3 LAFAYETTE-ORINDA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SUNDAY WORSHIP BULLETIN SUPPLEMENT Call to Worship Many: Many: Many: Praise the LORD who is our provider. The LORD is our hope. Our trust is in God. God brought us out of bondage and has made us free. The LORD is our hope. Our trust is in God. Glorious are the deeds of our God, and mighty are his acts. The LORD is our hope. Our trust is in God. Come, let us worship the LORD together! Opening Hymn: Holy God, We Praise Your Name (Hymnal #4) Text: Attr. Ignaz Franz, c. 1774;trans. Clarence Alphonsus Walworth, 1858, alt. Music: Allgemeines Katholisches Gesangbuch, c. 1774; harm. Johann Gottfried Schicht, 1819 Holy God, we praise your name; Lord of all, we bow before you All on earth your scepter claim; all in heaven above adore you Infinite your vast domain, everlasting is your reign Hark! The glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising Cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising Fill the heav ns with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord. All apostles join the strain as your sacred name they hallow Prophets swell the glad refrain, and the blessed martyrs follow And from morn to set of sun, through the church the song goes on Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit: Three we name you While in essence only one; undivided God we claim you And adoring, bend the knee while we own the mystery Reading: Psalm 145:8 9, The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. The LORD upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing. The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings. The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

4 He fulfills the desire of all who fear him; he also hears their cry, and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever. Preparation for Prayer: In Christ Alone Words & Music: Stuart Townend and Keith Getty; Additional lyrics by Kristian Stanfill. Music Arr. by Dan Galbraith In Christ alone, my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in all Here in the love of Christ I stand There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the pow r of Christ in me From life s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No pow r of Hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow r of Christ I stand I find my strength, I find my my home I find my help in Christ alone I give my life, I give my all I sing my song to Christ alone The King of kings, the Lord of All All heaven sings to Christ alone To Christ alone. In Christ alone Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow r of Christ I ll stand Here in the pow r of Christ we stand

5 Prayer of Confession Righteous God, We confess that we have not lived as your obedient children. We have honored you with our words, but we have denied you with our actions. We have not pursued the mind of Christ, who took the form of a servant, for we have acted with selfish ambition. We have put our interests before the interests of others and have not regarded them in humility. Forgive us our arrogance, awaken our hearts to sincere repentance, and enable us to will and to work for your good pleasure, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Response: Great Are You Lord Words & Music: Jason Ingram, Leslie Jordan, and David Leonard You give life You are love You bring light to the darkness You give hope You restore Ev ry heart that is broken And great are You Lord Chorus: It s Your breath in our lungs so we pour out our praise we pour out our praise It s Your breath in our lungs So we pour out our praise to you only And all the earth will shout Your praise Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing Great are You, Lord! 2x, Chorus Scripture: Philippians 2:1 11 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself,

6 taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. "We all have to think if we can become a little poorer, all of us have to do this. How can I become a little poorer in order to be more like Jesus, who was the poor Teacher? Pope Francis 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Apostles Creed Music: Rowland Prichard I believe in God the Father Maker of both heav n and earth And in Jesus Christ, our Savior God s own Son of matchless worth By the Holy Ghost conceived Virgin Mary bore God s Son He in whom I have believed God, Almighty, Three in One Suffered under Pontius Pilate Crucified for me He died Laid within the grave so silent Gates of hell He opened wide And the stone-sealed tomb was empty On the third day He arose

7 Into heaven made His entry Mighty Conqueror of His foes At God s right hand He is seated Till His coming, as He said Final judgment will be meted To the living and the dead I confess the Holy Spirit Has been sent through Christ the Son To apply salvation s merit God the Spirit, Three in One I believe the Church of Jesus Holy catholic remains We are one through all the ages With communion of the saints I believe sins are forgiven That our bodies will be raised Everlasting life in heaven Amen, let God s name be praised!
