PRAYERS OF CONFESSION
Silent
Unison:God of compassion, in Jesus Christ you reveal the light of your glory, but we turn away, distracted by our own plans. We confess that we speak when we should listen, and act when we should wait. Forgive our aimless enthusiasms. Grant us wisdom to live in your light and to follow in the way of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

ANTHEM Close To Thee
Vail/Sanborn		 The Sanctuary Choir

Thou my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me.
All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee,
Close to Thee, all along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
Not for ease or worldly pleasure, nor for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with Thee.
Lead me through the vale of shadows, bear me o’er life’s fitful sea,
Then the gate of life eternal may I enter Lord with Thee.
Close to Thee, then the gate of life eternal, may I enter Lord, with Thee, Savior, keep me close to Thee.

Responding to God's Word
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (The 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 Spirit, 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 Spirit, the holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
