WORSHIP SEPTEMBER 25, 2011
26th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THE GATHERING Tim Gargis
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us.
People: That your way may be known upon the earth, your saving power
among the nations.
Leader: Let the peoples praise you, O God, let all the peoples praise you.
People: Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples
with equity and guide the nations upon the earth.
Leader: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.
People: The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, has blessed us.
May God continue to bless us; let all the ends of the earth revere him!
Leader: Let us worship God, our creator, redeemer and sustainer, Amen. - Psalm 67
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 478 Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, when we read the parables of Jesus, sometimes we see ourselves.
Sometimes we are the laborers who have borne the heat of the day. Sometimes we
are the latecomers who receive the benefits of others’ work and faith. Sometimes
we miss the lesson that grace is a free gift. Perhaps we even resent that grace is
wasted on sinners. Forgive us, we pray. Remind us again how much you love us
all, remind us of how you came for us all, for the sinner and the saint in each of us.
We ask all these things in Jesus’ name and for his sake. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: In fact, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.
People: For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the
dead has also come through a human being.
Leader: For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. Believe the promise
of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! - Romans 15:20-33
*THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 466)
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the
earth abroad the honors of Thy name.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST
(Children ages 3-11 are invited to leave after the Baptism for special classes. Three through five-year-olds in
Room 011; K-1st grade in Room 001; 2nd-3rd grade in Room 003; 4th-5th 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 SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
People: With joy and thanksgiving we welcome this child into Christ’s church.
We are the family of God for we are all one in Christ.
THE CHORAL RESPONSE Jesus Loves Me Swedish, arr. Kemp
THE FIRST LESSON Philippians 1:21-30 (page 185 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE ANTHEM With a Voice of Singing Kenneth Jennings
With a voice of singing declare ye, and tell this; utter it even to the end of the earth. Hallelujah!
The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands. Sing forth
the honor of his Name; make his praise glorious.
THE SECOND LESSON Matthew 20:1-16 (page 20 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE SERMON “The Perils of Being a Morning Person” Baron Mullis
* THE HYMN 408 Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life (verses 1 through 4)
* 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.
THE OFFERTORY Trumpet Tune in D Major Henry Purcell
THE COMMISSIONING OF HAITI PILGRIMAGE TEAM
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 298 There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight Michael Costello
We walk by faith and not by sight; with gracious words draw near, O Christ, who spoke as
none e’er spoke: “My peace be with you here, my peace be with you here.” That, when our life
of faith is done, in realms of clearer light we may behold you as you are, with full and endless
sight, with full and endless sight.
