Opening Hymn - “The Church’s One Foundation” #442 v 1, 2, 4, 5 - Prayer of Confession Almighty God, it is hard to see You working behind the scenes of our lives. We don’t trust that the plans that You have for us will work out for good. We don’t have the courage to step out in faith and be bold in our declarations of Your will for our lives. Forgive us for the times when we are timid and weak, when we believe that we are not equipped, and when we don’t try for fear of failure. Turn us into courageous disciples who bravely follow You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Anthem - “You Are Mine” by Larson - Unity Handbells 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.
