Song Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty! Music: John B. Dykes; Text: Reginald Heber
Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy,
merciful and mighty!
God in three persons,
blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns
around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim
falling down before thee,
which wert and art,
and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name
in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy,
merciful and mighty!
God in three persons,
blessed Trinity!

Confession
Have mercy, O God, Against you, you alone, we have sinned. In your compassion, cleanse us from our sin and take away our guilt. Create in us a new heart and give us a steadfast spirit. Do not cast us away, but fill us with your Holy Spirit and restore your joy within us. Amen.
Words of Forgiveness
Song of Praise Glory in the Highest by Jonathan Rundman
Chorus:
Glory in the highest
Glory be to God
Glory in the highest
and peace to all the earth
Shaper of the universe
Thanks and praise we sing
Loving father, caring mother
Hold us in your wings
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
You wash our sins away
At your table all are welcome
Hear us as we pray
Holy Spirit source of life
Burning wild and free
You are God the three in one
Such a mystery

Message
Song When You Send Forth Your Spirit by Ray Makeever
Refrain:
When you send forth your Spirit,
we are renewed, we are renewed.
When you send forth your Spirit,
we are renewed, we are renewed.
Manifold your works, O God of might:
Maker of the earth, the air, the light.
Waters great and wide and all therein,
creatures that abide, let life begin.
When we look to you to give us food,
you open your hand, fill us with good.
When you hide your face, we are dismayed;
when you take away our breath, we fade.
May the glory of our God endure.
May our God be glad, be strong, be sure.
Unto you, O God, our praise we give:
we will sing your glory while we live.
Now may evil cease upon the earth;
wickedness no more shall be of worth.
Pleasing God shall be our only goal.
Alleluia! Blest be God, my soul.

Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Offering Give online, in an offering basket, or on Venmo @westsidelutheran.

Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

the sin of the world
Have mercy, mercy on us
Lamb of God you take away
the sin of the world
Oh Grant us peace
Lamb of God

Song The Lord Now Sends Us Forth Anonymous, Central America
Chorus:
The Lord now sends us forth
with hands to serve and give,
to make of all the earth
a better place to live.
The angels are not sent
into our world of pain
to do what we were meant
to do in Jesus' name;
that falls to you and me
and all who are made free.
Help us, O Lord, we pray,
to do your will today.
