3 WORSHIP LORD MAY T H E WITHGLADNESS Preparing Our Hearts for Worship Music for Meditation Linda Wolfe (piano), Brass Ensemble (instrumentalists) The Lord Calls Us to Worship Responsive Call to Worship Isaiah 60:1 & 2 Corinthians 4:6 Pastor: Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. People: For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. The Lord s Greeting 2 Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.. Response of Praise and Prayer Trinity Hymnal 101 Come, Thou Almighty King Prayer of Adoration Song Dwell in Me, O Blessed Spirit (PH397) Call to Confession Scripture Reading Luke 11:1-13 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples. And he said to them, When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation. And he said to them, Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him ; and he will answer from within, Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he

4 is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Prayer of Confession Response in Faith, Gratitude, and Prayer Song Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God Scripture Reading Acts 1:6-8 So when they had come together, they asked him, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Trinity Hymnal 368 The Ends of All the Earth Shall Hear Congregational Prayer Tithes and Offerings followed by Prayer of Dedication General Fund Ministry of the Word Scripture Acts 2:1-12 Sermon Pentecost: What Does This Mean Pastor Jeff Shamess Prayer of Application We Respond in Faith Song O Church Arise The Lord s Blessing Benediction Silent Prayer Postlude

We hope that you will join us again! Harvest Church exists to... MAKE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST who WORSHIP God with joy, WALK with one another in love, and WITNESS to our neighbors here and around the world. Harvest Church belongs to the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). The denomination s name captures two elements that are important to our church. First, orthodox, a word that means straight/true thinking or teaching, emphasizes our denomination s desire to be true to what the Bible, as God s inspired, inerrant, and authoritative word, teaches and commands. Second, the term presbyterian indicates our belief that Christ governs his church through elders, as well as our conviction that the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms are an accurate summary of Biblical teaching (you can read these at RESOURCESAVAILABLE Harvest Library Located on side of foyer The library is open every Sunday between the morning service and Sunday School and in the evening for 30 minutes following the service. CDs & DVDs Available by the library Sermons can also be downloaded from our website at Resource Shelves Located in the church office Did you know we have many great books and resources available for purchase in our church office?
