WORSHIP OCTOBER 7, 2012
WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY

THE GATHERING Drew Stockstill
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.

THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist

* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly
of the faithful.
People: Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with
tambourine and lyre.
Leader: For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory.
People: Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches.
Leader: Let us worship God: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. - Psalm 149: 1, 3-5

* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 446 Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

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 our Lord Jesus. Amen.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)

THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: This is the message that we heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and
in him is no darkness at all.
People: If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in
darkness, we lie and do not do what is true. But if we walk in the light
as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and
the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Leader: Believe the promise of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. - 1 John 1:5-7
