OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit “Praise Ye the Triune God”

Welcome and Call to Worship: Isaiah 6:3b, 5
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts;
THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF GOD’S GLORY!
— Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a person of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips;
YET MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE KING, THE LORD OF HOSTS!

*Hymn 267 “Come Thou Almighty King”

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: Psalm 28
TO YOU, O LORD, I CALL; MY ROCK, DO NOT REFUSE TO HEAR ME. HEAR THE VOICE OF MY SUPPLICATION, AS I CRY TO YOU FOR HELP, AS I LIFT MY HANDS TOWARD YOUR MOST HOLY SANCTUARY.

Kyrie (sung)
LORD HAVE MERCY UPON US.
CHRIST HAVE MERCY UPON US.
LORD HAVE MERCY UPON US.

A Word of Assurance and The Summary of the Law (Mark 12:29-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
WITH ALL YOUR MIND,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
This is the second commandment.
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
There is no greater commandment than these.
