If we rest secure in our abundance, while all about us others go hungry and their lives are imperiled, what has become of our call to share the good news? You know our inmost selves, O God. We cannot hide from you. Forgive our betrayal of your Son, and restore us to fellowship with Him. In Jesus name we pray, Amen. * SILENT CONFESSION * ASSURANCE OF PARDON Leader: Jesus said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

4 * 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. * HYMN OF DEDICATION: Onward, Christian Soldiers... (words below) Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before: Christ the royal Master leads against the foe; forward into battle, see, His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before. Like a mighty army moves the Church of God; brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope and doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before. Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, but the Church of Jesus constant will remain; Gates of hell can never gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ s own promise, and that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before. Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng, blend with ours your voices in the triumph song; glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King; This through countless ages men and angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before. * CHARGE AND BENEDICTION * CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE... Jesus Call Us O'er the Tumult Jesus calls us!
