CALL TO WORSHIP Dr. Steve Pulliam


Leader: Our hearts are ready, O Lord, our hearts are ready!
People: We will sing and make melody! We will awaken the dawn!
Leader: We will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
we will sing praises to you among the nations.
People: For your steadfast love is great above the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

OPENING HYMN 139 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty LOBE DEN HERREN
1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;
join me in glad adoration!
2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigning
bears thee on eagle’s wings, e’er in his keeping maintaining.
God’s care enfolds all, whose true good he upholds.
Hast thou not known his sustaining?
3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
who with his love doth befriend thee.
4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him!
Let the amen sound from his people again;
gladly forever adore him.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (The Apostles’ 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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

GLORIA PATRI 71 MEINEKE


Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Amen.

CALL TO CONFESSION Dr. Steve Pulliam


When we gather to praise God,
we remember that we are people who have preferred our wills to his.
Accepting his power to become new persons in Christ,
let us confess our sin before God and one another.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, our guide, who once used a star to lead people to Christ,
we confess our poor sense of direction.
We let ourselves become confused, distracted, and lose our way.
We fail to follow the signs you provide. Forgive our waywardness, O God.
Lead us to Christ, so that we may follow his way to you. Amen.

PASTORAL PRAYER

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 trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

1. God of love and God of power, grant us in this burning hour
grace to ask these gifts of thee, daring hearts and spirits free.
God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour.
2. We are not the first to be banished by our fears from thee;
give us courage, let us hear heaven's trumpets ringing clear.
God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour.
3. All our lives belong to thee, thou our final loyalty;
slaves are we whene'er we share that devotion anywhere.

offering lives if it's thy will, keeping free our spirits still.
God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour.

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT
Another semester has ended at CSM and we are so grateful for the time we got to share together. We
weren't sure if we would be able to gather in worship, but God provided the space and the safety that
gave our students a place to grow in their faith. Even though we were separated by a six foot radius it was
clear that our students still found community even in the adversity. If it wasn't for the care that is put into
the facilities and investment the Central family has made in our student ministry, this semester wouldn't
have been possible. Thank you, Central, for your contributions which foster an environment that gives
back to the next generation.
