Our Worship of God

Fourth Sunday of Pentecost

June 24, 2007    ____  __                                _           __                                    10:45 AM

  Worship in Community

        The Prelude                       

        The Welcome and Concerns of the Church

        The Introit                     “How Can I Keep From Singing”                      Chancel Choir

          

 Worship in Adoration and Praise

        The Call to Worship

             Leader: As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. 

             People: My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and         

                           behold the face of God? 

             Leader:  Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within

                           me?

             People:  Put your hope in God, for I shall again praise the One who is my

                           help and my God.

      *The Hymn of Praise      “God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand”                No. 262

      *The Invocation

      *The Response                “Christ We do All Adore You”                         Chancel Choir      

 

*Worship in Confession (unison)

            O God, many are the sins that torment us, holding us captive and restricting      

          the life you intend: bitterness and jealousy, resentment and envy, selfishness and           

          pride, self-loathing and contempt, and more that we cannot even name. What      

          have you to do with us and our sinful ways?

            Have you really come to release us? Is forgiveness really possible? Is the news           

          really that good? We hope it is so. Lord, make it so. Wash us with your mercy.    

          Seal us in your love. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen

 

*Declaration of Pardon

            Leader:    Friends, hear the Good News! Through faith you are all children of God                                

                                                                in union with Christ Jesus.      

            People:   Baptized into union with him, we have all put on Christ as a                                                             

                            garment.

            Leader:    Friends, believe the Good News!

            People:   In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

            Leader:    Leave self behind. Day after day, take up your cross and follow Christ.                                              

                                  Only in that risk are you ultimately safe.
