Let us bless the Lord at all times; let us praise God continually.My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me.Let us exalt God’s holy name together.

* PRAYER OF APPROACH AND CONFESSION Rev. Mark J. EldredGod of all creation, we draw near to you with joy in our hearts and praise from our mouths. Today we celebrate All Saints’ Day; may those who have gone before us speak to us of faithful endurance that we might be strengthened on our journey of faith today.

We confess to you, O God, that we cannot do it alone. We need you, we need each other, and we need the good testimony of our forefathers and foremothers. May we live our lives in such a way that our faith might be a witness to future generations. May our hearts and minds be aligned with your will, your purposes, and your joy for us and the world. Renew us by your merciful love that we might live our days as your true sons and daughters. (moment of silent confession)

We ask all these things in the name of Jesus who taught us to pray . . .* 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.

* KYRIE ELEISONLord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

* ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS (Revelation 7:16-17) Rev. Mark J. EldredFriends, hear the Good News: the time is coming, says the scripture, when “they will hunger no more, and thirst no more, the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” In Christ we are being restored to hope. Live in peace, for you are forgiven.

Thanks be to God!* PASSING OF THE PEACE
