Order of Service

9th November 2003
Proper 27B

(27th Sunday after Pentecost)


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

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude “Be Calm My Soul”
Introit “Only Believe”

Welcome

Call to Worship: Psalm 29
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
WORSHIP THE LORD IN HOLY SPLENDOR!
The voice of the Lord is over the waters.
THE GOD OF GLORY THUNDERS,  THE LORD, OVER THE MIGHTLY WATERS.
The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forest bare;
AND IN HIS TEMPLE ALL SAY, “GLORY!”

*Hymn “God Beyond Us, God Within Us”

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: Psalm 123
TO YOU I LIFT UP MY EYES, O YOU WHO ARE ENTHRONED IN THE
HEAVENS!  HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
FOR WE HAVE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH OF CONTEMPT. AS THE
EYES OF SERVANTS LOOK TO THE HAND OF THEIR MASTER,
SO OUR EYES LOOK TO YOU THE LORD OUR 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 12:29b-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.

Anthem “Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts” Bernard of Clairvaux

AMEN, AMEN!
