Service of Worship Sixth Sunday of Easter May 25, 2014 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God In the scripture lessons for this morning, we first find Paul arguing astutely before the council of the Aeropagus in Athens. He argues that the God of all creation is not bound to altars made by human hands. The God of the universe is not an unknown God, but one who is known in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The letter of 1 Peter focuses on the shape of a life with Christ and what it means to live into one s baptism. In the gospel lesson, Jesus tells his disciples that the time is coming when the world will no longer see him, though he promises his continued presence through the Holy Spirit, who will abide with them.
At the close of today s service, the Lord s Supper will be celebrated in the Memorial Chapel located to the left of the chancel. Immediately following the Lord s Supper, a service of prayer for healing will be held. The service consists of prayers for healing and wholeness, with anointing and laying on of hands. All are invited. The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation. The Chapel welcomes families with children. If at any time during the service your child needs a place for active play, please know there is a nursery in the Chapel basement.

Offertory Anthem Venite et Videte Venite et videte opera Dei; terribilis in consiliis super filios hominum. Omnis terra adoret te et psallat tibi; psalmum dicat nomini tuo. Qui convertit mare in aridam, in flumine pertransibunt pede; ibi laetabimur in ipso. John Wykoff (b. 1982) Qui dominatur in virtute sua in aeternum, oculi eius super gentes respiciunt; qui exasperant non exaltentur in semet ipsis. Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in his doing toward all. All the earth shall worship you and sing praises to you; They shall sing praises to your name. He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in him. God rules by his power forever; his eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Psalm 66:4-7 *Doxology lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise God above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
