Preparing for worship

2 Preparing for worship How can you mend a broken heart? This was the challenging question posed by brothers Robin, Maurice and Barry Gibb (you know, the Bee-Gees) in their 1971 hit song. The song made it all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, so apparently it was a question that resonated with quite a few people. In fact, songs about broken hearts historically have been a sure-fire way for artists to get songs on the charts. From Frank Sinatra to Adele, Hank Williams to Pearl Jam, musical acts repeatedly have mined for musical gold in the depths of heartbreak. Usually these songs are from the perspective of the one who has had a heart broken rather than the one doing the breaking, and as a result these songs can be quite depressing. The singer can rightly assume the role of the victim because he or she is the one who has been mistreated or wronged. Often there is a sense of despair and desperation as the heartbroken individual wonders aloud about how life can possibly go on or if there ever will be an opportunity to love again. By the time you get to the end of the song, you re likely hoping never to have to endure anything like what the singer has just described a pretty natural response. I mean, who really wants to have their heart broken? Why would anyone want to go through that experience? Our middle hymn this morning takes a different approach toward heartbreak. The writer of this hymn, Bryan Jeffrey Leech, actually encourages us to let our hearts be broken. But unlike so many of the hit songs about heartbreak, we don t get to assume the role of victim this time. In this hymn, our hearts are broken not for our own sake, not because of anything that has happened to us, but rather out of a deep concern for those around us. Unlike the egocentric view presented in many popular heartbreak songs, Leech s lyrics urge us to let our broken hearts motivate us toward helping others. Rather than heartbreak being this painful thing to be avoided at all costs, this hymn wants us to see heartbreak as necessary in order to be about God s work in the world. But make no mistake, the heartbreak we sing about in this hymn is not akin to the sappy sentimentality present in some of those other songs. The message of this hymn is not, Don t feel sorry for yourself, feel sorry for other people who don t have it as good as you do. Look at the action words in the first stanza: feed, soothe, give, serve. Our calling as the church is not to feel sorry for people. If having our hearts broken for a world in need only leads us to feeling sorry for people, then we are missing the point. As we sing together this morning, may we be moved beyond mere sentimentality and motivated to action. May we be the means through which the Lord reveals grace to a world in need.

3 October 21, :30 and 11:00 a.m. Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost Chiming of the Hour The people of Wilshire gather this morning to worship God. In order for this service of worship to be focused upon that purpose, please turn off all cell phones, pagers and alarm watches. Prelude Aria in E-flat Handel Litany on Psalm 104 Jennifer Carter / Jessica Capps Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty, wrapped in light as with a garment. You stretch out the heavens like a tent. You set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot, you ride on the wings of the wind. You make the winds your messengers, fire and flame your ministers. You set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken. O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. These all look to you to give them their food in due season; when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to the Lord, for I rejoice in the Lord. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord! *8:30 worship service / **11:00 worship service +All congregants who are able are invited to stand. Hearing devices are available in the Narthex and South Atrium. 3

Bédard +Offertory Response old 100th Our God is making all things new, a promise that we know is true. Through eyes of faith we long to see a love-transformed community. A place where truth and justice reign and healing triumphs over pain, Where all have dignity and worth and peace is passed throughout the earth. +Gospel Reading Mark 10:35 45 Linda Garrett / Kristin Cabaniss James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you. And he said to them, What is it you want me to do for you? And they said to him, Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory. But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They replied, We are able. Then Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared. When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. So Jesus called them and said to them, You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 4

5 But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Anthem Honor and Glory J.S.
