WORSHIP JANUARY 6, 2013
EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
THE GATHERING
Leader: The Lord be with you. Drew Stockstill
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
People: sing to the glory of his name; give him glorious praise.
Leader: Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your
enemies cringe before you.
People: All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to
your name.”
Leader: Let us worship God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. - Psalm 66:1-4
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 292 All Beautiful the March of Days
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Eternally gracious God, we confess that we are sinners. Whether through our
actions or our inaction, the good news you have entrusted to us has not cracked
our hearts nor escaped our lips. We question how you can love us and love others.
Calamities make us question you rather than ourselves. Our faith is limited;
scarce and parsimonious. We have heard rumors of what you can do, though,
and need to be shown again. We need to be cleansed of our unbelief, forgiven of
our sins, and sent on our way flush with your goodness. We pray this trusting in
your mercy and for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms,
People: and gently carry them in his bosom; and gently lead the mother sheep.
Leader: Believe the promise of the gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. - Isaiah 40:11
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 579)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST
(Children ages 3-10 are invited to leave after the Peace of Christ for special classes. Threes, fours & fives
are in Room 011; K-1st grade in Room 003; 2nd-3rd grade in Room 001; 4th-5th are in worship.)
THE CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH
(Visitors and members are invited to sign the blue friendship register pad and pass it down the pew.)
THE FIRST LESSON 1 Kings 17:8-16 (page 309 in the pew Bible, OT)
THE ANTHEM Quelle est cette odeur agréable? French carol, arr. Willcocks
(What is that goodly fragrance flowing?)
What is that light so brilliant, breaking here in the night across our eyes? Never so bright, the day-star
waking, started to climb the morning skies? Bethlehem! There in manger lying, find your Redeemer,
haste away; run ye with eager footsteps hieing! Worship the Saviour born today. Praise to the Lord of all
creation, glory to God, the fount of grace; may peace abide in every nation, good will to all of every race.
Praise to the Lord of all creation, glory to God, the fount of grace.
