WE GATHER
Prayer of InvocationLinda Evans 1st service Sherry Brenneman 2nd service
Holy God, you sent your Son to be baptized among sinners, to seek and save the lost. May we, who have been baptized in his name, never turn away from the world, but reach out in love to rescue the wayward; by the mercy of Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
PreludeAllegro con brio, Op.7 Beethoven
WE PRAISE
Chimes on the Hour
Introit Chancel Choir
*Call to Worship
*Hymn #487When Morning Gilds the Skies
WE CONFESS
*Call to Confession
*Prayer of Confession (together) Merciful God, in baptism you promise forgiveness and new life, making us part of the body of Christ. We confess that we remain preoccupied with ourselves, separated from sisters and brothers in Christ. We cling to destructive habits, hold grudges, and show reluctance to welcome one another; we allow the past to hold us hostage. In your loving kindness, have mercy on us, and free us from sin. Remind us of the promises you make in baptism so that we may rise to new life, and live together in grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

*Declaration of PardonLeader: Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel. People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
*Congregational Response (together)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.
*Affirmation of Faith - The Apostles’ Creed (together)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.
WE SHAREResponse Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by flaming tongues above;Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,Mount of God’s unchanging love!
Life at Church of the Palms Please sign and pass the red covered friendship pad at the end of the pew.

And so would we.Alleluia! Alleluia!The majesty and glory of Your name.Alleluia! Alleluia!The majesty and glory of Your name.Alleluia! Alleluia!

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
