The day has come, day of remembering,

day when faith sets us on another journey, day of joy and happiness,

day to sing, day to give thanks,

day to join the beginning of a season of renewal.

Philippians 2:9-11

Greetings from West Jersey Presbytery The Rev. Dr. Deborah Brincivalli Executive Presbyter Call to Confession Rick Bean Prayer of Confession (unison)

Almighty and gracious God, in our baptism, you have made us to be your beloved children. Yet, we know that we have failed to follow Christ faithfully. We have not been the Church that you have made us to be by water and the Spirit. Forgive us, Holy One! Send forth the Holy Spirit and renew us as your joyful disciples. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Church. Amen.

Words of Assurance Larry Miller Thanks be to God! *Gloria Patri No. 579 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. Celebrating Our Past Opal Stockwell *Passing the Peace of Christ Lauren Parsons

Anthem I Believe Miller Adult and Youth Choirs

Cate Marcelli and Kelly McFadden, duet I believe in the sun even when it’s not shining.

I believe in love even when I don’t feel it. I believe in God even when God is silent.

DESIRING TO FOLLOW CHRIST, WE LISTEN TO GOD'S WORD

Prayer for Illumination (unison) Matthew Yeary

God, you are the Source of our life. By your Word, you have made all the worlds; by that same Word you have remade our lives. Send forth your Holy Spirit and so illuminate our minds by your Word. Seal your promises upon our hearts that we might serve you by serving our neighbor; this we ask in Christ's saving name. Amen.

Responsive Psalm Psalm 133 Jenny McFadden How very good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes. How very good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord ordained his blessing, life forevermore. How very good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! Yes! It is very good and pleasant when God's people live together in unity! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was and is and ever shall be, unto the ages of ages. Amen!

Sermon Living Stones

The Rev. Dr. Gregory C. Faulkner

REDEDICATED TO THE TRIUNE LORD'S MISSION, WE OFFER OUR THANKS AND PRAYERS

*Hymn of Response 442 The Church’s One Foundation (see end of service) Come to Christ--a living stone--though rejected by mortals

yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house,

to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

I Peter 2:4-5 Call to Present Our Offerings to the Lord Neola Reese Prayer of Dedication Tom Huber Offertory One Faith, One Hope, One Lord Craig Courtney Adult Choir, Jimmy Boyle, trumpet

One faith, one hope, one Lord, one church for which he died, one voice, one song we lift in praise to him who was and is and shall be evermore.

There is one body, one spirit, as you were called to one hope. One Lord, baptism and faith, one God and Father of us all who is in you all.

Though we be many people, diverse with various gifts, we are given to each other for the unity of faith,

that we grow in the knowledge of the Son of God, in the fullness of Christ. One faith, one hope, one Lord, One God.

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer The Rev. Ms. Craven

EMPOWERED BY YOUR GOODNESS, WE GO FORTH TO CONTINUE OUR WORSHIP

*Sending Hymn 446 Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (see end of service) Glorious things are said of you, city of God:

As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.”

Psalm 87

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! Hail Him who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all! To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all! O that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall! We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all! We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all!

The Church’s One Foundation The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation by water and the word; From heaven He came and sought her to be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died. Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, on birth; One holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food And to on hope she presses, with every graced endued. Though with a scornful wonder this world sees her oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up: “How long?” And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, She waits the consummation of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. Yet she on earth has union with God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken Choir Alleluia, alleluia! Sing to God a song of praise! Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia! Congregation Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation’s walls surrounded, thou may’st smile at all thy foes. Choir See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever does their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. Congregation ‘Round each habitation hov’ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov’ring, showing that the Lord is near! Thus, deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. Safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. Choir Alleluia, alleluia! Amen.

How many hands touched the new 60th Anniversary banners and stoles? Our new banners and stoles were conceived two years ago and took nearly a year to complete. Thanks to the leftover fabric from the Easter banners and fabric donations from many individuals including friends and family members of Alene Bowen, Janet Cohen, Bonnie Jones, and Joann Shipley, among others – we were able to begin sewing strips of purchased and donated fabric together in September 2016. The strips were completed by January 2017 and then cut into diamond shapes. The shapes were then sorted and the banners were designed on the floor of the anteroom in the spring of 2017. Several ladies brought them home and sewed the challenging diamonds together. Backing was selected and purchased, and then Pam Dougherty and Janet Cohen laid all of the fabric components on the floor of the Fellowship Hall, cutting backing and batting for each one. The stoles were completed by Janet Cohen using remnants from the banners. Masterful quilting by Alene Bowen completed the banners! Our busy sewers and designers were: Donna Allen, Kris and Joslyn Bailey, Jen Bean, Alene Bowen, Barbara and Julia Clarke, Hayley and Janet Cohen, Linda Flanary, Lisa Huber, Bonnie Jones, Karen Kain, Ellen McCaney, Fiona and Nancy Parks, Nancy Roberts, Elaine Schon, Betty Stockwell, and Linda Thorpe. We appreciate all those who helped to make this possible, including the anonymous fabric donors. Have you figured out how many hands touched these banners?

November Forum

Sunday, November 5 10:45 am in the Community Room

Someone to Watch Over Me

As Christians, we know that our spiritual selves are cradled in God's care. As humans, we know that we are responsible for the care of our own physical selves and, often, for the care of our loved ones. What happens when we need direction or help in navigating treatments or hospital care? Who is available to help us when we become care givers for others? What is the NJ Care Act and how does it relate to care givers? Join us in the Community Room on Sunday, November 5, as Terry Ruggles emcees a panel of experts on care. Speakers include two nurse navigators from Cooper University Hospital who will discuss the role of the nurse navigator to aid a patient on his/her medical journey and a speaker from AARP 's Care Giving Resource Center who will speak about resources available for caregivers and the New Jersey Care Act. Opening information from the speakers and dialogue with emcee Ruggles will be followed by a question and answer session with the audience. Check the sign up table in Fellowship Hall after Sunday services in October to reserve your seat.
