Order of Service

16th November 2003
Proper 28B

(28th Sunday after Pentecost)

The flowers gracing the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Francis X. O'Brien, Stepfather of Bob McNellis by Mimi and Bob.

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

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude “He Lifted Me” C. Gabriel
Introit “Draw Nigh to God” J. Croft

Welcome

Call to Worship: Psalm 91
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, GOD IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS, MY GOD IN WHOM I TRUST.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.
WE WILL CALL UPON GOD AND GOD ANSWERS US; GOD IS WITH US IN TROUBLE; GOD WILL DELIVER US AND HONOR US. WITH LONG LIFE GOD WILL SATISFY US AND SHOW US HIS SALVATION!

*Hymn 441 “Take Time to Be Holy”

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: Psalm 84
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN YOU, WHO HAVE SET THEIR HEARTS ON PILGRIMAGE. AS THEY PASS THROUGH THE VALLEY OF BACA, THEY MAKE IT A PLACE OF SPRINGS; THE AUTUMN RAINS ALSO COVER IT WITH POOLS. THEY GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH TILL EACH APPEARS BEFORE GOD IN ZION. HEAR OUR PRAYER, O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, LISTEN TO US, GOD OF JACOB!

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


A Word of Assurance: Psalm 85:9-13

The Summary of God's 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 “Psalm 42” Danna Harkim

AMEN, AMEN!
