Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed . O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions . Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple. CORPORATE PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of gods and Lord of lords, You have blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as You chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before You. We confess that we have not lived wholly for You, nor have we lived blamelessly in our thoughts, words, or actions. Please forgive us and restore in us the joy of our salvation. In the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen. INDIVIDUAL PRAYERS OF CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF DIVINE PARDON HYMN OF ASSURANCE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.

Wonderful merciful Savior, precious Redeemer and Friend, Who would’ve thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men; O, You rescue the souls of men. You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore. You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for; O, our hearts always hunger for. Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace, You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost the way; O, we hopelessly lost the way. Almighty, infinite Father, faithfully loving Your own, Here in our weakness You find us falling before Your throne; O, we’re falling before Your throne.

Eric Nelson When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul . It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul . He lives, O, the bliss of that glorious thought; My sin, not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! And Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trumpet shall resound, and the Lord shall descend; Even so, it is well with my soul .

O Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, “Even so” — it is well with my soul. It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul. WPRAYER OF THANKSGIVING AND DEDICATION WGREETINGS

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.

Text: Mark 10:43-45 “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” PRAYER OF COMMITMENT WHYMN OF PRAISE: No . 170 “Fairest Lord Jesus” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Instrumentalist: John Schuesselin, trumpet We consider it a privilege to have our children in worship with us. If your small children become restless and vocal, we invite you to the children’s room especially designed for them at the rear of the Sanctuary. They are also welcome in the nursery. Older children should also be encouraged to come to church prepared to stay in their pew throughout the service.

One of our pastors will be available after the service to pray for you or to offer helpful direction regarding your spiritual life. He will be in the Gathering Room, which is the first room on your left as you exit the southwest door of the Sanctuary (closest to the pulpit). You may also send your confidential email to [email protected] with questions about your spiritual life.
