Mardi Gras Sunday

The flowers gracing the altar are given to the glory of God and in memory of Marion & Joe Giannini from Rose and Susan.

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit "Open Our Eyes Lord"

Welcome and Call to Worship: Ps 81
Sing aloud to God our strength
SHOUT FOR JOY TO THE GOD OF JACOB!
Raise a song, sound the timbrel,
THE SWEET LYRE WITH THE HARP!
Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
AT THE FULL MOON, ON OUR FEAST DAY!

*Hymn 454 "Glorious Is Thy Name Most Holy"

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer:
Psalm 85 LORD, YOU LOVED YOUR LAND, BROUGHT JACOB BACK, FORGOT OUR GUILT, FORGAVE OUR SINS, SWALLOWED YOUR ANGER. TURN, REVIVE US, NOURISH OUR JOY, SHOW US YOUR MERCY, SAVE US, LORD! THEN LOVE AND FIDELITY WILL EMBRACE, PEACE AND JUSTICE KISS.

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

A Word of Assurance (Ps 81:7-10) and The Summary of the Law (Mark 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,

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