Service of Worship Third Sunday after Epiphany January 22, 2017 Eleven o clock in the morning Bridging Faith and Learning Calling Disciples, by He Qi This morning s Scripture readings speak to us of the power and necessity of belonging to Christ. In Matthew s Gospel, Jesus calls for repentance and proclaims the coming Kingdom of God. He calls his first disciples Peter, Andrew, James, and John who leave everything behind to follow him. In his letter to the church at Corinth, the apostle Paul exhorts his readers to reject divisions in the body of Christ. He invites the church both then and now to identify only with Jesus, whose cross is the source of true power.
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. On this Communion Sunday, families with children are invited to sit up front, so they can better observe The Great Thanksgiving. The congregation is invited to reflect silently during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

Prayers of the People (The congregation responds to each petition: Hear our prayer. ) Offertory Anthem The Lord is My Light and My Salvation galilee galilee John Rutter (b. 1945) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid: and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him. One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will require: even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle: yea, in the secret place of his dwelling he shall hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone. Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.
Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry unto thee: have mercy upon me, and hear me. My heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my face: thy face, Lord, will I seek. O hide not thou thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure. Thou hast been my succor: leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord taketh me up. Be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord. *Doxology -Psalm. 27:1, 3 5, 6a, 7 10, 14 lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia!
