2 WE CENTER OURSELVES ON GOD Welcome to a time of Sabbath, rest, and renewal \September 9, 2018 Glade Matters Shared moments of information and inspiration about our church family Prelude *Processional Hymn God Reigns O er All the Earth #21 *Call to Worship L: Where two or three are gathered, Christ s Spirit is present. P: May our coming together proclaim our commitment to Christ and the church. L: God calls us away from anger and disputes to honest communication and reconciliation. P: We renew our allegiance to the commandment, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Prayer of Invocation (Offered by all) O God, we rebel against authority and resist those who would tell us how to live. When we are wronged, we want to fight back. When we are angry with people, we do not want to forgive them. When we are alienated from others, we prefer to ignore them rather than face the painful process of reconciliation. But you do not let us rest easy with our disputes or our enemies. Down deep we are not happy with ourselves this way. Help us to change, according to your purposes for us. Amen. Rally Day Presentation Attendance Awards: Landon Saylor 4th yr. Mason Saylor 8th yr. Scripture Readings Psalm 8; Romans 13: 8-14; Matthew 18:

3 L: The Word of God, for the people of God. P: Thanks be to God! Sermon *Hymn Touch the Earth Lightly #569 Sharing our Joys and Concerns Leader : The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Leader: Let us pray Silent Prayer Prayer The Prayer Jesus taught Us 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. WE GIVE OURSELVES TO GOD S WILL AND CARE Invitation to Joyful Giving Offertory *Doxology Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Praise God for all that love has done; Creator, Christ and Spirt, One.
