Christ. We Prepare Our Hearts The LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him. Habakkuk 2.20 Preparation for Worship 9:30/11:00 The Lord Is My Light F. Allitsen Mr. Bradley Garvin, Bass-Baritone Mr. Stephen Nielson, Piano We Come to Worship at His Bidding Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! Psalm Call to Worship The Rev. Ron Williams 8:00 The Rev. Mark Davis 9:30/11:00 Minister: Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; make melody to Him with the harp of ten strings! People: Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. Minister: For the word of the Lord is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness. People: He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. Psalm We Praise and Profess Our Faith in God My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless His holy name forever and ever. Psalm * Hymn No. 53 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty LOBE DEN HERREN

2 * Prayer of Adoration * Hymn No. 382 God Himself Is with Us WUNDERBARER KONIG * Confession of Faith The Rev. Julian Russell 8:00 The Rev. Patrick Lafferty 9:30 The Rev. Bill Lamberth 11:00 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 1 * Song of Praise I Am the Vine Howland - 2 -

3 We Pray for Our Congregation, the Church, and the World First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people... This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2.1, 3-4 Please be seated. Public Confession of Sin O Lord God, Who inhabits eternity, the heavens declare Your glory, the earth Your riches, the universe is Your temple. Your presence fills immensity, yet You have of Your pleasure created life, and communicated happiness. You have made me what I am, and given me what I have. In You I live and have my being; Your providence has set the bounds of my habitation, and wisely administers all my affairs. I thank You for Your riches given to me in Jesus: for the unclouded revelation of Him in Your Word, where I behold His person, character, grace, glory, humiliation, sufferings, death, and resurrection. Help me to feel a need of His continual saviorhood, and cry with Job, I am vile, with Peter, I perish, with the publican, Be merciful to me, a sinner. Subdue in me the love of sin, let me know the need of renovation as well as of forgiveness, in order to serve and enjoy You forever. Private Confession Words of Assurance For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 Prayer of Intercession/Offertory Prayer Mr. Russell 8:00 Mr. Lafferty 9:30 Mr. Lamberth 11:00 Musical Offering 8:00 The Old Rugged Cross OLD RUGGED CROSS Dr. John Denman, Clarinet Mr. Brian Piper, Piano - 3 -

4 9:30/11:00 The Morning Trumpet arr. Parker/Shaw Mr. Garvin, Bass-Baritone Chancel Choir Colin Howland, Director O, when shall I see Jesus and reign with Him above and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And from the flowing fountain drink everlasting love, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. When shall I be delivered from this vain world of sin, and hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And with my blessed Jesus drink endless pleasures in and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Through grace I am determined to conquer though I die, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. And then away to Jesus on wings of love I'll fly, and shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning. Shout, O glory, for I shall mount above the skies when I hear the trumpet sound in that morning! * The Greeting of Peace Minister: Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The peace of the Lord be with you always. Romans 5.1 People: And also with you. The Service of Friendship If you are seated on the left end of the pew, please take the Service of Friendship pad, fill out the information and pass it down. When it arrives at the other end of the pew, pass it back, taking note of those who are seated in your row. * The Scripture Reading Galatians But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. The Morning Sermon Walk by the Spirit Mr. Williams 8:00 Mr. Davis 9:30/11:00 Worshippers at 9:30 and 11:00, please continue on page six - 4 -

5 * The Great Thanksgiving Minister: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit. Minister: Lift up your hearts! People: We lift them up to the Lord! Minister: Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise. Minister: It is right and good and a joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks unto You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. People: Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Your glorious Name; evermore praising You, and singing: * Prayer of Thanksgiving and Blessing We Proclaim Jesus Christ Crucified as the Only Salvation for Sinners Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 * The Words of Institution The Communion 8:00 Please come forward down the center aisle. Partake of the elements upon receiving them from the elders. Return to your seat with your empty cup via the side aisle. Please use the following Scripture for private meditation. Psalm O God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim Your might to another generation, Your power to all those to come. Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like You? You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth You will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again

6 * Worshippers at 9:30 and 11:00, please continue here We go into the World with God's Peace to Live for His Glory Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Personal Prayer and Counsel "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor... rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality." Romans 12.10, 12, 13 We want so much to come alongside you in brotherly love and hospitality by your allowing us to be in prayer for your salvation or any need you may have.
