1 O Worship the King (Music: Johann Michael Haydn, Words: Robert Grant) Last Sunday After Pentecost / Christ the King November 26, 2017 Our service begins on p. 413, Confirmation, in The Book of Common Prayer. O worship the King all glorious above And gratefully sing His wonderful love Our shield and defender the ancient of days Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise O tell of His might and sing of His grace Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form And dark is His path on the wings of the storm All hail to the King in splendor enthroned Glad praises we bring thy wonders make known Returning victorious, great conqueror of sin King Jesus, all glorious our victory will win (Repeat Verse 1) Here is Love (Music: Robert S. Lowry & Matt Redman, Words: William Rees & Matt Redman) Here is love vast as the ocean loving kindness as the flood When the prince of life our ransom shed for us his precious blood (Repeat) Who His love will not remember who can cease to sing his praise He can never be forgotten throughout heavenʼs eternal days On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide Through the floodgates of Godʼs mercy lowed a vast a gracious tide Peace and love like mighty rivers flowed incessant from above Heavenʼs peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love Who His love will not remember who can cease to sing his praise He can never be forgotten throughout heavenʼs eternal days Bridge No love is higher, no love is wider No love is deeper, no love is truer No love is higher, no love is wider No love is like your love oh Lord (Repeat) THE WORD OF GOD (All standing) Celebrant: Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

3 Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46 (Before the reading...) Gospeler: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew. Glory to you, LORD Christ. (At the conclusion of the reading...) Gospeler: The Gospel of the LORD. Praise to you, LORD Christ. Sermon (Silence to hear God speak.) Bishop Gerry Schnackenberg PRESENTATION & EXAMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES The Candidates will now be presented. Presenter: I present these persons for Confirmation. Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil? Candidates: I do. Do you renew your commitment to Jesus Christ? Candidates: I do, and with God s grace I will follow him as my Savior and Lord. After all have been presented, the Bishop addresses the congregation, Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ? We will. Let us join with those who are committing themselves to Christ and renew our own baptismal covenant. The Baptismal Covenant Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

4 Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? Prayers for the Candidates Let us now pray for these persons who have renewed their commitment to Christ. Almighty God, we thank you that by the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ you have overcome sin and brought us to yourself, and that by the sealing of your Holy Spirit you have bound us to your service. Renew in these your servants the covenant you have made with them at their Baptism. Send them forth in the power of that Spirit to perform the service you set before them; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. For Confirmation Strengthen, O Lord, your servant with your Holy Spirit; empower him/her for your service; and sustain him/her all the days of their life. Amen. (Today s confirmands are Anissa Luk, Phoebe Dominguez, Madelynn Nackerud, Nwanma Udokwu, Graham Drews and Rose Sarchet.) The Peace Celebrant: Almighty and everlasting God, let your fatherly hand ever be over these your servants; let your Holy Spirit ever be with them; and so lead them in the knowledge and obedience of your Word, that they may serve you in this life, and dwell with you in the life to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. (The ministers and the people greet one another in the name of the Lord.)

Communion Songs House of God Forever (Words & Music by Jon Foreman) God is my shepherd, I won't be wanting, I won't be wanting He makes me rest, in fields of green, with quiet streams Even though I walk through the valley, of death and dying I will not fear, 'cause You are with me, You are with me Chorus Your Shepherd s staff comforts me You are my feast in the presence of enemies Surely goodness will follow me, follow me In the house of God forever God is my shepherd, I won't be wanting, I won't be wanting He makes me rest, in fields of green, by quiet streams Even while I'm walking, through the valley, of death and dying I will not fear 'cause You are with me, You're always with me Rock of Ages (Augustus Montague Toplady, Thomas Hastings) Rock of Ages, cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee Let the water and the blood from Thy wounded side which flowed Be of sin the double cure save from wrath and make me pure Not the labors of my hands can fulfill Thy law's demands Could my zeal no respite know could my tears forever flow All for sin could not atone thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring simply to the cross I cling Naked, come to Thee for dress helpless, look to Thee for grace Foul, I to the fountain fly wash me, Savior, or I die While I draw this fleeting breath when mine eyes shall close in death When I soar to worlds unknown see Thee on Thy judgment throne Rock of Ages, cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee Post Communion Prayer BCP, p. 366 Celebrant and Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom.
