Welcome
Opening Prayer
Generous God,
you give us gifts and make them grow:
though our faith is small as mustard seed,
make it grow to your glory
and the flourishing of your kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Faith as Small as a Mustard Seed
with actions!
Chorus:
Faith as small as a mustard seed
Will move mountains, move mountains
Faith as small as a mustard seed
Will move mountains by the power of God (repeat)
Verse:
Believe what Jesus said was true
Believe He meant it just for you
Wait and see what God will do as you pray
As you pray
Confession
Almighty God,
long-suffering and of great goodness;
I confess to you,
I confess with my whole heart
my neglect and forgetfulness of your commandments
my wrong doing, thinking and speaking;
the hurts I have done to others,
and the good I have left undone.
O God, forgive me, for I have sinned against you:
and raise me to newness of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Lord I Come to You
Here I am (Majesty)

In Christ Alone
Creed
I believe 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, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living 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
What a Faithful God

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your will be done;
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power
and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.
