SUNDAY | OCTOBER 1, 2023 | 11:00 AM

PREPARING OUR HEARTS FOR WORSHIP “Trust in God”

WELCOME (We shine brighter today because you are here!)

*SING TO THE LORD “Reckless Love”
“Goodness of God”

*THE LORD’S PRAYER (The Lord’s Prayer, “Notre Père,” in French)
Translated by Sue Lyle

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux,
Que ton nom soit sanctifié,
Que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd’hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offences
Comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
mais délivre-nous du mal,
car c’est à toi qu’appartiennent le règne,
la puissance et la gloire, aux siècles des siècles.
Amen.

The Marvelous Benefits!

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION

Invitation to the Table | Prayers for Others & Ourselves
*Affirmation of our 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.
He descended into hades. The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven. And sitteth on 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 Christian Church. The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.
