I. CALL TO WORSHIP
 Praise and Worship
 Sentences of Praise (Hebrews 10)
Thanks be to God, who remembers our sins and
our lawless deeds no more. Thanks be to God,
whose forgiveness is now sure and who no
longer demands any offering for sin. Praise be
to God, who has removed the veil, drawing us
near to the throne of grace and mercy. Let us
honor and glorify God, by gathering together
and encouraging us to love one another, as
Christ has loved us.
 Hymn of Praise (Please all rise)
OLD RUGGED CROSS
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame, And I love
that old cross where the Dearest and Best for a
world of lost sinners was slain.
CHORUS:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the
world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For
the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, To
bear it to dark Calvary. [Chorus]
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so
divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For ’twas on
that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To
pardon and sanctify me. [Chorus]
 Opening Prayer Leader
Response:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
II. RESPONSIVE SINGING
Leader: Who is the victim of this terrible thing?! Who is
the scapegoat of this horrific thing?! An innocent man
has been ruthlessly killed. An innocent man has been
senselessly sacrificed. For whom has this man been
sacrificed?
CONGREGATIONAL SINGING
Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me, Above all.
Leader: For whom has this man been slain as an
offering? For a guilty man he has been hung on a
cross. For a guilty woman he has been pierced.
CONGREGATIONAL SINGING
Leader: What kind of man is this? Who would die in
the place of the guilty? What kind of man is this?
Who would suffer for one who has done evil?

ALL: O Lord, We all, like sheep, have gone astray. We
have all turned to our own way. We have sinned and
have been the cause of Christ’s suffering. Please
forgive us, we pray. Remove the sins that distance us
from you and from those we love and care about.
Remove our selfishness, our pride, our envy, and our
words that hurt one another. Remove from us the
tendency to hurt others out of revenge and anger.
Forgive us please. Create in us a clean heart, O Lord.
And renew in us a right spirit. Amen.
Response: Congregational Singing
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted; You were condemned
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is with me
Because You died and rose again.
Amazing love, how can it be?

Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my Joy to honor You In all I do, I honor you.
