Proper 21

The flowers gracing the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of our parents, Dorothy & John O'Connor and Grace & William McNellis by Bob and Mimi.

We invite you to maintain a spirit of silence as the prelude begins our service.
  Thanks for being here!

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude "Prelude" E. Bossi
Introit "Only Believe" P. Rader
     Only believe, only believe;
      All things are possible, only believe. (Repeat)

Welcome

Call to Worship: Psalm 42
These things I remember, as I pour out my soul:
HOW I WENT WITH THE THRONG AND LED THEM IN PROCESSION TO THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND GLAD SHOUTS AND SONGS OF THANKSGIVING.
Hope in God!
FOR I SHALL AGAIN PRAISE HIM, MY HELP AND MY GOD!

*Hymn 16 "We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer"

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: Psalm 43
VINDICATE ME, O GOD, AND DEFEND MY CAUSE, FOR YOU ARE THE GOD IN WHOM I TAKE REFUGE. O SEND OUT YOUR LIGHT AND YOUR TRUTH; LET THEM LEAD ME; LET THEM BRING ME TO YOUR HOLY HILL AND TO YOUR DWELLING. THEN I WILL GO TO THE ALTAR OF GOD, TO GOD MY EXCEEDING JOY; AND I WILL PRAISE YOU WITH THE HARP, O GOD, MY GOD.


Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.

A Word of Assurance

The Summary of the Law (Mk 12: 29-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL, 
THE LORD OUR GOD, 
THE LORD IS ONE!  
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD 
WITH ALL YOUR HEART, 
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, 
WITH ALL YOUR MIND, 
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.

This is the second commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
There is no greater commandment than these.
