WE GATHER TO WORSHIP

Greeting Kirsten Homdrom One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

All: And also with you. One: Let us prepare for worship.

Preparation for WorshipLord our God, in Jesus Christ you have taught us that love is the fulfilling of the law. Send your Holy Spirit upon us, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love, that we may love you with our whole being, and our neighbors as ourselves; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Prelude - The peace may be exchanged from Rubrics Dan Locklair (b. 1949)

Christian Welcome and Announcements (8:00 & 11:00) Tracey Daniel; (9:30) Chip PopePlease pass the Friendship Register to your neighbor and include all requested information.

Call to Worship adapted from Psalm 145 One: Let us praise our God, our maker and our Lord. All: On earth and in heaven, let us bless the name of God forever and ever. One: Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised. All: Let us declare the mighty acts of God and study and meditate upon the beauty of the earth and the glory of the skies. One: With joy, let us worship our Lord and God! *Hymn 234 - Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain ST. KEVIN

*Act of Confession One: Why do we confess our sin? All: Because all of us have fallen short of the glory of God. One: Why do we confess together, as one church family? All: Because we are a covenant people - joined in the grace of God. One: Let us pray: All: We confess before your throne of mercy that we live in fear. Lord Jesus, free us from fear. We confess that we live in envy. Lord God, free us from jealous thoughts and phony desires. We confess that we rely too greatly upon what we already know and hold the mystery of faith in suspicion. Holy Spirit, open our souls and eyes that we might behold the beauty of faith-guided living. Hear our prayer, and forgive our sin. Amen.

*Assurance of Pardon

*Passing of the PeaceOne: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.All: And also with you.

*Response Hymn 317 - stanza 1 MC KEE In Christ there is no east or west, in him no south or north, but one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth.

Old Testament Lesson - Psalm 145:1-5; 17-21 (all singing)

1 I will extol you, my God and King, * and bless your name forever and ever. 2 Every day I will bless you, * and praise your name forever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; * his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall laud your works to another, * and shall declare your mighty acts. 5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty, * and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

17 The Lord is just in all his ways, * and kind in all his doings. 18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, * to all who call on him in truth. 19 Hefulfillsthedesireofallwhofearhim;* he also hears their cry, and saves them. 20 The Lord watches over all who love him, * but all the wicked he will destroy.

WE RESPOND TO GOD’S WORD

(8:00) OrdinationandInstallationofOfficer Elder: Tyler Craft

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer Jim Ferry 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.

Offertory Anthem - There is a Balm in Gilead arr. William L. Dawson (1898-1990)There is a Balm in Gilead, to make the wounded whole, there is a Balm in Gilead, to heal the sinsick soul. Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work’s in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. If you cannot sing like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul, you can tell the love of Jesus, and say “He died for all.”

*Offertory Response Hymn 643 - stanza 3 NUN DANKET ALLE GOTTAll praise and thanks to God, who reigns in highest heaven,to Father and to Son and Spirit now be given:the one eternal God, whom heaven and earth adore,the God who was, and is, and shall be evermore.

*AffirmationofFaithadapted from I Corinthians 15 Letusaffirmwhatwehavereceivedfromthesaintsandapostles:JesusChristdiedforoursinsin accordance with the scriptures. He was buried and then raised on the third day as the scriptures attested. HeappearedtoPeter,andthentotheotherdisciples.Heshowedhimselftofivehundredsistersand brothers. By this grace of God, we are made whole. God’s grace towards us is never in vain. We work and live for the sake of God’s love because the grace of Jesus is always with us. This is the faith we proclaim and believe.

WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

*Hymn 394 - Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation WESTMINSTER ABBEY *Charge and Benediction

*Closing Response Hymn 643 - stanza 1 NUN DANKET ALLE GOTT Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices, who wondrous things hath done, in whom this world rejoices; who, from our mothers’ arms, hath blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

*Chiming of the Trinity The worship service ends with the Chiming of the Trinity.

Please be mindful of those who remain to listen to the postlude.
