*Hymn of Praise- O God beyond All Praising: Trinity Psalter Hymnal No. 241
*Prayer of Adoration and Invocation
*Public Confession of Sin
Our Father, you are righteous in all your ways and kind in all your works. No power can threaten you, no force can affect you, no influence can manipulate you. Your authority is supreme, and all rulers have been instituted by you. Often, we have sinned by resisting and abusing the authorities you have appointed. Against those above us we have rebelled, about them we have complained, and to them we have sometimes been a discredit. From them we have at times withheld due reverence in heart, word, and behavior. With those below us we have frequently been harsh, impatient, careless, and inattentive. From them we have withheld love, prayer, blessing, and encouragement. Many things you have commanded we have failed to perform. Other things forbidden we have too readily carried out. We fall short of your glory and have dishonored your name. Please forgive us for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
*Confession of Faith - The Apostles’ 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 sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He
shall come to judge the living 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.
** i.e. his being buried, and continuing in the state of the dead, and under the power of death
till the third day.
