WORSHIP JULY 12, 2009
15TH 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 Christopher Henry
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE The Day, That Is So Joyful Buxtehude
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Our Lord Jesus said:
People: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all
your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first
commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the
law and the prophets.
All: Let us worship God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 223 O My Soul, Bless Your Redeemer (verses 1 - 6)
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty God: 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. We are lazy servants, timid and heartless,
who turn neighbors away from your love. Have mercy on us, O God, and,
though we do not deserve your care, forgive us, and free us from sin; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 579)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST

THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH

church. We are the family of God for we are all one in Christ.
THE CHORAL RESPONSE Child of Blessing, Child of Promise Copes
THE FIRST LESSON Isaiah 42:1-7 (responsive) (page 630 in the pew Bible)

Sheryl Wingert, soprano
* 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.
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 374 Lord, Make Us Servants of Your Peace
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE Benediction and Sevenfold Amen Scott
