WORSHIP JANUARY 9, 2011
BAPTISM OF THE LORD
THE GATHERING Bill Humphries
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Enter God's gates with thanksgiving and God's courts with praise.
People: Give thanks to God and bless God's name.
Leader: For the Holy One, our God, is good.
People: God's steadfast love endures forever and God's faithfulness to all
generations.
Leader: Children of God, welcome home!
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 488 The God of Abraham Praise
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God, you have shown us the path that love takes--submitting to the
needs of others, open to everyone, willing to suffer and endure. We confess that
we desire a different path--one where our interests are protected, our comfort is
preserved, and we decide who merits our attention. Such love does not resemble
yours. O Suffering Servant, forgive our faint efforts to follow you. Pour your love
into our hearts, that we might learn compassion, practice charity, and cultivate
both character and hope. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
*THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 417)

the Spirit, ever three and ever one; One in might and one in glory while unending
ages run.

* 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.
