Call to Worship
I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever;
with my mouth I will make your faithfulness
known through all generations.
I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
—Psalm 89:1-2 (NIV)
And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died he for me who caused his pain
For me who him to death pursued
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
He left his Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength
(repeat)
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all my strength
I will serve the Lord
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength
(repeat)

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind and
With all my strength

Confession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
—Apostles’ Creed
Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man
Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown
Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast
Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man
Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

Prayer of Confession
Faithful and Loving Father,
forgive our sin and wash us.
Cleanse us of ungrateful hearts.
Rid us of ugly pride.
Convict us of rebellious thoughts and actions.
Forgive when we fail to love
what you have made good,
and when we love what you
have told us to hate.
Wash us and make us whole.
Restore us.
Renew our love for you.
And rekindle in us a passion
for our lost and broken world.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Mercy
I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
Where the wrath I deserve it is gone it has passed
Your blood has hidden me
Mercy mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity
We will lift up the cup and the bread we will break
Remembering your love
We are fallen from grace but you take all our shame
And nail it to a cross
Mercy mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity
Mercy mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen
I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
