Confession of Sin: From Psalm 25
Lord Jesus Christ, Surely You have borne my griefs and carried my sorrows; yet I have considered You stricken by God, and afflicted. But You were pierced through for my transgressions; You were crushed for my iniquities; the chastening for my well-being was upon You; and by Your scourging I am healed. Like a sheep I have gone astray, I have turned to my own way; but the Lord has caused my iniquity to fall on You, my blessed Savior.

Confession of Faith: The Heidelberg Catechism
Q 81. Who are to come to the table of the Lord?
- Those who are displeased with themselves for their sins, yet trust that these are forgiven them, and that their remaining infirmity is covered by the suffering and death of Christ; who also desire more and more to strengthen their faith and to amend their life. But the unrepentant and hypocrites eat and drink judgment to themselves.
Communion*:
Song: Be Unto Your Name – CCLI# 2177476
We are a moment, You are forever, Lord of the Ages, God before time
We are a vapor, You are eternal, Love everlasting, reigning on high
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Worthy is the lamb who was slain
Highest praises, honor and glory, Be unto Your name, be unto Your name
We are the broken, You are the healer, Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song we’ll sing forever, Bowing before You, blessing Your name

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us
