*Hymn 485 To God Be The Glory Blue Hymnal
Call to Confession
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are poor in spirit. Yet, in our pride, we refuse to admit our brokenness and instead
walk about as if we have life under control.
Let us admit our brokenness to God in whom we find mercy and forgiveness.
Prayer of Confession (in unison)
Gracious God, we come poor in spirit, seeking your forgiveness. We come in meekness seeking your redemption. We come confessing
our sin, seeking your restoration. Heal us of our brokenness and cleanse us of our sin that we might continue to follow Christ.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon
Jesus promises that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. The first step is confessing our sin and embracing the
forgiveness God extends to us. In Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven. We have been healed and restored. Thanks be to God.

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;

Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our
salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for
us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into
heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose
kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father, and the Son, who with the Father and the Son
together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge
one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
