Our Call to Worship: Psalm 29
Leader: Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
People: Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name; worship the Lord in holy splendor.
Leader: The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over mighty waters.
People: The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
Leader: The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
People: He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.
Leader: The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
People: The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
Leader: The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forest bare; and in his temple all say, “Glory!”
People: The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
Leader: May the Lord give strength to his people!
People: May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, we confess that we have sinned against you. Through the baptism of Jesus Christ, we can learn about you and your relationship to us. Sadly, we don't appreciate this lesson. We continue to live as though your involvement in our world is small and we're powerless in the face of problems and pain. Lord, forgive us and help us remember the presence, the power and the love shown in Christ's baptism.
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.
