The Baptism of Jesus & Celebration of Communion
The flowers gracing the altar are given to the glory of God and in memory of loved ones, in gratitude for a new year and to celebrate Rose Lood's 70th year of service to New Utrecht Church.
OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit "Come Holy Spirit, Dove Divine" H. Smith
Welcome
Call to Worship: St. Ephraem, 4th century
The sun conquers and the steps by which it approaches its zenith show forth a mystery.
LO! IT IS TWELVE DAYS SINCE HE BEGAN TO MOUNT UPWARD AND TODAY IS THE THIRTEENTH DAY.
It is the perfect symbol of the Son and his twelve apostles.
THE DARKNESS OF WINTER IS CONQUERED, TO SHOW THAT SATAN IS CONQUERED.
The sun conquers so that all may know:
THAT THE ONLY-BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD TRIUMPHS OVER ALL.
*Hymn 131 "Angels from the Realms of Glory"
Let us be before our God in silence.
Unison Prayer: Wisdom 12:12a, 13, 15, 16, 18
WHO WILL SAY, LORD, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" FOR THERE IS NOT ANY GOD BESIDES YOU WHOSE CARE IS FOR ALL PEOPLE...YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS AND YOU RULE ALL THINGS RIGHTEOUSLY...YOUR STRENGTH IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS...AND ALTHOUGH YOU ARE SOVEREIGN IN STRENGTH, YOU JUDGE WITH MILDNESS, AND WITH GREAT FORBEARANCE YOU GOVERN US.
Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance: Isaiah 62:1-5 and the Summary of God's Law (Mark 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.
