10 THE CALL TO WORSHIP [ Pastor / CONGREGATION ]

11 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

12 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tent for the sun.

13 JOY TO THE WORLD #270

14 (1) Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King. Let every heart, prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

15 (2) Joy to the world! The Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, Repeat the sounding joy.

16 (3) No more let sin and sorrow grow, Nor thorns infest the ground. He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found.

17 (4) He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love.

19 Congregational Prayer of Confession ALL: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love. My sin has been against You, although others have been hurt as well. It is against You that I have rebelled. It is against You that I have been angry and yet it is to You that I cry for mercy!

20 Even with my best intentions sin seems ever to creep in. Even with my firmest resolve I keep on sinning. Wash me, that I be clean, fresh, and new. Cleanse me, that I have integrity, that I do right from inside out.

21 Purge me, that I be pure with a strong purity. In the name of Christ deliver me, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of Your deliverance.

22 SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

23 ASSURANCE OF PARDON (John 15.5, 8) Minister: I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples.
