WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
INTROIT “Come to the Water” Foley
WE WORSHIP OUR GREAT GOD
*CALL to WORSHIP (responsive)
One: We gather together this morning around the table and the font.
Many: We remember God’s acts of salva%on and grace.
One: We remember salva�on through the waters of the flood and the Red Sea.
Many: We remember how You saved Your people through the water
Welcome to Sanctuary Worship!
We are so glad that you have joined us for worship today. Please take a moment to let us know who you are in the Friendship Pad.
If you need a hearing-enhancement device, a large-print hymnal, or a Children’s Worship Kit, please see an usher.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of WYOMING - CONNECTING with GOD, EACH OTHER & the WORLD
September 10, 2017
One: We remember Jesus sharing a final meal with his disciples.
Many: We remember bread being broken and a cup being shared.
One: We remember our own bap�sms and our own �mes of sharing this meal.
Many: We remember the grace given and hope enacted.
One: Let us worship God, Who acts through these elements of water,
of bread, of wine.
*HYMN 514 “Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ” (8 a.m., first/last verses; 11 a.m., all)
*PRAYER of CONFESSION (unison)
Lord, we know that we have created more divisions around the font and the table
than we have fostered unity. We know this in our history as Your church, and we
know that it has been in the present as well. We confess how we have forgo4en the
ways that You pour out Your grace and love and forgiveness through these ele-
ments. We confess that we have not fostered the unity these elements call for. As
we gather around the font and table this morning, remind us anew of the free gi6 of
grace and the call to unity that we receive and hear through the waters of bap%sm
and in the sharing of the meal. Amen.
*ASSURANCE of FORGIVENESS

NEW MEMBER RECOGNITION
ANTHEM “Praise, My Soul, the God of Heaven” Arr. Jon Spong
Commissioned for the 125th Anniversary of PCW in 1995
WE LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD
PRAYER for ILLUMINATION
SCRIPTURE READING 1 Corinthians 11:17-26
Now in the following instruc�ons I do not commend you, because when you come together
it is not for the be&er but for the worse. For, to begin with, when you come together as a
church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it. Indeed,
there have to be fac�ons among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are
genuine. When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper. For when the
�me comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry
and another becomes drunk. What! Do you not have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you
show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What should
I say to you? Should I commend you? In this ma&er I do not commend you!
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night
when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and
said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way he
took the cup also, a2er supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this,
as o2en as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as o2en as you eat this bread and
drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death un�l he comes.
Response: “Thanks be to God”
