THE PRELUDE Walter Huff

afraid?

life,
Leader: To behold the beauty of the Lord,
People: And to inquire in his temple.
All: We will sing and make melody to the Lord.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 274 O God of Earth and Space
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, your face is
hidden from us by our sins, and we forget your mercy in the blindness of
our hearts. Cleanse us from all our offenses, and deliver us from proud
thoughts and vain desires.
With lowliness and meekness may we draw near to you, confessing our
faults, confiding in your grace, and finding in you our refuge and
strength; through Jesus Christ your Son. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 417)
Laud and honor to the Father, laud and honor to the Son, laud and honor to
the Spirit, ever three and ever one; One in might and one in glory while
unending ages run.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST
(Children ages 2-11 are invited to leave after the Passing of the Peace for special classes. Preschoolers are

THE OLD TESTAMENT LESSON Psalm 105:1-6 (page 525 in the Pew Bible)
THE ANTHEM Go Not Far from Me Zingarelli
Go not far from me, O God. Cast me not away in the time of woe. Forsake me not when
my strength faileth me. O let my mouth be filled with Thy praise, that I may sing Thy glory
and honor all the day long.
THE NEW TESTAMENT LESSON Matthew 14:22-33 (page 15 in the Pew Bible)
THE SERMON "The Stumble of Faith" David Weitnauer
"And Peter answered Jesus, ‘Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water.'
Jesus said, ‘Come.'" Matthew 14:28, 29a
* THE HYMN 396 O for a Closer Walk with God
* THE APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose
again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right
hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the
quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion
of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life
everlasting. Amen.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD'S PRAYER
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.
