Sentences of Scripture 2 Confession & Absolution Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of the Almighty, to set forth God’s praise, to hear God’s holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves for this worship in heart and mind and body, let us now open ourselves with one minute of silence, making space and holding this quiet before the Living Christ, our Savior and ever-present Companion … Silence … meeting God in this stillness, let us pray with a faithful heart and confess our sins, that we may know God’s goodness, mercy, and forgiveness: Almighty and most merciful God, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against your holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us: spare those who confess their faults, restore those who are penitent, all according to your promises declared in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of your holy Name.

Stephen Elvey (1805-1860) Psalm 99 We will pray the psalm in The Lord is King; let the people tremble; * unison. he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake. The Lord is great in Zion; * he is high above all peoples. Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; * he is the Holy One. “O mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity; * you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.” Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God and fall down before his footstool; * he is the Holy One. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, * they called upon the Lord, and he answered them. He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; * they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them. O Lord our God, you answered them indeed; * you were a God who forgave them, yet punished them for their evil deeds. Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God and worship him upon his holy hill; * for the Lord our God is the Holy One. 4 THE LESSONS Reading Exodus 33:12-23 Moses said to the Lord, “See, you have said to me, ‘Bring up this people’; but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’ Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways, so that I may know you and find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.” He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” And he said to him, “If your presence will not go, do not carry us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go with us? In this way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face of the earth.” The Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing that you have asked; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” Moses said, “Show me your glory, I pray.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you the name, ‘The Lord’; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
