Leader: After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and held palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
People: All the angels were standing around the throne. They fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying:
All: Amen! Praise and glory! Wisdom and thanks and honor! Power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen!

Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Eternal God, in every age you have raised up men and women to live and die in faith. Forgive our weaknesses and our indifference to your will. You command us to speak, but we are silent. You call us to be just, but we are fearful. Have mercy on us and forgive our sins. Transform us into people of faith, eager to follow you and willing to lead others. By the power of your Holy Spirit may we grow in grace, knowledge, and obedience to you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry… The Lord redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:7,15, 22
Our Giving to the Lord Pastor
We who have been entrusted with the message of the gospel have the means to make it known to the world. Our tithes and offerings are dedicated to God’s purpose, and He is our witness, the One who tests our hearts, the One who establishes the work of our hands.
