Hymn - “The Church’s One Foundation” - #442 Prayer of Confession Glorious God, sometimes we look around us and see people doing marvelous things, then look at ourselves and find that we don’t compare. We minimize our own talents, believing that they are not as important as those granted to others. We believe that we don’t have anything to offer, so we offer nothing. Forgive us when we don’t understand that we each have unique gifts that matter equally when we use them in Your kingdom, for Your work, and to glorify Your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray today, Amen.

Anthem - “Be Thou My Vision” Abramsky Offering Prayer of Thanksgiving and the Lord’s Prayer Doxology 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.
