What is our only hope in life and death?
That we are not our own but belong to God.
What is God?
God is the creator of everyone and everything.
How many persons are there in God?
There are three persons in one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
How and why did God create us?
God created us male and female in his own image to glorify him.

*Let Us Sing Abide With Me No. 419
The Preaching of God’s Word “Through the Valley” Psalm 23:4
*The Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
*The Supper of the Lord 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Invitation
Come to this table:
you who have much faith,
and you who would like to have more;
you who have been to this sacrament often,
and you who have not been for a long time.
Come, you who are doubting, struggling, tired and weary;
Jesus will nourish your soul and help you!
Come! It is Christ who invites us to meet him here.
So Let Us Lift Up Our Hearts to Christ
As the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, I take these elements of bread and the fruit of the vine, to be set apart from all common uses to this holy use and mystery; and as He gave thanks and blessed, let us draw near to God, lifting up our hearts, presenting to Him our prayers and thanksgivings.
Pastor: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Pastor: Lift up your hears.
People: We lift them up to the Lord.
Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is good and right to give Him thanks and praise.
Pastor: Let us pray . . .
Please come forward to receive the bread and the cup.
Let Us Pray Together
*Let’s Sing Joyfully Be Still, My Soul No. 347
*The Benediction
Please greet one another in the Lord.
