Unlike you, we are quick to anger and slow to love. We remain stuck in our ways because we are comfortable. Help us to re-examine our views, to believe that we don t always understand what you ask of us. Help us to allow ourselves to be taken by surprise, to have our minds changed for your kin-dom... (Moments for personal confession) KYRIE Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. **Those who are able, please stand.

Sermon on the Plain: A Preamble - Responding to the Word - 8:30 am worship, continue below. 11:00 am worship, please see insert for Installation and Ordination of Church Officers. (8:30) **AFFIRMATION OF FAITH... from The Heidelberg Catechism What does God s law require of us? You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Can you live up to all this perfectly? No. I have a natural tendency to hate God and my neighbor. How does the knowledge of God s creation and providence help us? We can be patient when things go against us, thankful when things go well, and for the future we can have good confidence in our faithful God and Father that nothing in creation will separate us from his love. For all creatures are so completely in God s hand that without his will they can neither move nor be moved.

Organist and court musician in Weimar, Walther also wrote the very first musical encyclopedia, Musicalisches Lexicon, in In this cheerful setting of our opening hymn, each melodic phrase is introduced in the upper parts and then heard in long notes in the pedals. Postlude: This piece is based on hymn #744. Octave leaps at the beginning convey "Arise" in the text, and near the end a pedal point signifies "God's power will make us strong" (st. 4). 6
