THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
THE INTROIT Bless God’s Holy Name Kenneth Kosche
Treble Choir (Rebecca Shipley, director)
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
People: My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.
Leader: O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
People: I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from
all my fears.
Leader: Look to him, and be radiant, so your faces shall never be ashamed.

* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 459 Father, We Praise Thee
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, we have not lived up to our calling. You have shown us your way.
In Jesus Christ, you swept away the boundaries of sin and brokenness and invited
us into fellowship. We have resolutely set our minds and our hands to rebuilding
those barriers. We do not embrace the other. We believe our own righteousness
and the sin of others to be insurmountable. We have not lived as though your
grace is sufficient for all our needs. So forgive us, we pray. Forgive us, and bring
us to that place of childlike love and friendship to which you have called us.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
People: But we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are,
yet without sin.
Leader: Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Believe the promise of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. - Hebrews 4:15-16
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (KYRIE) (Hymn 572)
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST
(Children ages 3-8 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 grades are in Room 003.)

THE FIRST LESSON Jeremiah 31:31-34 David York
(page 691 in the pew Bible, OT)
THE ANTHEM The Lord Is My Shepherd David Childs
Travis Cottle, trombone
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in pastures green. He leadeth me the
quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness,
e’en for His own name’s sake. Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear no ill, for
Thou art with me and Thy rod and staff me comfort still. Goodness and mercy all my life shall follow me
wherever I walk. And in God’s house, my dwelling place shall be forevermore.
THE SECOND LESSON John 12:20-33 (page 100 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE SERMON “We Wish To See Jesus” Baron Mullis
* THE HYMN 408 Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
(verses 1 through 4, 6)
* 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 Prelude in F-Sharp Minor J.S. Bach
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 391 Take My Life
(verses 1 through 4, 6)
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE Vouchsafe, O Lord (from Te Deum) John Rutter
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us. O Lord, let Thy
mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in Thee. O Lord, in Thee have I trusted. Let me never be confounded.
