WORSHIP AUGUST 23, 2009
21ST 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 Improvisation on ‘Hyfrydol' Manz
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Let us pray together:
All: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our
hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may
perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 288 I Sing the Mighty Power of God
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE LITANY OF CONFESSION
Leader: All-seeing and all-knowing God, You search and know us.
People: Look upon us now, we pray.
Leader: When lured by other gods we turn from you,
People: Forgive and restore us, we pray.
Leader: When professing faith we tolerate wrong,
People: Forgive and restore us, we pray.
Leader: When providing more than enough for ourselves we deprive those who will follow
us tomorrow,
People: Forgive and restore us, we pray.
Leader: When attempting all with our own hand we forget the work of your all-powerful
hands,
People: Forgive and restore us, we pray.
Leader: Forgiven and restored, O loving God, may we worship you in truth and offer you
fruitful lives.
Unison: Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON

THE MINUTE MESSAGE Jane Stack
THE FIRST LESSON Exodus 20:8-11 Daisy Ottmann
(page 64 in the pew Bible)
THE ANTHEM Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord (from Elijah) Mendelssohn
Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee. He never will suffer the righteous to fall.
He is at thy right hand. Thy mercy, Lord, is great; and far above the heavens. Let none be made
ashamed that wait upon Thee.
THE SECOND LESSON John 14:25-27 (page 103 in the pew Bible)

your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. John 14:27
* THE HYMN Be Still My Soul (see insert)
* 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.
