Service of Worship Seventh Sunday after Pentecost July 7, 2013 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God Naaman is restored to life in the Jordan River, by Caspar Luiken (1672-1708). Biblical faith is not only a confession of the mind or heart; it is also a faith of hands and feet an embodied belief to be lived out in the world. In 2 Kings, Naaman s is a story of border-crossings and evangelism. He humbles himself and follows the advice of the prophet Elisha, and in so doing comes to believe in and bear witness to the power of the God of Israel. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, critiques those who would seek obedience for show, while encouraging followers of Christ to live as a new creation, sowing and reaping in the Spirit. In Luke s gospel Jesus sends his disciples into the world, using the language of harvest. He gives practical insight about inviting people to participate in the work of God, calling his followers to heal, to announce the nearness of God, to accept the hospitality of strangers, and to move on if their words are not received.
The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation. Gathering Carillon Brass Prelude Four Movements for Five Brass Charles Collier Jones I.
