CHIMES
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
PRELUDE
The prelude is a sacred curtain dropped between the world and our time of
worship. During this time of preparation, you are encouraged to pray silently,
asking the Holy Spirit to enable you to cling to and delight yourself in Christ.
(PLEASE SILENCE ALL PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES.)
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Pastor Berdj Tchilinguirian
*AFFIRMATION OF PRAISE (#94)
“How Firm a Foundation”
*COLLECTIVE CONFESSION
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy
ways, like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of
our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left
undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those
things which we ought not to have done, and there is no health in us. But
thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us miserable offenders. Spare thou them,
O God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that be penitent,
according to thy promises declared unto mankind, in Christ Jesus our
Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may
hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy
name.

*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
(Psalm 103:10-13)
To all who confess themselves to be sinners, humbling themselves before
God and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation, I declare this
sure promise:
He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our
iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great
is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father has
compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those
who fear Him.
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
The Apostles’ Creed
Unison:
I believe in God the Father Almighty
Maker of heaven and earth;
I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI
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.
PSALTER
“Psalm 99”

OFFERTORY ANTHEM

Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Children (up to age 5) may be dismissed

*MORNING PRAYER (CLOSING WITH “THE LORD’S PRAYER”)
Our father, who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread. And forgive us our debts; as we forgive our debtors. And
lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

MISSION STATEMENT
Our purpose is to establish and build a church which is pleasing to God.
During that historic period known as The Reformation,
men of great courage and conviction set about to
reform a church which had departed from many of the
essential truths of orthodox Christianity. These
truths are often referred to as the solas.
The Latin phrases are:
SOLA SCRIPTURA or THE SCRIPTURE ALONE!
SOLUS CHRISTUS or CHRIST ALONE!
SOLA GRATIA or GRACE ALONE!
SOLE FIDE or FAITH ALONE!
and
SOLI DEO GLORIA or TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
