WORSHIP JULY 19, 2009
16TH 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 Enter His Courts With Praise Mason
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us,
People: that your way may be known upon earth, your saving power among
all nations.
Leader: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.
People: Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
Leader: for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth.
People: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.
Leader: The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, has blessed us.
All: May God continue to bless us; let all the ends of the earth revere him.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 263 Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty and most merciful God; We have erred and strayed from your ways
like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our
own hearts. We have offended against your holy laws. We have left undone
those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things
which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But you, O
Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore
those who are penitent, according to your promises declared unto humankind
in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful God, for his
sake; That we may hereafter live a godly and righteous life, to the glory of Thy
holy name. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)

My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all
the earth abroad the honors of Thy name.

IV: Hosea
I will not execute my fierce anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and no mortal, the Holy One in your
midst, and I will not come in wrath. Hosea 11:9
* THE HYMN 413 All Who Love and Serve Your City
* THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH A Brief Statement of Faith, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
We trust in God,
whom Jesus called Abba, Father.
In sovereign love God created the world good
and makes everyone equally in God's image
male and female, of every race and people,
to live as one community.
But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.
Ignoring God's commandments,
we violate the image of God in others and ourselves,
accept lies as truth,
exploit neighbor and nature,
and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care.
We deserve God's condemnation.
Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem creation.
With believers in every time and place,
we rejoice that nothing in life or in death
can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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.
