1 F I R S T U N I T E D M E T H O D I S T C H U R C H ASH WEDNESDAY February 10, 2016 Gates Chapel prelude & silent meditation Greeting The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless God s holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all God s benefits; Who forgives all our sins and heals all our infirmities; Who redeems our life from the grave, and crowns us with mercy and loving kindness. hymn #269 United Methodist Hymnal Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days invitation to our observance of lenten discipline the first lesson Isaiah 58:1-12 silence for reflection & self-examination As a courtesy to others, please silence all cell phones/sound-making devices.

2 the confession Most Holy and merciful God: We confess to you and to one another, and to the whole communion of saints in heaven and on earth, that we have sinned by our own fault in thought, word, and deed; by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart, and mind, and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have not forgiven others, as we have been forgiven. Have mercy on us, Lord. We have been deaf to your call to serve as Christ served us. We have not been true to the mind of Christ. We have grieved your Holy Spirit. Have mercy on us, Lord. We confess to you, Lord, all our past unfaithfulness. The pride, hypocrisy, and impatience in our lives, Our self-indulgent appetites and ways, and our exploitation of other people, Our anger at our own frustration, and our envy of those more fortunate than ourselves, Our intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and our dishonesty in daily life and work, Our negligence in prayer and worship, and our failure to commend the faith that is in us, Accept our repentance, Lord, for the wrongs we have done. For our blindness to human need and suffering, and our indifference to injustice and cruelty, For all false judgments, for uncharitable thoughts toward our neighbors, and for our prejudice and contempt toward those who differ from us, For our waste and pollution of your creation, and our lack of concern for those who come after us, Restore us, good Lord, and let your anger depart from us. Hear us, Lord, for your mercy is great. Amen.

3 the second lesson Romans 12:1-2, 9-18, 21 imposition of ashes Forming one line in the aisle, please come forward to receive the impostion of ashes from the ministers, and then return to your seat. absolution 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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Sacrament of Holy communion 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... And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven, we praise your name and join the unending hymn. Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Holy are you and blessed is your Son... 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. Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Please come forward to receive the elements by intinction. Gluten-free wafers are available from the servers upon request. There will be no spoken Benediction. Please remain in prayer for as long as you wish. Go in peace

5 An Invitation to Be a Living Sign of God s Mercy in the World Haiti Work Team - Departs Tonight Every year since the devastating 7.0 earthquake in 2010 near Port-au-Prince, a team of First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica adult members are sent to live and serve in the country of Haiti. In collaboration with our Haitian Methodist partners, our efforts thus far have made tangible progress in rebuilding churches, schools and homes. We believe that our biggest impact in the rebuilding effort in Haiti, however, is in giving hope and building relationships with our fellow Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ. Tonight we will be sending a 9-member team from First UMC. Some of us are going to Haiti for the first time and others are returning for the second or even third time to continue our own spiritual growth and to be of service. We give thanks to God for the gift of this community which commissions us to go forth in this good work on your behalf. We go forth to serve, to do our best to embody the spirit of Jesus Christ. Upward Bound House: Home Run for Kids UBH presents the 4th Annual Home Run for Kids Walk/Run in the Brentwood community of West Los Angeles.

Register on the website under First United Methodist Church. Before the race, First UMC will hold a brief on-site worship service complete with Communion at 8 a.m. Look for the white First UMC tent.
