2 Morning Worship July 2, :45 & 11:15 am THE GATHERING Carillon Prelude Sally Westmoreland Opening Voluntary The peace may be exchanged Dan Locklair (b.1949) The Greeting We welcome each of you to this service! Please register your attendance on the Ritual of Christian Fellowship. Let us know if you are new, would like to become a member or are interested in more information about Peachtree Road. We pray that this time together will be a blessing in your life. PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING At the Procession,* Hymn 697 My Country, Tis of Thee America The Invitation* Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another. Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another. Confession and Pardon* Let us confess our sins before God. At the sound of the bells, please prepare your hearts and minds for worship. The Choral Introit Jacques Berthier ( ) Eat this bread, drink this cup, come to me and never be hungry. Eat this bread, drink this cup, trust in me and you will not thirst. Taizé Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all people: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father. For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Hear the Good News: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God. Amen.

3 Ritual of Christian Fellowship* ** The people are seated. Sacrament of Christian Baptism (8:45 am) Response: With God s help we will so order our lives after the example of Christ, that this child, (these children), surrounded by steadfast love, may be established in the faith and confirmed, and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal. Prayer of Dedication Hymn Tune: Stuttgarte Child of blessing, child of promise, baptized with the Spirit s sign; with this water God has sealed you unto love and grace divine. Concerns and Celebrations of the Congregation PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD The Lesson Psalm 23Kings 5:1-15 following the reading: Minister The Word of God for the people of God. People Thanks be to God! Sermon Summer Psalms: The Lord Is My Shepherd At the Offertory, An offering is collected to support the work of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church sharing God s love with the world. Prayer Anthem The mansions of the Lord Nick Glennie-Smith (b. 1951) To fallen soldiers let us sing where no rockets fly nor bullets wing. Our broken brothers let us bring to the mansions of the Lord. No more bleeding no more fight, no prayers pleading through the night just divine embrace, eternal light in the mansions of the Lord, where no mothers cry and no children weep, we will stand and guard tho the angels sleep all through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord. The Chancel Choir Randall Wallace (b. 1949)

4 At the Presentation,* Hymn 95 Tune: 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. THE HOLY COMMUNION Sanctus* 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 to give thanks to you, Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth. You have handed down your power and your word through the prophets that all may know of your sovereignty. And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn: The people are seated. Holy are you and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ. He has broken the yoke of slavery and freed us for joyful obedience. By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection, you gave birth to your church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. On the night in which he gave himself up for us he took the bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this is remembrance of me.

5 When the supper was over he took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said, Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. 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. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and wine. Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed by his blood, for your grace is sufficient for us, even in our weakness. By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory, and we feast at his heavenly banquet. Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church, all honor and glory is yours, almighty God, now and forever. The Agnus Dei

6 At the Administration: Congregational Hymns, Let Us Break Bread Together Afro-American Spiritual One Bread, One Body John B. Foley, 1978 Prayer of Dedication: Eternal God, we give you thanks for this holy mystery in which you have given yourself to us. May we inherit a double portion of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Grant that we may go into the world in the strength of your Spirit, to give ourselves for others, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. RESPONSE TO THE WORD Invitation to Christian Discipleship At the Invitation,* Hymn 696 America the Beautiful Materna SENDING FORTH Benediction* Peace* Minister People The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. Response* May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever. Grant you peace; perfect peace, courage in every endeavor. Lift up your eyes and see His face and His grace forever. May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever. Choir and Congregation Closing Voluntary Rondeau Henry Purcell ( ) * Stand as you are able. ** Ushers will seat all those who are waiting.
