Hymn - “God of Grace and God of Glory” - #420 Verses 1, 3, 4 Prayer of Confession God of Grace, we come to You today as people who are thankful for second chances. We know that we get things wrong time and time again, and are grateful that we are allowed to get back up, try again, and still be Your beloved children. Forgive us when we take that for granted. Forgive us for assuming there will always be another chance, and help us to make the most of what you are asking us to do right here and right now, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Anthem - “One Step He Leads” - Choplin Offering 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.
