Savior, like a shepherd lead us,

Much we need Thy tender care;

In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,

For our use Thy folds prepare:

Blessèd Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Thou hast bought us, Thine we are;

Blessèd Jesus, blessed Jesus,

Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.

The Confession of Faith

The Nicene Creed

 

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. 

 

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. 

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy *catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

 

*catholic= The Christian church of all times & places

Isaiah 58:1-14,  p. 578

 

Westminster Shorter Catechism (#60-62)

 

M: How is the sabbath to be sanctified?

P: The sabbath or Lord's Day, which is given for man's good and as a pointer to his eternal destiny, is to be kept holy by resting all that day from our work and recreations, and spending the whole time in the public and private worship, except the time spent in works of necessity and mercy.

 

M: What is forbidden in the fourth commandment?

P: The fourth commandment forbids the omission or careless performance of the duties required, and the misuse of the day by idleness, sinful acts, or unnecessary thoughts, words or works about our worldly affairs and recreations.

 

M: What are the reasons attached to the fourth commandment?

P: The reasons attached to the fourth commandment are God's allowance of six days for worldly tasks, his claim to special ownership of the seventh, his own example, and his blessing of the sabbath day.

The Confession of Sin

Unison: Cleanse me from my secret faults, O Lord, and forgive those offenses to your servant of which I have caused in others. I contend not in judgment with you, who are truth; I fear to deceive myself, lest my sin should make me think that I am not sinful. Therefore I contend not in judgment with you; for if you, Lord, should mark iniquities, who shall abide it? Amen.

The Assurance of Pardon

Minister

Minister: The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

Edify Women: Flourish 

Calling Edify ladies in all seasons of life to join us for an enriching Bible study on the book of Ecclesiastes, using Lydia Brownback's Flourish study guide! In the words of Pastor Darrell Harrison from our recent retreat Q&A, "Ecclesiastes, more than any other book, gets you equipped to deal with the passage of time. It confronts you with the brevity of life." So let's invest our time wisely, growing in the knowledge of our Lord together. Sign-up link will be sent through email.
