WORSHIP SEPTEMBER 6, 2009
23RD 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 Sara Hayden
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Partita on "The Lord is My Shepherd" Gordon Young
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Let us speak of the glorious deeds of God and God's might.
People: We will not hide them from our children, we will tell them to the
coming generation.
Leader: Let us rise up and tell the children, so that they should set their hope in God.
People: That they should not forget the words of God but keep God's
commandments.
Leader: Together, let us worship the living God!
* THE HYMN 356 Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God, you deliver from distress those who cry to you in their trou-
ble. We who are in trouble raise our voices to you. Deliver us, we pray, from
the burden of sin: from wanting too much to impress others and needing to
prove our worth; from inner confusion that has us say one thing but do an-
other-foolishly pursuing what does not lead to life; from oppressive and un-
just practices; from bondage to greed and desire. Lord, deliver and redeem us.
Gather us in from our wandering and lead us by your way. 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 417)
Laud and honor to the Father, laud and honor to the Son, laud and honor to
the Spirit, ever three and ever one; One in might and one in glory while un-
ending ages run.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST

Room 208; Pre-K in 011; K - 1st grade in 001; 2nd - 3rd grade in 003; 4th - 6th grade in 005.)
