• Responsive Call to Worship

  LEADER: Come, all who are weary and burdened, for in Christ there is forgiveness. Come, all who long for hope beyond the grave, for in Christ there is resurrection. Come, all who yearn for life that never ends, for in Christ there is life everlasting.

  PEOPLE: We come to worship the Living God, who has redeemed us through Jesus Christ and sealed us with the Holy Spirit.

• Unison Prayer of Confession

  Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved You with our whole heart, nor have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have doubted Your power to raise the dead, and we have lived as though this life is all there is. Forgive us, Lord. Renew our hearts by Your Spirit, that we may walk in the light of Christ, trusting in His resurrection, and living in the hope of life everlasting. Hear us now as we silently confess our sins to You.

• Affirmation of Faith

  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 at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there 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.

• Scripture Reading

  Psalm 84:1-4 NIV

  “How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.”

  • Dear Dardenne Church Family,

    As we have just completed our Mary Martha work week,, we want to recognize our ministry partners who so graciously give their time to support this mission.

    Today and everyday, we celebrate the seen and unseen efforts of every contributor working to build God's kingdom, from brewing coffee and holding babies to running sound and welcoming people to Dardenne church. Your dedication and heart for His people inspire our entire community.

    To everyone serving everywhere: THANK YOU.
