WORSHIP JULY 29, 2012
9TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
THE GATHERING Melinda Sandkam
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 PROCESSIONAL HYMN 267 All Things Bright and Beautiful
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of love and comfort, you sent your Son Jesus to show us how to love others,
yet we have not always followed his directions. He told us to feed the hungry,
shelter the homeless and provide clothes for those in need. He taught us to visit
the sick and those in prison. We confess that we have not always followed the
teachings of Jesus. We often turn from those in need to the comfort of our own
home. Lord, help us reach out to all God’s children. We often misuse the earth
that God has created for us. Lord, help us to care for it and all the creatures on it.
Hear our prayers as we make them in Jesus’ name. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing: it is the
gift of God - not the result of works, so that no one might boast.
People: For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.
Leader: Believe the promise of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. - Ephesians 2:8-10
*THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 341)
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.

THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH

THE FIRST LESSON Ephesians 3:14-21 (page 182 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE ANTHEM Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord Claude Bass
Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee. He never shall suffer the righteous to
fall; He is at thy right hand. Lord, Thy mercy is great, and far above the heavens. Let none be
made ashamed that wait upon Thee.
THE SECOND LESSON Mark 8:27-9:1 (page 41 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE SERMON “Who Do YOU Say that I Am?” Baron Mullis
* THE HYMN 389 O Jesus, I Have Promised (verses 1, 2, and 4)
* THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH excerpts from Brief Statement of Faith
In life and in death we belong to God.
Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel,
whom alone we worship and serve.
We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God.
Jesus proclaimed the reign of God:
preaching good news to the poor
and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed
and blessing the children, healing the sick
and binding up the brokenhearted,
eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners,
and calling all to repent and believe the gospel.
In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit,
we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives,
even as we watch for God's new heaven and new earth,
praying, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
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 Blessed Assurance arr. Thygerson
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 369 I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE God Is My Strong Salvation (excerpt) Lovelace
