The Introit Ralph Vaughan Williams ( ) O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: blest is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8 Max Cook, treble PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING At the Procession,* Hymn 173 Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies Ratisbon The Invitation* Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another. Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another. Confession and Pardon* Let us confess our sins before God. Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all people: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father. For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Hear the Good News: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God. Amen.

3 Ritual of Christian Fellowship* ** The people are seated. Concerns and Celebrations of the Congregation PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD The Gospel Lesson* Luke 9:28-36 following the reading Minister The Gospel of the Lord. People Thanks be to God! Sermon Inspiration from the Mountaintop At the Offertory, An offering is collected to support the work of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church sharing God s love with the world. Prayer Anthem Gloria in Excelsis (Coronation) Charles Villiers Stanford ( ) Glory be to God on high, and in earth peace, good will towards men. We praise thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee, we glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory. O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. O Lord, the only begotten Son Jesus Christ. O Lord God, Lamb of God Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world have mercy upon us, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For Thou only art holy. Thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen. At the Presentation* Hymn 95 Melanie Burbules, soprano The Chancel Choir Tune: Old Hundredth Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

4 THE HOLY COMMUNION Sanctus* The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth. Through Moses you revealed yourself to us and gave us the Law. Through Elijah you told of your desire for us and pointed the way toward salvation. And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven we praise your name and join their unending hymn: The people are seated. Holy are you, and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ. You revealed his holy nature when he was transfigured before Peter and James and John. By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection you gave birth to your Church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. On the night in which he gave himself up for us, he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. When the supper was over he took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith.

5 Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and wine. Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed by his blood. By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory and we feast at his heavenly banquet. Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty God, now and forever. The Breaking of the Bread The Agnus Dei At The Administration: Motet: Rejoice in the Lord John Redford ( ) Edited W.N. McKie Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is e en at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in all prayer and supplication let your petitions be manifest unto God with giving of thanks. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesu. The Chamber Singers Philippians 4:4-7

6 Congregational Hymns, Let Us Break Bread Together Afro-American Spiritual One Bread, One Body John B. Foley, 1978 The Lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever, Amen. RESPONSE TO THE WORD Invitation to Christian Discipleship At the Invitation,* Hymn 451 Be Thou My Vision Slane SENDING FORTH Benediction* Peace* Minister People The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. Response* May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever. Grant you peace; perfect peace, courage in every endeavor. Lift up your eyes and see His face and His grace forever.
