The General Confession:

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Maker of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deeds, against Thy Divine Majesty, provoking most justly Thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for Thy Son our Lord, Jesus Christ’s sake. Forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may hereafter serve and please Thee in the newness of life, to the honor and glory of Thy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Gloria Patri: (Worship Leader and Congregation) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be; world without end, Amen, Amen.

Sanctus: (Worship Leader) It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God:

(Congregational Response) Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Thy glorious name, evermore praising Thee, and saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of host, Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Glory be to Thee, O Lord, Most High.” Amen

Welcome!!!

On behalf of Pastor Darryl and Rev. Kim Burton, and the Converted Heart family, we gladly welcome you to our church home, trusting that you will experience the presence of God in our midst. We pray that if you are sorrowing, you will receive comfort, if troubled in spirit you will gain the blessings of peace, if discourage you will rejoice in hope, and if friendless find faithful companionship and Christian love.

The Doxology:

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,

Praise Him all creatures here below,

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
