2 Worship Service THE WESTMINSTER CHIMES (Please use this time to prepare for worship.) GATHERING TOGETHER CALL TO WORSHIP: based on Job 42:1-6 Imad El-Imam Leader: As with Job, we know that the Lord can do all things and that no purpose of his can be thwarted. People: So too with Job, we admit, I have expressed what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. All: Therefore, we humble ourselves, saying: I had heard reports about you, but now my eyes have seen you. I am but dust and ashes. WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS PRELUDE * CONFESSING OUR FAITH: Imad El-Imam The Heidelberg Catechism Day 52: Questions Leader: What does the conclusion of the Lord s Prayer mean? All: For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever means: We have made all these requests of You because, as our all-powerful King, You not only want to, but are able to give us all that is good; this is because Your holy name, and not we ourselves, should receive all the praise, forever. Leader: What is the reason for ending the Lord s Prayer with the little word Amen? All: Amen means: This is sure to be! It is even more sure that God listens to my prayer, than that I really desire what I pray for. * GATHERING SONG: #138 Holy, Holy, Holy! * PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Imad El-Imam Almighty God, we confess that we often turn away from you: seeking joy from the world rather than you, serving ourselves above our neighbor, guarding our own interests by devaluing the dignity of others. We confess, we repent, and we seek mercy and grace from you, for you are the one we have offended. Lord, hear us and heal us as we confess to you (silent confession) SILENT CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON * GREETING ONE ANOTHER: Leader: May the peace of Christ be with you. People: And also with you.

Contact Kay Nolan at or stenolan@att.net Big Creek Missions is a Christ focused Mission center in Southeast Kentucky. They are serving our community throughout the year - not just during the summer! What makes Big Creek Missions different? They are committed to the community! They don't just pick a town randomly and send a few "out of town" staff to lead mission teams. They know their residents and they know their community. Their community knows them. They research every ministry project. They have staff on site year round, making connections and meeting needs. What will our group do on this mission trip? *Worship! (Daily worship opportunities with a full band or worship leader) *Serve! Your team members will choose one of three ministry areas: **Construction: They roof houses, build ramps, paint, repair foundations, and much more. **Children: We lead VBS style daycamps at various locations throughout three counties. Typically, these last 2 hours and are repeated twice per day. New for 2018: we are asking all our groups to take part in summer daycamp planning. If your participants want to assist with daycamps, please plan to prepare materials in advance. The group leader will need to appoint a children's ministry "pro" so we can communicate details regarding the daycamps. More info coming January 2018 at this link: **Community: We mow lawns, visit nursing homes, serve the schools, serve in food pantries, and more! We encourage you to come up with ideas to make our community teams more interactive! Come with ideas and supplies for ministry. Home Repairs Home Repairs are a big part of our ministry at Big Creek. They do their very best to serve as many residents as possible. All funding for supplies comes from volunteer donations. They do not receive any government support for our home repair ministries. Homes that receive the highest priority for repairs are: Homes with elderly, disabled, or children Homes with accessibility issues Homes with dangerous living conditions How to help? Big Creek summer mission camps are for all age and group types! Designed for families and students, these life-changing missions give our youth an opportunity to live out the gospel: Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. John 13:35. Please join with us in fulfilling the love of Christ by Praying for our Youth, especially those who will be serving on this mission trip, volunteering as an adult chaperone, and/ or donating supplies to the camp (more info. can be found here: For questions or more information, please feel free to contact Janice at jkim@presbypub.com or (502)
