Take the Sermon with you...
Today’s Scripture ReadingsLuke 12:32-4832 “Do not be afraid, little fl ock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 35 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; 36 be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master fi nds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and fi nds them so, blessed are those slaves. 39 “But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”41Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?”42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and prudent manager whom his master will put in charge of his slaves, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that slave whom his master will fi nd at work when he arrives. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. 45 But if that slave says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and if he begins to beat the other slaves, men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk, 46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and put him with the unfaithful. 47
Th at slave who knew what his master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will receive a severe beating. 48 But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.
Today’s Special Music
Seraphic Fire’s GRAMMY® nominated Professional Choral Institute at Aspen Music Festival and School is the fi rst summer program in the country designed to prepare emerging singers to work in the growing industry of professional ensemble singing. PCI alumni have now performed with nearly every professional vocal ensemble in the country. In 2012, Seraphic Fire and PCI received a GRAMMY® nomination for their recording of Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem.
PCI singers will have the opportunity to rehearse and sing two side-by-side concerts with Seraphic Fire: a collaboration with the Aspen Festival Orchestra in the Benedict Music Tent conducted by Robert Spano, and a performance in the Harris Concert Hall conducted by Seraphic Fire founder and artistic director Patrick Dupré Quigley. Participants will study in an intensive vocal and ensemble-skills curriculum, receiving individual and group vocal coachings from professional members of Seraphic Fire, and will participate in audition, resumé, and vocal masterclasses led by Quigley, Bass, and members of Seraphic Fire.

Welcome, Announcements, and Peace
Call to Worship written by Bruce Prewer Saviour Christ, increase our faith that we may trust the unseen truths as more importantthan bland or trivial physical possessions.Loving God, increase our hope that we may reach out for a better tomorrow and beundaunted by temporary setbacks.Inspiring Spirit, increase our lovethat we may put into the world something of the joyand compassion which you put into our lives.For the sake of your new world,
and to your praise and glory. Amen.
Hymn of Praise #433, Rise Up, O Church of God
Opening Prayer adapted from Ann Siddall
O God, help us to examine our attachments, and to sense where You invite us to live more simply and deeply. Shine the light of Your love into the private corners of our lives where we have acquired so much clutter that it has begun to restrict our freedom.Grant us the strength to free ourselves from appetites and needs that drive us into taking, having and wanting more than we need or have time for.Teach us that in letting go we become free rather than deprived, generous rather than covetous, and spacious rather than restricted.
Reshape us, renew us, redeem us, in Your holy name we pray. Amen.

Th e Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Th y name. Th y kingdom come; Th y will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil, for Th ine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Communion
We receive the Lord’s Supper by intinction. A communion server will hand you a piece of bread, representing the
body of Christ, which you dip in the cup, representing the blood of Christ. All are welcome at the Lord’s Table.
*Gluten-Free wafers available upon request **All of our communion wine is non-alcoholic
Closing Prayer written by Bruce Prewer
Loving God, be to us as a bulldozer of the spirit.Clear Your road in us; clear a path through the detritus of possessions and obsessions.Th rust aside our divided aims and devious games.Topple the ramparts of pride and the doubts that deride.Make a highway on which Christ may come and take possession of the whole territory of our being.
