Leader: There is none like You, O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours.
Unison: All nations You have made shall come and bow down before You, O Lord, and glorify Your name.
Leader: For You are great and do won- drous things. You alone are God!
Unison: Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever!

~ based on Isaiah 30 ~
Leader: The Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, spoke through the prophet Isaiah saying, In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.
Isaiah pleaded with the people, There- fore the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show mercy to you. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as He hears it, He answers you.
Prayer of Confession
~ based on Psalm 25 ~
Unison: Remember Your mercy, O Lord, and Your steadfast love, for they have been of old. Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; accord- ing to Your steadfast love remember me for the sake of Your goodness.
~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~
Unison: For Your names sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distress. Consider my affliction and trouble and forgive all my sins. Amen.
The Words of The Gospel
~ Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 1 ~
Leader: Isaiah the prophet spoke about the coming Saviour of the world, Jesus Christ, when he said, Surely He has born our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed.
Understand then that you were ransom- ed not with perishable things such as sil- ver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ. He suffered for sins, the right- eous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God.
Song of Response
"Name Above All Names
From the brightness of His glory Jesus, the Son of God descends Takes on the nature of a servant Jesus, obedient to death
The Father willed to crush Him As a sacrifice for sin He satisfied Gods justice And in victry rose again
chorus You are highly exalted Name above all names Worthy of all praise You are reigning in glory Jesus, Youre the King over everything Exalted to the highest place Given the name above all other names
The tomb is empty, Christ has risen Jesus, the Lamb once crucified The angels never cease to worship Jesus, in heaven glorified To Him belongs the power The wisdom, might and strength All glory and dominion To the Lord of every age
(repeat chorus)
Our knees will bow, our tongues proclaim That You are Lord of all Our knees will bow, our tongues proclaim That You are Lord of all
(repeat chorus) The Prayers of the People for the Church and City
Leader: Let us pray.
Unison: Our Father in Heaven, hallow- ed be your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Our Confession of Faith
~ Heidelberg Catechism #60 ~
Leader: Christian, how are you made right with God?
Unison: Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. Even though my conscience accuses me of having grievously sinned against all Gods commandments and of never having kept any of them, and even though I am still inclined to all evil, nevertheless, without my deserving it at all, out of sheer grace God grants to me the perfect satisfaction, righteous- ness, and holiness of Christ, as if I had never sinned nor been a sinner, as if I had been as perfectly obedient as Christ was obedient for me. All I need to do is to accept this gift of God with a believing heart. The Benediction
~ Romans 15:13 ~
Leader: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Unison: Amen! NewCityChurch Calgary,Alberta
