WORSHIP JULY 26, 2009
17TH 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 Glenn Small
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Voluntary in D Major Prelleur
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Long before the dawn and as the first light shines;
People: Praise the Lord.
Leader: Throughout the day and in every season;
People: Praise the Lord.
Leader: Sisters and brothers, praise the Lord.
People: The Lord's name be praised.
Leader: Let us worship God.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 478 Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious and merciful God, you have created us in your image. Yet, too
quickly we deny your life-giving ways. You teach us to forgive as we have
been forgiven. Yet, we cling to our anger and disappointments; we hold on to
our hurts and frustrations. You embrace us with your love. Yet, we hoard this
gift, hesitant to embrace our neighbor and share the love you so freely give.
By your steadfast love and mercy, release us from our sinfulness. Return to us
the joy of your salvation. Hear, O Lord, our prayer for your forgiveness. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 466)
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through
all the earth abroad the honors of Thy name.
* 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 204; Pre-K in G-11; K - 2nd grade in G-1; 3rd - 5th grades in G-3.)
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH
(Visitors and members are invited to sign the blue friendship register pad and pass it down the pew.)
THE FIRST LESSON Psalm 13 Joe Ballay
(page 468 in the pew Bible)
THE ANTHEM I Need Thee Every Hour Beck
Stefanie Sudduth, soloist
I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; no tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.
THE SECOND LESSON Ephesians 3:14-21 (page 182 in the pew Bible)
THE SERMON "Holy Conversation" Christopher Henry
"I pray that...Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love."
Ephesians 3:16-17
* THE HYMN 165 When in the Night I Meditate
(verses 1 through 5)
* 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.
