*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Heidelberg Catechism Q. 1 What is your only comfort in life and in death? That I belongbody and soul, in life and in deathnot to myself but to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION Almighty God, when we face trials, we find no joy. We dont want our faith tested and we dont care if it is strengthened. We want easy lives that are free of uncertainty, anxiety and fear. We want lives that work for us, not lives lived for your glory. Forgive our weak faith, we pray. Mold us and shape us into people who can proclaim your kingdom in all circumstances, with all boldness and without hindrance. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. SILENT PRAYERS OF PERSONAL CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ we are forgive. Thanks be to God! Amen. *GLORIA PATRI #579 GREATOREX
