Call to Worship: LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
– Isaiah 25:1, 9

* Prayer of Confession
Almighty, everlasting God and Father,
We confess and acknowledge to you
That we were conceived in unrighteousness
And that we are full of sin and transgression in our life.
We do no perfectly believe your Word
Nor follow your holy commandments.
We implore you, remember your goodness,
And for your name's sake be gracious to us
And forgive us our wrongdoing.
