2 M O R N I N G W O R S H I P 9 : 0 0 / 1 1 : 0 0 A M Prelude Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to His feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, evermore His praises sing. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise the everlasting King! Father-like, He tends and spares us; well our feeble frame He knows. In His hand He gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia, alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows. Praise Him for His grace and favor to His people in distress; Praise Him, still the same as ever, glorious in His faithfulness! Angels, in the height, adore Him; you behold Him face to face. Saints triumphant, bow down before Him, gathered in from every race. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace! Mark Andrews/arr. Tom Fettke No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus Charles F. Weigle/arr. Steve Potts I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus, since I found in Him a friend so strong and true; I would tell you how He changed my life completely He did something that no other friend could do. No one ever cared for me like Jesus. There s no other friend so kind as He; No one else could take the sin and darkness from me O how much He cares for me! Every day He comes to me with new assurance, more and more I understand His words of love; But I ll never know just why He came to save me, till someday I ll see His blessed face above. No one ever cared for me like Jesus, there s no other friend so kind as He; No one else could take the sin and darkness from me O how much He cares for me! Jesu, Joy of Man s Desiring Johann Sebastian Bach/arr. John Reed Jesu, joy of man s desiring, Holy wisdom, love most bright, Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring soar to uncreated light. Word of God, our flesh that fashioned with the fire of life impassioned. Striving still to truth unknown, soaring dying, round Thy throne. Through the way where hope is guiding. Hark, what peaceful music rings! Where the flock in Thee confiding, drink of joy from deathless springs. Theirs is beauty s fairest pleasure. Theirs is wisdom s holiest treasure. Thou dost ever lead Thine own, in the love of joys unknown. Robin Massie-Condy, soprano Steven Condy, baritone Call to Worship * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 731) Old Hundredth Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. * Congregation standing

3 * Confession (from The Book of Common Prayer) Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But You, O Lord, have mercy upon us. And grant, O most merciful Father, for Jesus sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and joyful life, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon * Invocation * Hymn 112: Praise Ye, Praise Ye the Lord Columbia Prayer of Thanksgiving and Intercession Announcements Sacrament of Baptism (11 AM only) * Hymn 465: Marvelous Grace of Our Loving Lord Moody (In the 11:00 service, ages 4 6 may be dismissed for their program in B2 and B3.) * Offering Prayer Offertory: O Love Divine O Love divine, what have you done! Th incarnate God has died for me! The Father s coeternal Son bore all my sins upon the tree! The Son of God for me has died: my Lord, my Love, is crucified! Is crucified for me and you to bring us sinners near to God: Believe, believe the record true, we all are bought with Jesus blood: Pardon for all flows from His side: my Lord, my Love, is crucified! Behold Him now, all that pass by, the bleeding Prince of life and peace! Come, sinners, see your Savior die, and say, Was ever grief like His? Come, feel with me His blood applied: my Lord, my Love is crucified!

Gavin Lymberopoulos Gilbert Martin Colin Howland, organ Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison) Question # 29: Why is the Son of God called Jesus, meaning savior? Answer: Because He saves us from our sins. Salvation cannot be found in anyone else; it is futile to look for any salvation elsewhere. Sacrament of the Lord s Supper (gluten-free bread is in the center cup) Words of Invitation Distribution of the Bread Distribution of the Cup Proclamation of the Mystery of Our Faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again! * Hymn 85: The Lord s My Shepherd, I ll Not Want Evan * Benediction Postlude: Minuet Gothique Postlude Leon Boellmann P R O J E C T O F T H E M O N T H : G L O B A L O U T R E A C H - U N I V E R S I T Y C H A P L A I N I N N I G E R I A Global partner Joseph serves as a university chaplain in Nigeria, which has been under threat of Boko Haram and Al Shabab. In fact, his childhood home was recently under siege by extremists. In addition to the instability around him, the university can t always pay their workers. Yet Joseph remains faithful, teaching and baptizing more than 115 new believers earlier this year. July s Project of the Month will support Joseph and his family as they serve God s Kingdom in an uncertain environment. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church with July Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. * Congregation standing
