3 Public Confession of Sin You, O Lord, have promised, that if we will confess our sins You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins. We come in penitence seeking Your forgiveness, that we may know the joy of Your presence, and the light of Your face. You alone know how often we have offended You, and hurt the lives of others. Forgive us, O Lord, for every unkind thought, every untrue word, every wrong act. Forgive us, for we have been selfish, and have not thought of the needs of others. Forgive us, for our ingratitude, our neglect of prayer, our carelessness in the use of money, our forgetfulness of our sacred vows. O God, have mercy upon us. Create in us clean hearts, and renew a right spirit within us, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Private Confession Words of Assurance For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3.16 We Pray for Our Congregation, the Church, and the World First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people... This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2.1, 3-4 Prayer of Intercession/Offertory Prayer Mr. Russell 8:00 Mr. Robert Mighell, Elder 9:30 Mr. George Chapman, Elder 11:00 Musical Offering 8:00 I Lay My Sins on Jesus arr. Ovid Young Jenni Rasberry, Soprano 9:30/11:00 Shall We Gather at the River arr. Robert McIver Chancel Choir Colin Howland, Director Covenant Choir Chapel Choir Lynda Fray, Director Stephen Nielson, Piano Shall we gather at the river where bright angel's feet have trod; with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God? Yes, we'll gather by the river, the beautiful river, gather with the saints by the river, that flows by the throne of God. When we reach the shining river, lay we every burden down; grace our spirits will deliver and provide a robe and crown. Soon we'll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease, soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace

4 * The Greeting of Peace Minister: Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. The peace of the Lord be with you always. Colossians 3.15 People: And also with you. The Service of Friendship If you are seated on the left end of the pew, please take the Service of Friendship pad, fill out the information and pass it down. When it arrives at the other end of the pew, pass it back, taking note of those who are seated in your row. Children's Sermon 9:30/11:00 * The Scripture Reading Philippians Dr. Deison Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. 2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and may share His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. The Morning Sermon Is Jesus Majestic or What? Dr. Deison Worshippers at 9:30 and 11:00, please continue on page 6 * The Great Thanksgiving Minister: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit. Minister: Lift up your hearts! People: We lift them up to the Lord! Minister: Let us give thanks unto our Lord God. People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise. Minister: It is right and good and a joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks unto You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. People: Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Your glorious Name; evermore praising You, and singing: - 4 -

5 * Prayer of Thanksgiving and Blessing We Proclaim Jesus Christ Crucified as the Only Salvation for Sinners Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 * The Words of Institution The Communion Please come forward down the center aisle. Partake of the elements upon receiving them from the elders. Return to your seat with your empty cup via the side aisle. Please use the following Scripture for private meditation. Psalm Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death. But God will strike the heads of His enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways. The Lord said, I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, that you may strike your feet in their blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe. Your procession is seen, O God, the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary the singers in front, the musicians last, between them virgins playing tambourines: Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O You who are of Israel's fountain! There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead, the princes of Judah in their throng, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. Summon Your power, O God, the power, O God, by which You have worked for us. Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings shall bear gifts to You. Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample underfoot those who lust after tribute; scatter the peoples who delight in war. Nobles shall come from Egypt; Cush shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God. O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord, to Him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, He sends out His voice, His mighty voice. Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, and whose power is in the skies. Awesome is God from His sanctuary; the God of Israel He is the one who gives power and strength to His people. Blessed be God! - 5 -

6 * Worshippers at 9:30 and 11:00, please continue here We go into the World with God's Peace to Live for His Glory Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21 * Closing Hymn No. 295 Crown Him with Many Crowns DIADEMATA * The Benediction Minister: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. People: Thanks be to God! Amen. Postlude The congregation stands. The flowers in our worship service this morning are given to the glory of God in joyful celebration of the birthday of Maryann Denton and in honor of "my beautiful wife and incredible Mommy" by Michael, Barrett, Madeleine and Natalie. Park Cities Presbyterian Church exists to extend the transforming presence of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ in Dallas and to the world. Personal Prayer and Counsel "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor... rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality." Romans 12.10, 12, 13 We want so much to come alongside you in brotherly love and hospitality by your allowing us to be in prayer for your salvation or any need you may have. Please join us in the Parlor (north of Fellowship Hall) following the worship service where our Elders and prayer leaders are available and eager to meet with you and pray with you in complete confidence.

9 Order of Worship for the Home The Week of November 7, 2010 Call to Worship (everyone together) Praise Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens! Praise Him for His mighty deeds; praise Him according to His excellent greatness! There Is a Redeemer (sing or say these words together) Please refer to hymn on page two. Hearing and Learning God s Word Scripture Reading: Philippians (one person read the Scripture aloud) Questions for Discussion (may be answered in one worship time or spread over several times) 1. What is the difference in joy and happiness? 2. Why does Paul say we should not put confidence in our flesh? 3. What about the good things that are true about us? Can they be a stumbling block? 4. Why does Paul say that knowing Christ is the greatest value we can have? Questions for older children 5. What does knowing the power of His resurrection mean? 6. Have you ever experienced God's power in your life? Scripture Memory for November (memorize these verses of Scripture this month) Philippians And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Prayer (saying together) 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. Crown Him with Many Crowns (sing or say these words together) Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav'nly 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
