Prayer of Confession
Sovereign God, we admit that we often give You a moment here and there but fail to stop and spend quality time with You. We have so many other things to do, and so little time to do them in. Our calendars are full of events. Our workdays and our social lives demand so much. Forgive us for not making time to immerse ourselves in Your love and grace, to spend time in Your peace, recharging ourselves for the days ahead. Hold us and help us as we strive to be Your disciples who remain in Your presence always, Amen.

*Doxology

Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper Communion Anthem “In Remembrance”- Courtney Today, we receive communion by the ancient method of intinction. Please exit your pew to the left, come to the station at the front, receive the bread, dip it in the cup, and take both elements together before circling around to your seat. If walking is an issue, please remain seated and we will bring the elements to you.

*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.
