WORSHIP JULY 5, 2009
14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Our preparation for worship is as follows: 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 Joanna Adams
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing arr. John Innes
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP Bart Smith
Leader: Praise the Lord, you who worship God. Stand in awe of God and give glory to
the Lord.
People: For the Lord does not despise the poor and needy, but when they
cry out, God answers them.
Leader: The hungry shall eat and be satisfied, and those who love the Lord shall offer
praise.
People: All the ends of the earth shall worship God, for the Lord rules over
every nation.
Leader: With boldness and faith, let us worship the living God!
* THE HYMN 142 All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name!
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Righteous God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought,
word, and deed. We have professed our faith in you, and our loyalty to you;
but our words ring hollow. We do not live by the truth we speak. We turn
aside from those in greatest need, and fail to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Forgive us for seeking to serve you merely by saying the right things. Empower
us by your Spirit to live according to your word, so that people may see
our good works, and glorify you as the true Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 280)
The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
* 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
