Prelude

Welcome

Hymn
575 I Will Sing of My Redeemer

Responsive Reading
Leader: We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and
honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for
everyone. 
People: Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus
the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 
Leader: Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help us in our time of need. 
People: We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
Leader: Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we process, for He who promised is faithful.  And
let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 
People: Let us no give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
