I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

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. Call to confession Hebrews 10:19-22

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Prayer of confession

If, at times, we deny you, God forgive. When the risks of discipleship are high, and we are nowhere to be found:

God forgive.

When we wash our hands of responsibility:

God forgive.

When we deny and betray you in both overt and covert ways:

God forgive.

When fear keeps us from witnessing to your truth, and pride keeps us from believing it:

God forgive.

In the bright light of your truth this Easter morning, O God, our sin is exposed, and your grace is revealed.

Gracious God, in your tender care and by the power of your resurrection, grant us renewed trust in your love, so that with joy we may witness to your awesome deeds, in the name of Jesus, the risen one. Amen.

Silent prayers of confession

Choral prayer response “Merciful Father” L. van Beethoven Assurance of pardon from 1 Peter 2:24, John 3:17, 1 Corinthians 15:20-21

Jesus Christ himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

*Welcome and greeting *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.

*Congregational Response 735

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. Call to confession Hebrews 10:19-22

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Prayer of confession

If, at times, we deny you, God forgive. When the risks of discipleship are high, and we are nowhere to be found:

God forgive.

When we wash our hands of responsibility:

God forgive.

When we deny and betray you in both overt and covert ways:

God forgive.

When fear keeps us from witnessing to your truth, and pride keeps us from believing it:

God forgive.

In the bright light of your truth this Easter morning, O God, our sin is exposed, and your grace is revealed.

Gracious God, in your tender care and by the power of your resurrection, grant us renewed trust in your love, so that with joy we may witness to your awesome deeds, in the name of Jesus, the risen one. Amen.

Choral prayer response “Merciful Father” L. van Beethoven Assurance of pardon from 1 Peter 2:24, John 3:17, 1 Corinthians 15:20-21

Jesus Christ himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

Teachers are needed for Marketplace VBS, June 24-27!

At our last Marketplace event, we hosted approximately 250 children, and it took 24 teachers posing as Jewish mothers and fathers to supervise them all. We need 9 more teachers committed by May 1 to proceed with plans for Marketplace. Please prayerfully consider serving in this capacity and email marketplace@lmpc.org to volunteer or for more information.
