WORSHIP JULY 7, 2013
14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THE GATHERING Baron Mullis
Leader: The Lord be with you.
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 the glory of God’s name; give God glorious praise.
Leader: Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!"
People: All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you.
Leader: Let us sing praises to God! Let us worship the Lord!
-Psalm 66
* THE HYMN 356 Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy God, your loving kindness surrounds us at all times. You lift us from pits
of despair, hopelessness, and fear. You heal our hurt and brokenness. But we
confess that we often don’t feel your presence. We fear you do not hear our
cries. We wonder if you even see us. In our pain we turn to you and demand a
response but in our comfort and prosperity we are often the ones who forget
you, do not listen for your voice, and turn our faces from you. Forgive our willful
ignorance and pride, O God. Help us to be mindful of your loving kindness
in our lives and to turn to you in times of pain and in times of joy. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
People: God will not always accuse or be angry forever. God does not deal
with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our
wrongful acts.
Leader: For as the heavens are high about the earth, so great is God’s steadfast love toward us.
So believe the good news of the gospel!
People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven! -Psalm 103
THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 280)
The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
