Prelude Carrick Fergus; Kelvingrove; Ye Banks and Braes Yvonne Miller, recorder

Gathering Prayer (unison) Most gracious God, our Heavenly Father, in Whom alone dwelleth all fullness of light and

wisdom: illuminate our minds, we beseech Thee, by Thine Holy Spirit, in the true under-standing of Thy word. Give us grace that we may receive it with reverence and humility unfeigned. May it lead us to put our whole trust in Thee alone. Amen. (from John Calvin)

Hymn #41 O Worship the King, All Glorious Above! LYONS

Call to Confession Leader: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Leader: Let us pray.

Prayer of Confession (unison) from The Scots Confession For by nature we are so dead, blind, and perverse, that neither can we feel when we are

tempted, see the light when it shines, nor assent to the will of God when it is revealed, unless the Spirit of the Lord Jesus removes the darkness from our minds. For by ourselves we are not capable of thinking one good thought, but He Who has begun the work in us alone continues us in it, to the praise and glory of His undeserved grace, through Jesus Christ our Lord… (time for silent and personal confession)

Leader: Lord, in Your mercy,All: Hear our prayer. Amen.

In Preparation for Worship The Kirk – As we believe in one God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, so we firmly believe that

from the beginning there has been, now is, and to the end of the world shall be, one Kirk, that is to say, one company and multitude of men chosen by God, who rightly worship and embrace him by true faith in Christ Jesus, who is the only Head of the Kirk, even as it is the body and spouse of Christ Jesus. The Scots Confession, Chapter XVI, 1560

Assurance of Forgiveness from The Scots Confession Our faith and its assurance are the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. We confess that the Holy Ghost does

sanctify and regenerate us, without respect to any merit proceeding from us. He Who has begun the work in us alone continues us in it, to the praise and Glory of His undeserved Grace.

Song of Praise Gloria Patri 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.

Tell Us Our Story Clair Maxwell Parents may take their young children (through PreK) to our nursery.

Morning Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer Alan Miller Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be

done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Anthem Songs Abound Katherine K. Davis Chancel Choir Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, and thus

surround the throne. Alleluia, cry aloud! Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God; But children of the heavenly King should spread their joys abroad. Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry; We’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground to fairer worlds on high. Isaac Watts

Old Testament Reading Psalm 46; page 489 Greg Slaton Leader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

New Testament Reading Matthew 22:34-39; page 24 Claire Pettys Leader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

Sermon How Do You Spell Presbyterian? Steve Vance

Affirmation of Faith from The Scots Confession We confess and acknowledge one God alone, to Whom we must cleave, Whom alone

we must serve, Whom only we must worship, and in Whom alone we put our trust. Who is eternal, infinite, immeasurable, incomprehensible, omnipotent, invisible; one in substance and yet distinct in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We most surely believe that God preserved, instructed, multiplied, honored, adorned,

Hymn #649 Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound AMAZING GRACE

Postlude Amazing Grace arr. George Shearing

Please join us for a reception in the Great Hall immediately following this worship service.

Worship Note: GLORY TO GOD, the new Presbyterian hymnal published in 2013, is here! We are dedicating the new hymnals this afternoon at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary using our own singers and instrumentalists. Hymns from a variety of styles and on a wealth of subjects will be sung. Some things to notice about the new hymnals:

• Contains 853 hymns (only 605 were in the blue hymnal).• It is a self-contained worship resource with several complete orders of worship in the front of the book.• Several different indexes in the back of the book make it easy to find specific hymns.• You can dedicate one or more copies in honor or memory of a loved one.• Contact Clair Maxwell, Dir. of Music, for more information regarding this new resource!

Saint Luke’s Presbyterian Church6

About “Scottish Heritage Sunday”Today is a time to recognize those leaders and martyrs of the church, and members of the armed forces, who have enabled us to worship in modern times in freedom, as well as to enjoy each other and our guests in fellowship. A warm welcome is extended to our visitors and thanks to those inside and outside our congregation who have come to assist and make this a special service of worship. Those in key roles today are: Alan Miller, Beadle, born in Paisley, Scotland, Saint Luke’s member and member of the St. Andrew’s Society; Yvonne Miller, playing recorder, born in Oban, Scotland, member of Saint Luke’s and the St. Andrew’s Society; Donald Malcolm, member of the St. Andrew’s Society and former National President of the Clan MacCallum-Malcolm Society of North America; Claire Pettys, Vice President of the St. Andrew’s Society of Atlanta and a member of Clan Graham; Greg Slaton, a member of Saint Luke’s, President of the St. Andrew’s Society of Atlanta, a member of Clan Hunter, and a Board member of the Burns Club of Atlanta.

The HistoryThe ceremony of Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan is of American origin, though based on Scottish history and legend. Scotland came under British rule following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The Scots were not allowed to wear their tartans, which represented Scottish heritage, for 50 years. The stubborn Scots would secretly carry a piece of their tartan to the Kirk (church) where the minister would slip in a blessing (a Kirkin’). The first Kirkin’ in the US was in 1943 at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.

Blessing of the Tartans The worship service is very traditional and much is based on the Church of Scotland. Central to its theme is the presentation of various tartans for a blessing. The Kirkin’ is intended to encourage all participants to reflect with thanksgiving on their own family and ethnic heritage, and to celebrate God’s grace poured out for all generations.

The BeadleA kilted Beadle leads the worship procession carrying the Bible to the front of the sanctuary and pulpit. Reminiscent of an old custom of the Church of Scotland, this tradition highlights the Bible as the Word of our Lord and the center of our faith.

The Evolution of the Kilt No doubt the most identifiable garment worn by the Scots is the kilt, regardless of the fabric. The kilt of modern times is made with eight yards of tartan, pleated together in the back, left unpleated in the front, and designed like a wrap-around apron. The modern kilt is made to cover only the lower half of the body, from the waist down to the knees. But in the late 1500’s, the Feileadh Mhor, or the Great Kilt (as seen on William Wallace in Braveheart), covered the body from the knees to the neck, and sometimes even the head.
