Transcription

1 KNOLLWOOD AT WORSHIP THE SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Sunday, June 22, :55 a.m. To those who feel the need of light; to those who find doubts and fears in their hearts; to those who need courage for their daily tasks; to those who feel lonely and friendless; to those who wish to give service; to all who, in faith, will support and involve themselves to the limit of their ability in the work of the Kingdom of God which this church undertakes; to all who want rest, peace, and happiness--this church invites you to the fellowship of Jesus.

2 KNOLLWOOD AT WORSHIP GATHERING FOR WORSHIP Please silence all electronic devices. Thank you! THE CHIMES Three chimes are sounded, awakening us to the presence of God, alerting us to the voice of Christ, centering us in the embrace of the Spirit. As we gather, we present ourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual worship. THE OPENING SENTENCE... Kenneth J. Meyers One Voice: The Lord be with you. Many Voices: And also with you. THE PRELUDE Toccata... Flor Peeters Susan Orgain, organist THE CALL TO WORSHIP... Kenneth J. Meyers One Voice: Because of Christ's obedience, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names, Many Voices: that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, One Voice: and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Many Voices: Being joined together by Christ, one in spirit and of one mind, we come to worship in unity and joy. ~Based on Philippians 2 THE INVOCATION AND THE LORD S PRAYER... Kenneth J. Meyers *THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN OF PRAISE, NO. 17 Praise the Lord! O Heavens, Adore Him... AUSTRIAN HYMN CONFESSING OUR NEED FOR FORGIVENESS THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)... Lucrecia Norman God of Mercy, you have called us to follow Christ. You have called us to a life of humility but our actions betray our true hearts. Too often, we seek to exalt ourselves to be lifted above others. Too often, our sense of success depends on someone else's failure. Too often, service depends on our own convenience and leisure. Too often, we don't allow our relationships to be guided entirely by your love. Show us your ways, o God. Highlight what we can change and change what we cannot. Convict us now of the habits we refuse to acknowledge as sin as we silently pray. THE SILENT CONFESSION One Voice: In the name of Jesus, we pray for your mercy. Many Voices: Amen. THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON One Voice: Believe the good news of the gospel. Many Voices: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. * Those who are able will stand. Ushers will seat those waiting. Hearing aids and large print hymns are available from the ushers. 2

FLOWERS The flowers in the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in memory of Bill Bowman on the 73 rd anniversary of Bill and Jeannette s wedding. On June 22, 1941, William Bowman and Jeannette Andrews were married. The white rose on the altar is given by Knollwood Baptist Church in memory of Tuck Solomon. It is a symbol of the love and esteem in which this community of faith held her. 4

5 ABOUT OUR BANNERS In the Bible and in church tradition, the dove and fire symbolize the Holy Spirit. According to the four Gospels, the Spirit descended on Jesus like a dove at his baptism (Mark 1:10 and parallels). John the Baptist promised the Messiah would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16). From Moses encounter with God by the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-6) to the tongues of fire at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), fire is a sign of God s riveting, transforming presence. The Pentecost banner depicts the fire of God s challenge and the dove of God s gentle loving care. The artist who designed and painted the Pentecost banner is our own Bambi Setzer. FOR THE CHILDREN Worship Care is provided for children, infant - kindergarten aged on the first floor of Building B. Children s Worship is on break for the summer and will resume in the fall. Children are invited to enjoy the worship service with their families. Children s activity bulletins and crayons are available in the narthex. TO OUR GUESTS We extend to you a sincere welcome and the hope that you will find your worship experience meaningful. You are invited to the narthex for a brief time of fellowship following worship where you can meet church members and clergy, and learn more about this congregation.
