Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God

Service of WorshipTwentieth Sunday after Pentecost

October 10, 2010Eleven o’clock in the morning

Today’s Old Testament and Gospel lessons both tell stories about lepers. In 2 Kings, Israel’s King Naaman suffers from leprosy but is made clean after he reluctantly follows Elisha’s instruction to wash in the Jordan River seven times. In Luke, Jesus encounters ten lepers and heals all of them, but only one—the foreigner—returns to offer thanks to God for having been healed. In the passage from 2 Timothy, Paul reflects on his own suffering and encourages endurance in Christ—the one who is faithful, even when we are faithless.

“Naaman is restored to life in the Jordan river,” by Caspar Luiken, 1712.

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

offertory All Wisdom Cometh from the Lord Philip Moore (b. 1943)

All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him forever. Who can number the sand of the sea and drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep and wisdom? Wisdom hath been created before all things and the understanding of prudence from everlasting. The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom, and her ways are everlasting commandments. To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? Or who hath known her wise counsels? There is one wise and greatly to the feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne. He created her, and saw her and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works. She is with all flesh according to his gifts, and he hath given her to them that love him. The fear of the Lord is honor and glory and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing. The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and bringeth joy and gladness and a long life. Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the way of thy commandments; for therein is my desire. O stablish thy word in thy servant; that I may fear thee. Behold, my delight is in thy commandments; O quicken me in thy righteousness. —Sirach 1:1-6, 8-12 and Psalm 119:33-35, 38-40

*DoxoloGy lasst uns erfreuen

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise God above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
