Dick Fisher Psalm 1:1-3, 119:12-16 Leader: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. All: Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me Your statutes! With my lips I declare all the rules of Your mouth. In the way of Your testimo- nies I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your pre- cepts and fix my eyes on Your ways. I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Hymn No. 94 (vv. 1,2) “How Firm a Foundation” Confession of Sin (To be read in unison) Rev. Dick Fisher from Valley of Vision Holy Lord, I have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, of failure to find Your mind in Your Word, of neglect to see You in my daily life. My transgressions and short-comings present me with a list of accusations, but I bless You that they will not stand against me, for all have been laid on Christ. Go on to subdue my corruptions, and grant me grace to live above them. Let not the passions of the flesh nor lustings of the mind bring my spirit into subjection, but Lord, rule over me in liberty and power. Private Confession of Sin Hymn of Assurance No. 94 (vs. 6) “How Firm a Foundation” Elder Prayer for God’s People Offertory David Luther “ere Is a Balm in Gilead” arr. Mark Hayes *Adult Choir Gentle Voice” by Lee and Susan Dengler Far above the noise of life, there’s a voice that is gently calling. “Leave behind your cares and strife. Come to Me. I will give you rest. Bring your fear, and bring your pain. Bring your anger, and bring your worry.” Do you hear the voice of Jesus, gently calling, “Come unto Me”? Gentle voice, so meek and mild, gentle words of understanding. “You are My beloved child. Come to Me. I will give you rest. Bring your grief, and bring your cares. Bring your heartaches, and bring your sorrow.” Do you hear the voice of Jesus, gently calling, “Come unto Me”? Gentle voice, so full of love, gentle words so rich in mercy. “You are My be- loved child. Come to Me. I will give you rest.” Greeting of Peace & Dismissal of Children Children’s church for 4 years old through 1 st grade is available. Parents, please walk your children to the PreK-K room.
