Reformation Sunday
Proper 25B

The flowers gracing the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Julia Speratore by Robert & Lorie Honor and sons.

We invite you to maintain a spirit of silence as the prelude begins our service.

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude "Precious Lord" T. Dorsey
Introit "The Lord is in His Holy Temple"

Welcome

Call to Worship: G. MacLeod, Church of Scotland
The morning is yours, rising into fulness.
THE SUMMER IS YOURS, DIPPING INTO FALL.
Eternity is yours, dipping into time. All are yours.

*Hymn 277 "The Church's One Foundation" S. Stone

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: John Calvin
OUR GOD, FATHER AND PRESERVER, WHO IN YOUR GOODNESS HAS WATCHED OVER ME IN THIS PAST NIGHT AND BROUGHT ME TO THIS GREAT DAY, GRANT THAT I MAY SPEND THE DAY WHOLLY IN YOUR SERVICE. LET ME NOT THINK OR SAY OR DO A SINGLE THING THAT IS NOT IN OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WILL; BUT RATHER, LET ALL MY ACTIONS BE DIRECTED TO YOUR GLORY AND THE SALVATION OF OF MY BRETHREN. LET ME ATTEMPT NOTHING THAT IS NOT PLEASING TO YOU; BUT RATHER LET ME SEEK HAPPINESS ONLY IN YOUR GRACE AND GOODNESS.

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.
