As We Prepare Our Hearts for Worship “Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or

later, and then you still have to decide what to do.” ~ C.C. Lewis,

The Silver Chair

“When faced with two equally tough choices, most people choose the third

choice; to not choose.” ~ Jarod Kintz

“Do nothing, and nothing happens. Life is about decisions. You either

make them or they’re made for you, but you can’t avoid them.”

~Mhairi McFarlane, You Had Me At Hello

We Gather Together Prelude: Tina Andersen, Organist

Lighting the Path

Ringing of the Bells

Welcome and Trinitarian Greeting—Lou Ann Hoffman

A Time for Praise and Preparation *Call to Worship:

Leader: Praise the Lord! We gather and give thanks to God.

People: How incredible are the works of our God!

Leader: The Lord is gracious and merciful, faithful and just.

People: Holy and awesome is God’s name!

Leader: Wisdom begins with respect for the Lord.

ALL: May our praise go on forever!

Opening Hymn: The Heart of Worship Supplemental Hymnal #8

*Prayer of Adoration and Praise:

Loving Christ, we come together in this hour of worship to be refreshed and

refueled for the mission you left to us, your followers. Rekindle the joyful

opportunity we have to be Your body, the hands, feet, heart and mind through

whom you reach, touch, feed, lift up, and embrace all people. We choose to follow

you, as did those who have gone before us, and we follow you for the sake of

those who wait to learn from us the ways of discipleship. It is in Your name we

pray. Amen

*The Commissioning, Benediction and Response: “Alleluia”

Postlude: Tina Andersen

Our special guest today is Reverend Daniel Sullivan, MS, MDiv,

Rush-Copley chaplain and director of Spiritual Care. Following the ser-

vice, Rev. Sullivan will share important information about advance di-

rectives: tools available to assist in communicating wishes for the fu-

ture, should you become unable to do so. Please welcome Rev. Sullivan.

The Scripture Lesson Matthew 25:1-13

Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took

their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were

foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they

took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.

As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept.

But at midnight there was a shout, “Look! Here is the bridegroom!

Come out to meet him.” Then all those bridesmaids got up and

trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, “Give us some of

your oil, for our lamps are going out.” But the wise replied, “No!

There will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the

dealers and buy some for yourselves.” And while they went to buy it,

the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into

the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other brides-

maids came also, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us.” But he replied,

“Truly I tell you, O do not know you.” Keep awake therefore, for you

know neither the day nor the hour.

*The Gloria Patri:

Glory be to the Savior, and to our God, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was

in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, love without end. Amen.

*Passing the Peace:

With a “Holy Hug” or a “Holy Handshake,” we greet those around us as

a sharing of God’s love with the words,

“Welcome, the Peace of Christ be with you.”

A Time with Children—Deanna Bazan

Sharing Joys and Concerns

The Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer— Doug Clevenger

Responding to God’s Gifts and Grace

The Call for the Offering

The Offertory:

*The Presentation - The Doxology:

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here

below; Praise God for all that love has done; Creator, Christ and Spirit One.

Amen.

*Prayer of Dedication of Gifts and Self:

Receive, O God, these gifts which we choose to return to you through this

church. May this congregation discern wisely where and how to use these

gifts in your service. And remind us always how you have chosen to en-

trust us as stewards with creation’s gift, love’s grace, and discipleship’s call.

May our wills tend faithfully to your purposes for us and for all your chil-

dren. In Jesus Christ. Amen.

We Listen for God’s Word
