PSPC Worship Service

We rejoice, O God, in your splendor and your grace. We rejoice in your love for us. No cloud can keep your light from shining, no pain destroy our hope, for you are with us, always. Yet when our lives are good, we find no need for you. And when there is trouble, we wonder where you are. Forgive us, Lord, our doubt. Lead us back to you when we stray, and help us listen for your voice in this noisy world. For without you, we are empty, and with you, we are fulfilled. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

God, source of all light, by your Word you give light to the soul. Pour out upon us the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that, through the Scriptures, our hearts and minds may be opened to know your will in our lives. Amen.

The Lord's Supper is a celebration of the reconciliation of men with God and with one
another, in which they joyfully eat and drink together at the table of their Savior. Jesus Christ gave his church this remembrance of his dying for sinful men so that by participation in it they have communion with him and with all who shall be gathered to him. Partaking in him as they eat the bread and drink the wine in accordance with Christ's appointment, they receive from the risen and living Lord the benefits of his death and resurrection. They rejoice in the foretaste of the kingdom which he will bring to consummation at his promised coming, and go out from the Lord's Table with courage and hope for the service to which he has called them. Amen.
