Call to Worship

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.

Psalm 149:1-5

Let us confess our sins

Prayer of Confession (unison)

Have mercy on us, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion.  Blot out our transgression.  Wash away all our iniquity and cleanse us from our sin.  For we know our transgressions, and our sin is always before us.  Against you, you only have we sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.

Private Confession

Assurance of Forgiveness:   Isaiah 53:4-5

Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.  But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
