A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

arr. Lehmann Elder Helen Turner Isaiah 33:5-6

GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP The Lord is exalted and dwells on high; God filled Zion with justice and righteousness; he will be the stability of your times, The Lord will be the stability of our times. *HYMN #476

from A Brief Statement of Faith *AFFIRMATION OF FAITH In a broken and fearful world, the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives.

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, whose face is hidden from us by our sins, and whose mercy we forget in the blindness of our hearts: have mercy on us. Forgive our sinful nature and our desire to serve our own will over yours. Help us to look outside ourselves, and see you more clearly. Free us to follow you in the world, living always in the name and for the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord. *SILENT PRAYERS OF PERSONAL CONFESSION *ASSURANCE OF PARDON Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! Amen. *GLORIA PATRI #579 TIME WITH YOUNG DISCIPLES GREATOREX

Our bondage it shall end by and by, and by, Our bondage it shall end by and by. From Egypts yoke set free, hail the glorious jubilee, And to Canaan well return by and by, and by. Our Delivrer He shall come by and by, and by, Our Delivrer He shall come by and by. And our sorrows have an end with our three-score years and ten, And vast glory crown the day by and by, and by.

And when to Jordans floods we are come, we are come, And when to Jordans floods we are come, Jehovah rules the tide and the waters Hell divide, And the ransomd host shall shout we are come, we are come. Then with all the happy throng well rejoice, well rejoice, And with all the happy throng well rejoice! Shouting Glory to our King, till the vaults of heaven ring, And thro all eternity well rejoice, well rejoice!
