2 ASSEMBLE IN GOD S NAME WELCOME Reverend Cameron Smith SPRING MISSION PROJECT PRELUDE Adagio form Voluntary VI John Stanley CALL TO WORSHIP Those who went ahead and those who followed Jesus shouted Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest! Therefore, I love the Lord, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy. Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. Come; shout Hosanna! Let us worship the name of the Lord! *PROCESSIONAL HYMN 197 Hosanna, Loud Hosanna ELLACOMBE CONFESSION Loving God, without Your grace we are like sheep without a shepherd. Sometimes we are harassed by sin and feel hopeless against its power. Sometimes, in our sin, we use our own power to harass the helpless. We are wolves in sheep s clothing, innocent as serpents and wise as doves. Forgive us, O Lord, and bring us home. Restore us to Your flock and fold we pray; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 RESPOND TO GOD S GRACE *HYMN 224 When I Surveyed the Wondrous Cross ROCKINGHAM *AFFIRMATION OF FAITH 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 at 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. PASTORAL PRAYER LORD S PRAYER Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
