†STATEMENT OF FAITH Excerpt from the Second Helvetic Confession
Secondly, in the regenerate a weakness remains. For since sin dwells in us,
and in the regenerate the flesh struggles against the Spirit till the end of our
lives, they do not easily accomplish in all things what they had planned.
Therefore that free will is weak in us on account of the remnants of the old
Adam and of innate human corruption remaining in us until the end of our
lives. For believers ought always to keep in mind what St. Augustine so
many times inculcated according to the apostle: "What have you that you
did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a
gift?" To this he adds that what we have planned does not immediately come
to pass. For the issue of things lies in the hand of God. And this also is the
reason the free will is weak.
†HYMN 829 My Faith Looks Up to Thee Congregation
†BENEDICTION
†BENEDICTION RESPONSE Congregation
There’s a path… and it leads us out together
To the wood… where the darkness hovers still.
We are sent… and the Spirit goes before us.
God says, “Go”… Be my presence in the world.
†POSTLUDE
†All those able, please stand
NOW THE SERVICE BEGINS
Reflection Question: When was a time you felt weak? How has God’s power
been made known to you in your times of weakness?

Winter Worship Series: Gifts of the Dark Wood This worship series is about “seeing life through new eyes, recognizing that experiences of failure, emptiness, and uncertainty are as critical for finding our way through life as
they are unavoidable.” We will see how experiences of life through the “dark wood” actually open us to God’s lessons of new growth.
