WORSHIP JUNE 2, 2013
9TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
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!
People: Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Leader: I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
People: I will sing praises to my God all my life long.
Leader: Let us worship the Lord our God. Psalm 146:1-2
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 274 O God of Earth and Space
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Almighty God, you alone are holy. You alone are greater than our minds can
conceive. You alone are the beginning and end. You are a holy mystery beyond
explanation, and worthy of worship. We confess that we fail to worship you as
you are. We blur the distinction between creator and creation. We lapse into
idolatry seeking to impose our image on you in place of holy mystery. Forgive
us, we pray and open our minds to the wideness of your unexpected, unpredictable
grace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, so that whoever believes in him may
not perish but have eternal life.
People: Indeed, God sent the Son not into the world that the world might
be condemned but so that the world through him might be saved.
Leader: Believe the promise of the Gospel:
People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. John 3:16-17
*THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 341)
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long;
