3 Preparation for Worship We come to worship from a busy and noisy world. As we prepare to offer ourselves in praise and adoration of God, it is important that we step back from our preoccupations and focus our thoughts on God. We ask that you please turn off all cell phones and pagers. As the music begins this morning, please take time to become more aware of the continuing presence of God. Stand as you are able PRELUDE Partita on Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan (What God Ordains is Always Good) Johann Pachelbel CHORAL INTROIT We Praise You, O God ENDLESS FEAST (10:45) Glory to God, Hymn 612 Junior Choir We praise you, O God, our Redeemer, Creator; in grateful devotion our tribute we bring.

6 AFFIRMATION Brief Statement of Faith, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) of FAITH We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. PRESENTATION of OFFERINGS With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. Loose offering this morning will support the Pastors Emergency Fund. Please be generous as you are able. Envelopes are in the pew pads (chapel) or pew racks (sanctuary). ANTHEM O Lord, Support Us David Briggs RESPONSE O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen. - from the Book of Common Prayer

8 MOTET Set Me as a Seal René Clausen (10:45) (from A New Creation ) Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love; neither can the floods drown it. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death. - from Song of Solomon 8:6,7 PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Loving God, we thank you that you have fed us in this Sacrament, united us with Christ, and given us a foretaste of the heavenly banquet in your eternal kingdom.
