you stand in the presence of
His glory blameless with great joy,

Psalm 46
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of
Korah set to Alamoth. A Song.
*please stand
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth
should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart
of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.
There is a river whose streams make glad the
city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be
moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms
tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be
exalted in the earth.”
The LORD of hosts is with us;
ALL: The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Amen

Amen
GOD CALLS US TO REPENT
& RECEIVE HIS GRACE
Exhortation
Minister: They said to Him, “We have here
only five loaves and two fish.” And He said,
“Bring them here to Me.” Ordering the
people to sit down on the grass, He took the
five loaves and the two fish, and looking up
toward heaven, He blessed the food, and
breaking the loaves He gave them to the
disciples, and the disciples gave them to the
crowds, and they all ate and were satisfied.
Matthew 14:17-20
Confession of Sin
(please kneel)
Minister: Dearly beloved brethren, let us
draw near to God our Father with an honest
heart and confess our sins, asking Him to
forgive us for Christ’s sake.
People: Amen.
Minister: If we say we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful
and just will forgive our sins and cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
Private Confession of Sin
Corporate Response:
God’s Promise of Absolution
Psalm 62:5-8
My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in
God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
ALL: God is a refuge for us. Amen
*We Receive God’s Gracious Absolution
Minister: For I do not want you to be
unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all
under the cloud and all passed through the
sea; and all were baptized into Moses in the
cloud and in the sea; and all ate the same
spiritual food; and all drank the same
spiritual drink, for they were drinking from
a spiritual rock which followed them; and
the rock was Christ.
I Corinthians 10:1-4
Minister: Brothers and sisters, it is upon the
basis of the atoning work of Christ that I
declare to you that your sins are forgiven in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit. Amen
People: Thanks be to God.
Minister: Therefore, stand confidently in
His presence, knowing your full acceptance
in the Savior and the joy of the Father.
People: See how great a love the Father has
bestowed on us, that we would be called
children of God;
ALL: And we are!

the People
Intercessory Prayer
*We Respond to God
The LORD’s Prayer
Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
God Meets With Us Through His Word Preached

of the Feast
Heidelberg Catechism
Question 1
Minister: What is your only comfort in life
and death?
People: That I, with body and soul, both in
life and death, am not my own, but belong
unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; who
with His precious blood has fully satisfied
for all my sins, and delivered me from all
the power of the devil; and so preserves me
that without the will of my heavenly Father
not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that
all things must be subservient to my
salvation, wherefore by His Holy Spirit He
also assures me of eternal life, and makes me
heartily willing and ready, henceforth, to live
unto Him.
