Assurance of Pardon Having faithfully confessed and renounced your sin, Christ also has been faithful to forgive your sins and to purify you from all unrighteousness. It is certain, that there is One who has spoken to the Father in your defense, Jesus Christ, the Righteous One who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and for the sins of the whole world. His grace and peace are with you now. Amen. Petitions and Supplications, Ending with the Lord’s Prayer Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in 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, for ever. Amen.

~ Matthew 6.9-13 (KJV)

Doxology (and/or closing song) Praise God fromwhom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Departing to Serve

Benediction Lord Jesus Christ, our great high priest, who offered yourself without blemish to God in the great tabernacle above, thank you for your cleansing and healing blood. Through that blood the new covenant has come to us, and we are transformed through it, justified before God because of it, and will never come under wrath by its great sanctifying power. Your precious blood has set us free. May all praise be to you, dear Priest of God, for you have offered yourself to God for us, and now we are whole. In your name we offer you thanks. Amen.
