Here's a copy of the order and the podcast of the worship service I led in the Presbyterian Church of Hopedale, Ohio on Sunday, November 29, 2020. Below was our order of worship.
Announcements
Our Call to Worship: Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19
Leader: Give ear, O shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock!
People: You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh.
Leader: Stir up your might, and come to save us!
People: Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved.
Leader: O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
People: You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure.
Leader: You make us the scorn of our neighbors; our enemies laugh among themselves.
People: Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved.
Leader: But let your hand be upon the one at your right hand, the one whom you made strong for yourself.
People: Then we will never turn back from you; give us life, and we will call on your name.
Leader: Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
People: Let your face shine, that we may be saved.
Congregational Song: “According to Thy Gracious Word”
Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, we confess that we've sinned against you. We spend a lot of time worrying about our world. Sadly, often we do little else. As a result, we lack the confidence to step forward and to make a difference. Merciful Lord, forgive us and help us recognize that we’re all in God’s hands.
Words of Forgiveness
Gloria Patri
Affirmation of Faith: The Apostle's 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 Ghost, 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 Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Prayers of the People: (followed by The Lord's Prayer)
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. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
