O CHRIST, THE GREAT FOUNDATION O Christ the great foundation on which your people stand to preach your true salvation in every age and land:
pour out your Holy Spirit to make us strong and pure, to keep the faith unbroken as long as worlds endure.
Baptized in one confession, one church in all the earth, we bear our Lord's impression, the sign of second birth:
one holy people gathered in love beyond our own, by grace we were invited, by grace we make you known
Where tyrants' hold is tightened, where strong devour the weak, where innocents are frightened, the righteous fear to speak,
there let your church awaking attack the powers of sin and, all their ramparts breaking, with you the victory win.
CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE This is the moment glorious when he who once was dead Shall lead his church victorious, their champion and their head.
The Lord of all creation his heav nly kingdom brings, The final consummation, the glory of all things.
CONFESSION OF SIN Gracious God, Our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judgment.
Set us free from a past we cannot change; Open to us a future in which we can be changed. Grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image; Through Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Savior.
CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE 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 CCLI #100655 and #CSPL059153; ONE LICENSE #A-713866; CCS #11641
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH 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.
Leading people to become faithful followers of Jesus Christ together in God s world.

THE LORDS 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.
LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies; let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on, till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet, with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might led us into the light; Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee; Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.
