forgiven and be at peace. Amen.
*Hymn No. 579 Gloria Patri Blue Hymnal
Anthem Peace Like A River/Amen! Wagner
We Proclaim God’s Word
Prayer of Illumination
Prepare our hearts, O God, to accept your Word. Silence in us any voice but your own, that, hearing, we may also obey your will through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O most merciful and gracious God, from whose open hand we all have received much: We ask you to accept this offering of your people.
Remember in your love those who have brought it. Remember also those persons and purposes for which it is given. So follow this
sacrifice with your blessing that it may promote peace and good will, and advance the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in
whose name we pray; Amen.
*Affirmation of Faith Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy
Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose
again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge
the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy catholic church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
