Starting March 1, 2026
* These elements are the best for families new to family worship.
Call to Worship
Hear God call the family to worship and respond in unison:
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing! Psalm 100:1-2
Or:
Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
His steadfast love endures forever! Psalm 106:1
Confession
(Optional) Take a moment and give each family member an opportunity to confess their sins verbally.
The father prays on behalf of the family:
Almighty and most merciful Father,
we have sinned against you
and done what was evil in your sight. Psalm 51:4
We have done things we should not do,
and we have not done things we should do.
O Lord, have mercy upon us. Psalm 51:1
Grant us to live a godly and righteous life,
To the glory of your holy Name. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Receive the Word of God as the father reads:
God has said in His Word that:
We have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous.
He is the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 2:1-2
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
*Song of Adoration
Sing a song of your choosing with your family in worship to God.
Suggested song(s) of the week: The father holds out his fist and asks the question which the whole family responds while raising a finger for each answer:
What does the Lord your God require of you? Sing together:
Gloria Patri: Or:
Doxology: Either recite the memory verse together or have the children do it individually.
You shall have no other gods before me.
