WORSHIP JUNE 7, 2009
TRINITY SUNDAY
This Sunday, a new way of preparation for worship is being introduced. Before the
prelude begins, the liturgist for the morning will greet the congregation from the
lectern, saying "The Lord be with you." The people will respond, "And also with you." At
this point, the prelude will begin. After the prelude, the chimes will be sounded, and the
call to worship will take place, followed by the processional hymn. Our goal is to make
the sanctuary as worshipful as possible as the congregation gathers to honor God's holy
name.
THE GATHERING
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE My Shepherd Will Supply My Need Wood
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Christopher Henry
Leader: Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
People: God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so
that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may
have eternal life.
All: Thanks be to God.
* THE HYMN 459 Father, We Praise Thee
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Everlasting God, in whom we live and move and have our being, you have
made us for yourself, so that our hearts are restless until they rest in you. In
Jesus Christ you called us to be a servant people, but we do not do what you
command. We are often silent when we should speak, and useless when we
could be useful. Have mercy on us, O God. Forgive us and free us from sin.
Give us purity of heart and strength of purpose, that no selfish passion may
hinder us from knowing your will, no weakness keep us from doing it; that in
your light we may see light clearly, and in your service find perfect freedom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever. 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 Peace of Christ for special classes. Three-year-olds are in
Room 208; Pre-K in 011; K - 2nd grade in 001; 3rd - 5th grades in G-3.)
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH

THE RECEPTION OF NEW MEMBERS

THE SCRIPTURE READING John 3:1-17 (page 88 in the pew Bible)
THE SERMON "Twice Born Christians" Joanna Adams
Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without

Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give thanks and praise.
Sanctus: Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might, (Hymn 581)
Heaven and earth are full of your glory; Hosanna in the
highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna
in the highest.
Communion of the People
Prayer after the Meal
* THE HYMN 151 Crown Him with Many Crowns (verses 1, 2 and 4)
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
