WORSHIP FEBRUARY 20, 2011
7TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THE GATHERING Link Marx
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our
salvation!
People: Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful
noise to him with songs of praise.
Leader: O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
People: For he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the sheep of
his hand.
Leader: Let us worship God, who creates, redeems and sustains us. Amen.
- Psalm 95:1-2; 6-7
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 229 From All That Dwell Below the Skies
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, we know that we have fallen short of your calling for us. We know
that you have offered us life abundant and we have settled for life parsimonious.
You have offered us the fellowship and communion of the Holy Spirit and we have
preferred our own ways of being community. You have given us the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, and we have preferred instead what we could contain, a harsh
and cold grace that we can hold in reserve. Forgive us when we limit our discipleship.
Remind us once more of what is exceedingly abundantly more than we
could ever ask or imagine, and then lead us there. Through our Lord Jesus Christ
we pray, Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound?
People: By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?
Leader: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were
baptized into his death?
People: Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so
that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father,
so we too might walk in newness of life.
Leader: Believe the promise of the gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! - Romans 6:1-4
*THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 210)
Before the hills in order stood, or earth received its frame, from everlasting
Thou art God, to endless years the same. Amen.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST
(Children ages 2-11 are invited to leave after the Peace of Christ for special classes. Three through five-yearolds in Room 011; K - 1st grade in Room 001; 2nd - 3rd grade in Room 003; Double Digits are in Room 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 FIRST LESSON 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 (page 157 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE ANTHEM I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Lloyd Pfautsch
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the
Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth
thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is
thy keeper and thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon
by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil, shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve
thy going out and coming in from this time forth and for evermore. - from Psalm 121
THE SECOND LESSON Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18 (page 102 in the pew Bible, OT)
THE SERMON “Rules for Living” Baron Mullis
* THE HYMN 400 When We Are Living
* THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH from The Confession of 1967
The church calls everyone to use their abilities, their possessions, and the
fruits of technology as gifts entrusted to us by God for the maintenance of our
families and the advancement of the common welfare. It encourages those forces
in human society that raise our hopes for better conditions and provide all with
opportunity for a decent living. A church that is indifferent to poverty, or
evades responsibility in economic affairs, or is open to one social class only, or
expects gratitude for its beneficence makes a mockery of reconciliation and offers
no acceptable worship to God. (amended for inclusive language)
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 OFFERTORY Lord Christ, Only Son of God Buxtehude
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 422 God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE Blessed Art Thou, O Lord of Our Fathers Martin Shaw
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
