Minute for Mission

Choral Call to Worship “Celebrate” Carol Saylor, 1980 Celebrate, come celebrate. Join in as God’s people in worship and singing.

Celebrate, come celebrate. Rejoice as we witness His love. As we follow the path of life, may His strength be shown.

Celebrate, come celebrate His loving us as His own.

Opening Sentences Elder Dan Robinson Leader: God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year. All: God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; Leader: nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, All: when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

*Hymn #19 "God of Great and God of Small” GOD OF GREAT AND SMALL

“The present is the only time in which any duty may be done or grace received.”

C.S. Lewis

“Oh, how precious time is, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any

good purpose.” David Brainerd,

18th century American

missionary to Native

Americans who died at the age

of 29.

*Unison Prayer of Confession Gracious God, we are a people formed by your Word in Christ; but we have wandered away from your truth, we have broken your commandments, we have distorted your teachings to serve our own ends, we have failed to trust your promises, we have refused your mercy. Ground us again, O Holy One, in the written wisdom of Scripture and in the living Word which is Christ Jesus. Nourish us on the bread of his teachings until we can taste your goodness. Renew us at the fountain of his wisdom, so we may find joy in obedience and freedom in giving ourselves to you. Lord, hear our prayers . . .

(A time for silent prayers of confession . . .)

*Responsive Assurance of Pardon Leader: Christ is our peace: those who are divided Christ has made one. All: Christ has broken down the barriers of separation by his death and has built us up into one body in Christ. Leader: Hear the good news! Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. All: We believe the good news! In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Let us live as forgiven and reconciled people!

*Gloria Patri Glory Be to the Father Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and

to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, amen.

The Affirmation of Faith: The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

He has made everything

suitable for its time; moreover

he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find

out what God has done from

beginning to end.”

that we may gain a wise heart.” Psalm 90:12
