3 RESPONSE TO THE WORD HYMN OF THE DAY Jesus Loves Me video projection I couldn t run, couldn t run from his presence. I couldn t run, couldn t run from his arms. I couldn t run, couldn t run from his presence. I couldn t run, couldn t run from his arms. He holds the stars and he holds my heart with healing hands that bear the scars; The rugged cross where he died for me, my only hope, my everything. He loves me. He is for me. In Christ, you have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. We believe in him and are marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 21) If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: Everything old has passed away; behold, everything has become new! (2 Corinthians 5:17) God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Therefore, let us be reconciled to God and to one another. Silence for reflection and self-examination. Gracious God, have mercy on us. In your compassion forgive us our sins, known and unknown, things done and left undone. Uphold us by your Spirit so that we may live and serve you in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your holy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen The almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, forgiveness, and remission of all our sins. Amen. PEACE Sisters and brothers, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace. (2 Corinthians 13:11) The peace of the Lord be with you always. And also with you. INSTRUMENTAL MUSICAL OFFERING Mark Sand and Ruth Sheldon 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.
