Hymn - “Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine” - #341 Prayer of Confession God of tender mercies, we admit that sometimes we don’t know what to do with ourselves. We anger at the slightest insult and imagine great vengeance upon those who wronged us. We ignore the good news of our faith and forget the promises you have spoken to us. We care for ourselves but not for others. Forgive us, we pray. Help us to remember the blessings that You have given us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Sorenson - Unity Choir Offering Doxology The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper Affirmation 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 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.
