PRELUDE

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

arr. Bennett Trustee Bea Clamp Elder Lee Terry John 3:17

NEW TESTAMENT LESSON SERMON *HYMN #274

17:16Acts 17:16-34 The End of Ignorance O God of Earth and Space

GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS PRESENTATION OF ALICE BROWN SCHOLARSHIPS

CALL TO WORSHIP God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, But in order that the world might be saved through him. *HYMN #263

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

ST. DENIO

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) We cast ourselves on Your mercy, O God, confessing that we ignore the truth You give in Jesus Christ. We willfully ignore the needs of others, unaware of their pain. You give us Your Word and Your way, yet we persist in selsh and thoughtless ways of our own. Help us to trust when nothing seems trustworthy, to hope when everything seems hopeless; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. SILENT PRAYERS OF PERSONAL CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON Believe the Good News: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! AMEN. *GLORIA PATRI #579 GREATOREX

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (from Belonging to God: A First Catechism) Question 32: What is the Gospel? The Gospel is the good news about Jesus. It promises us the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life because of him. Forgiveness and eternal life with God are what we mean by salvation. Question 37: How do we know this good news? Through reading the Bible and hearing it taught and preached. The Holy Spirit inspired those who wrote the Bible and helps us rely on its promises today.
