2 Order of Worship When we have nothing left but God, we discover that God is enough. Agnes Maude Royden Welcome to Worship Prelude Blanchard Fanfare and Canon on Praise to the Lord, the Almighty **Call to Worship Leader: We are marked as God s beloved ones. People: What have we done to deserve God s love? Leader: God s love is God s free gift to us, always and forever. People: Even when we are difficult and turn away from God, Leader: God s love never vanishes from us. People: Thanks be to God who is ever faithful to us, AMEN! **Hymn of Praise **Affirmation of Faith Wonderful Grace of Jesus In Bulletin I believe in the living God, who from the dust of earth calls up living beings to be children of eternity, and tirelessly seeks to bring victory out of defeat and life out of decay. I believe in Jesus the Christ, God s true Son, who was betrayed, crucified, dead and buried in a borrowed tomb, who on the third day was found to be gloriously alive, meeting with those who trust him and serve him to the end of the world. I believe in the Holy Spirit of God, who brings hope out of despair, love out of apathy, and joy out of sorrow, who unceasingly regenerates and reforms the church that it may always be the contemporary body of the risen Christ, loving the world through prayer, word and deed.
