In consideration of others, please silence your cell phones. Preparation Prelude Choral Joseph Jongen Words of Welcome *Call to Worship Adoration One: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. All: Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. One: Know that the Lord is God; it is he that made us, All: and not we ourselves. One: We are his people, All: and the sheep of his pasture. One: Enter his gates with thanksgiving, All: and his courts with praise. One: For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, All: and his faithfulness to all generations. The Reverend Pen Peery *Hymn No. 363 Rejoice, the Lord is King! darwall s 148 th

2 Large-print hymnals and Bibles are available. Please let an usher know if you would like one. Call to Confession Prayer of Confession Confession The Reverend Katelyn Gordon Cooke We are grateful to Jim Twyne for playing the organ and to Kelly Potts for directing the choir this morning. All: One: You, God, are our one and only king. We beg for your forgiveness for the other kings that we kneel before: money, power, gossip, self-righteousness. We beg your forgiveness, we who are broken and torn apart by our own doings and undoings. Guide us to be your servants. Lead us to trust in you as the only king we need. Direct our faith in your sovereign power as we strive to follow your son, through the power of your Holy Spirit, we pray. In silent prayer, let us confess to God the things we choose not to speak aloud. A time of silence will be kept. Assurance of Pardon One: Friends, believe the good news. All: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Hayes is the son of Charlie and Brooke Weeks. *Response (Hymn No. 581) gloria patri Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, amen. Sacrament of Baptism (11 a.m.) Hymn No. 188 (11 a.m.) Sacrament of Baptism Austin Heywood Weeks jesus loves me Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong. They are weak but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. *Apostles Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. Children in kindergarten through 2nd grade may leave for First Church. They will return to the sanctuary during the last hymn. Younger children may go to the nursery. Prayer for Illumination Proclamation The 11 a.m. service is televised over WSOC-TV, Channel 9, this morning and streamed live at Scripture Psalm 100 pew Bible pg. 552 One: This is the word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

3 Anthem O Sing unto the Lord Hans Leo Hassler O, sing unto the Lord, sing Him a new song; O, great the Lord, all the earth; O, sing unto the Lord! O, sing unto the Lord, blessing His holy name, declare His glory in every nation, show forth His salvation from day to day; declare to all people now His marvelous glory. Time With Children (9 a.m.) Children in kindergarten through 2nd grade may leave for First Church. They will return to the sanctuary during the last hymn. Younger children may go to the nursery.

You, Lord, are both prince and slave. You, peacemaker and sword-bringer of the way you took and gave. You the everlasting instant; you whom we both scorn and crave. Clothed in light upon the mountain, stripped of might upon the cross, shining in eternal glory, beggar d by a soldier s toss, you the everlasting instant; you who are both gift and cost. You, who walk each day beside us, sit in power at God s side. You, who preach a way that s narrow, have a love that reaches wide. You, the everlasting instant; You, who are our pilgrim guide. Worthy is our earthly Jesus! Worthy is our cosmic Christ! Worthy your defeat and victory. Worthy still your peace and strife. You, the everlasting instant; you, who are our death and our life. Alleluia, you who are our death and our life. The sanctuary flowers are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Eleanor Maver by Quent Maver. The sympathy of the congregation is expressed to Michael White and his family on the recent death of his mother, Kit White Soper, and to Beth Rickenbaugh and her family on the recent death of her brother, Johnny Alexander. Part of our offering today goes to the Ten-Cents-A- Meal program, a hunger relief and at-risk youth ministry of the Presbytery of Charlotte. Children and families will pass baskets after the offering plates to collect this offering. *Doxology old hundredth Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. *Prayer of Dedication and 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. Sending Forth *Hymn No. 268 Crown Him with Many Crowns diademata *Charge and Benediction *Benediction Response Amen danish Postlude Now Thank We All Our God Johann Sebastian Bach A time of personal prayer is offered following both services. If you would like to pray with a pastor and a member of our prayer team, please meet them in the sanctuary overflow area after the 9 a.m. service or in the chapel following the 11 a.m. service. * Please stand if you are able.

5 *Hymn No Rejoice, the Lord is King: Your Lord and King adore! Rejoice, give thanks and sing, And triumph evermore. 2 Jesus, the Savior, reigns, The God of truth and love; When He has purged our stains, He took his seat above; *Hymn No. 264 Rejoice, The Lord is King At the Name of Jesus 3 His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o er earth and heav n; The keys of death and hell Are to our Jesus giv n: 4 Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord and judge shall come And take His servants up To their eternal home: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; tis the Father s pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came; faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed; 4 bore it up triumphant, with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father s breast, filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptations hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father s glory o er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now. *Hymn No. 268 Crown Him with Many Crowns 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne. Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save; his glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends their burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
