     After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every

     nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the

     Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. 

 

     They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on   

     the throne, and to the Lamb!”

 

     And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living  

     creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing:

 

     “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and  

     might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

 

*Hymn of Praise               “You Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim”            Glory #299

 

Call to Confession                                                                                            Linda Kaesemeyer

 

Prayer of Confession

 

     Holy God, we confess that we have strayed from your paths of right relationship and  

     peace. By choice and by neglect, we have dishonored you, diminished ourselves, and  

     damaged your good creation. We are humbly sorry for our sins, and we repent from  

     our hurtful ways. Have mercy on us, we pray, and grant us grace to forgive ourselves   

     and others, that we may live in freedom and joy. We ask this in Jesus’s name, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon

    

     Friends, God’s mercy flows as a healing stream, cleansing us from sin and making us whole.  

 

     We rejoice in the good news: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!

 

Passing the Peace

    

     The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

     And also with you!

     Let us share the peace of Christ with each other.

 

Glory be to the Father

    

    

     Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the  

     beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
