WORSHIP SEPTEMBER 2, 2012
22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

THE GATHERING Shavon Starling-Louis
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.

THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist

* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: “Praise the Lord, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!
People: For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of
the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!”
Leader: Let us worship God, who creates us, redeems us and sustains us. Amen.
- Psalm 117

* THE HYMN 423 Jesus Shall Reign Where’er the Sun (verses 1 through 5)

THE CALL TO CONFESSION

THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternal God, remind us of our baptism as we prepare to come to your table.
Remind us of your unmerited, unconditional love for sinners as we listen to
your Word that we might acknowledge our sin, take comfort in your forgiveness freely given, and turn ourselves to the way you would have us go. We ask
these things because we know that we have sinned, and we need forgiveness.
Guide our hearts and our minds in this moment and in each passing moment
that we might be more and more the disciples you have called and that we might
offer the grace we have received to others. We pray this in the name of the one
who carried our sin, our Lord Jesus. 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

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;
