Prayer of Confession of S O most mighty God, and merciful Far, who has compassion upon all men, and who wills not death of a sner, but rar that he should turn from his s, and be saved; mercifully forgive us our trespasses; receive and comfort us, who are grieved and wearied with burden of our ss. Your disposition is always to have mercy; it is Your character to forgive ss. Spare us refore, good Lord, spare Your people, whom You have redeemed; enter not to judgment with Your servants; but so turn Your anger from us, who meekly acknowledge our transgressions, and truly repent of our faults, and so make haste to help us this world, that we may ever live with You world to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Extendg Kgdom: Sanctity of Human Life 9:30/11:00 Anna Christian * Scripture Readg John 3.121 Now re was a man of Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God, for no one can do se signs that You do unless God is with him." 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born aga he cannot see kgdom of God." 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time to his mor's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter kgdom of God. 6 That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born aga.' 8 The wd blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of Spirit." 9 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can se thgs be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand se thgs? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly thgs and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly thgs? 13 No one has ascended to heaven except He who descended from heaven, Son of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up serpent wilderness, so must Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes Him may have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes Him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son to world to condemn world, but order that world might be saved through Him. 18 Whoever believes Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed name of only Son of God. 19 And this is judgment: light has come to world, and people loved darkness rar than light because ir works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked thgs hates light and does not come to light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out God." 4
