WORSHIP JANUARY 10, 2010
BAPTISM OF THE LORD
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 Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
People: Before the mountains were brought forth,
Leader: or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
All: from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
- from Psalm 90
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 138 Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty and 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. O Lord,
have mercy upon us. Spare those who confess their faults. Restore those who are penitent,
according to your promises declared to the world in Christ Jesus our Lord. And
grant, O merciful God, for his sake, that we may live a holy, just, and humble life for
the glory of your holy name. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 473)
For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth, and
friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild, Lord of all to thee we raise this our
hymn of grateful praise.
* 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 208; Pre-K in 011; K - 1st grade in 001; 2nd - 3rd grade in 003; 4th - 6th grade in 005.)
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH
(Visitors and members are invited to sign the blue friendship register pad and pass it down the pew.)
THE SECOND LESSON I Corinthians 15:selected verses (page 165 in the pew Bible)
THE SERMON "Tell" Joanna Adams
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received:
that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures... I Corinthians 15:3
* THE HYMN Be Still, My Soul (see insert)
* THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (A Brief Statement of Faith-Presbyterian Church USA)
In life and in death we belong to God.
Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel,
whom alone we worship and serve.
In a broken and fearful world
the Spirit gives us courage
to pray without ceasing,
to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior,
to unmask idolatries in Church and culture,
to hear the voices of peoples long silenced,
and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace.
The same Spirit
who inspired the prophets and apostles
rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture,
engages us through the Word proclaimed,
and calls women and men to all ministries of the church.
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.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. 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 FIRST LESSON Luke 24:1-10 Robert Gray
(page 84 in the pew Bible)
THE ANTHEM Great Is Thy Faithfulness arr. Gilbert Martin
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest
not, Thy compassions, they fail not. As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be. Morning by morning new
mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! Summer
and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon and stars in their courses above, join with all nature
in manifold witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth;
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten-thousand beside!
THE OFFERTORY I Am With You In Spirit (Arlan Sunnarborg); Chancel Choir with Tami Giusto, soloist and Ann Lillya, Oboe; January 10, 2010. This composition was commissioned in 2009 in honor of Joanna M. Adams. Introduction by Rev. Chris Henry and Mr. Arlan Sunnarborg.
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 374 Lord, Make Us Servants of Your Peace (verses 1 through 5)
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE The Lord Bless You and Keep You Rutter
