PRELUDE AND TIME OF PREPARATION:
“Fughetta” by J. Pachelbel
1st John 3:2.
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
OPENING SCRIPTURE: Revelation 7:9.
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 before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
CALL TO WORSHIP – from Psalm 34.
I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
“Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.
The LORD will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
HYMN OF PRAISE: From All that Dwell Below the Skies 327
CALL TO CONFESSION – Lay Leader
(Please Stand for the Call to Confession)
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Trusting in God’s grace, let us confess our sin,
Knowing that God has already forgiven us.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION: - Lay Leader
Master, Savior, Shepherd, Messiah--
we know you by many names, Lord.
Your presence fills our lives--
all that we are and all that we have
comes from you;
all that you do declares your love for us.
Yet when trouble comes,
when adversity plagues us,
we wonder where you are;
we even wonder who you are.
How quickly we forget
that you are always with us.
Dispel our gloom and despair.
Change our garments of darkness
into robes of dazzling light.
Spread your table before us,
and feed us from your hand.
(Please offer your own silent prayers)
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS– Rev. Bob Hill
THE PASSING OF THE PEACE: - Rev. Bob Hill
Leader: May the Peace of Christ be with you all
Response: And also with you
SINGING: “Surely the Presence of the Lord”
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel God's mighty power and God's grace.
I can hear the brush of angel's wings,
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER – Rev. Bob Hill
SCRIPTURE LESSON: 1 John 3:1-3.
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
ANTHEM: I Surrender All
SCRIPTURE LESSON: Revelation 7:9-17.
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 before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes —who are they, and where did they come from?”
I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men and women, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father.
