PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND OUR LEADERS
It is hard to believe it but back to school means back to
normal. Iwas talking to a fellow member and they actually said, "I
cant wait for our life to slow down when school starts." I was in
total agreement. Though I'm not sure the "back-to-school" schedule
becomes less busy, it just seems that way. The difference is time
becomes more regimented. A routine is established. Boundary lines
are set and it seems to make life more manageable.
At St. Paul, our schedule becomes routine as well. Bible studies
begin again, Sunday Morning schedules become more regimented,
Wednesday Night Suppers have begun, and a host of other ministries
resume from summer break. With this perceived normalcy of time and
calendar, I want to highlight two possibilities for you to
consider:
Wednesday Night Suppers at 5:45 pm This is a perfect opportunity
to fulfill the fellowship need of our life. We are relational
beings and operate best when we are together.
Two Bible Studies on Wednesday Nights Beginning September 5,
immediately after supper (at 6:20 pm), there will be two studies
offered so that we can grow together. One study group will meet in
the Fellowship Hall, while the other will be offered by Rev. John
Fugh, Jr. in the Wilson Library. Both of these will be excellent
times to learn and grow in faith.
I hope to see you there.

(8:45) Lyric Processionalby Raymond Haan
(10:55) Rhosymedreby A. Jordan
*The Hymn of Celebration: To God Be the GloryNo. 98
*The Minister: Let Us Unite in the Historic Confession of the
Christian Church
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from
the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of
God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the
quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic
church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
*The Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as
it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen, Amen.
The Call to Prayer
Take this moment to prepare to speak to the One who is more
focused upon our hearts than upon our words. One who is more
committed to us and our souls well being than we are to our bodys
comforts and pleasures. One who has shown us by the passion of our
Lord Jesus Christ the seriousness with which He makes our
appointment. The only One who loves us just because His love is
greater than our sin. Free yourself in these moments from your
fear-filled secrets by prayerfully confessing them in the presence
of our Heavenly Father.
The Pastoral PrayerRev. John Fugh, Jr.
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come, thy 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. And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever. Amen.
*The Hymn of Preparation: Freely, FreelyNo. 389
The Minister: Let Us Worship God with His Tithes and Our
Offerings
The Offertory Prayer
The Offertory: Pastoraleby Louis Lefebure-Wely

praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. Amen.
