WORSHIP JULY 1, 2012
5TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
THE GATHERING Chris Peters
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament!
People: Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his
surpassing greatness.
Leader: Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with
tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!
People: Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing
cymbals!
Leader: Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!
All: Praise the Lord! - Psalm 150
* THE HYMN 220 All People That on Earth Do Dwell
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious God, you have made every living thing, placing us in a world of wonders
you sustain in your very being. And yet we think this is not so. We view your
action with disenchanted eyes not knowing that you are carrying us every day of
our lives. We place our faith in disciplines of our own making, thinking we can
contain the enormous wonder of the cosmos with equations and discoveries – not
realizing that in so doing we exchange faith in you and your creative power for
mere idols. Forgive our lack of faith. Enchant our minds with a vision of your gracious
sustenance such that wherever we look, we are surrounded by your grace.
We pray all these things through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: “For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us
who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
People: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the
discerning I will thwart.’
Leader: For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger
than human strength.” Believe the promise of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. - 1 Corinthians 1:18-19; 25
*THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 280)
The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
* 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 - 2nd grade in Room 001.

Shall we gather by the river, where bright angels' feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by
the throne of God. Yes, we'll gather by the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river, gather with the saints
by the river that flows by the throne of God. Soon we'll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will
cease, soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace.
