CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)
Our Father, in heaven, we have not kept Your name sacred and holy. We have turned aside from Your will. We have not shared with those who are hungry or in need. We have not been forgiving of others. We have welcomed temptations and often forsaken You. Forgive us, and teach us to live as You desire. In the name of Christ we pray, Amen.
ASSURANCE OF Pardon
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

Our Father in Heaven, holy is Your name.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory. Amen
RESPONSE TO THE WORD OF GOD
*affIRMATION OF FAITH (Unison) The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall 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.

NEXT SUNDAY: Come to 10:00 am Worship service dressed for the day you have planned. Wear your “watching the parade” clothes to church. Plan to stay—hamburgers, baked beans and hot dogs will be available. Bring a dessert to share if you wish. We’ll set out folding chairs and enjoy the Fort Myers Beach 4th of July Parade from the comfort of Chapel’s veranda. The parade begins at 1:00 pm.
JULY 4th CARNIVAL: A Community Carnival will be held at Chapel immediately following the parade with plenty of carnival favorite foods: hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones! Along with the food, there will be a water slide, carnival games, prizes, face painting, and more. Proceeds will benefit our youth programs. Plan for a day of fun! Invite your family, friends, and neighbors!
