WORSHIP | EMBRACE | SERVE in the manner of Christ

Today is Reformation Sunday. We remember the ancestors of our way of Christian faith and we thank God for their contributions to our witness.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental Toccata in F Major begins with a two-part canon in the hands over a pedal point. This texture quickly evolves to a three-part imitative texture, including an involved pedal part. If you listen carefully, you may even hear Bach’s own name – B-A-C-H – inscribed into the music.

Long attributed to John Calvin, our opening hymn has been sung by Presbyterians and Reformed Christians with joy for hundreds of years.

Our Presbyterian ancestors often recited the Decalogue, that is the Ten Commandments of Moses (found in Exodus 20), each week in worship as a reminder of the law of God and their need of mercy when they did not live into its fullness.

WE PROCLAIM GOD’S WORD

Sacrament of Baptism(9:30) Claire Elizabeth Boerner, child of Mary Ward and Chris Boerner

Old Testament Lesson - Psalm 65 – see insert CARLISLE

Anthem - A Mighty Fortress Is Our God arr. Kyle Pederson (pub. 2019)A Mighty Fortress is our God, a refuge never failing. Our helper He amid the flood of mortal winds prevailing. For still our spirit’s foes doth seek to work us woe; They lure with pow’r so great, with judgment and with hate; Shield us e’er, guard us as Thy own. If we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing. Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing. You ask who this may be? Christ Jesus it is He. Emmanuel His name, from age to age the same; Who was, Who is, Who e’er shall be. Thy Word above all earthly pow’r; Thy Love above all earthly pow’r; Thy Hope above all earthly pow’r; My God above all earthly pow’r. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill, God’s truth abideth still. The Kingdom is forever. (Martin Luther, adapted by Kyle Pederson)

Ed Stephenson, guitar New Testament Lesson - Luke 18:9-17 pew Bible, p. 76

One: The word of God for the people of God.All: Thanks be to God.

(11:00) A Time with Young Disciples Following our time together, four year-olds through second graders will meet with Matthew Corkey at the

door near the baptismal font, to be joined by Paula Corkey from the OnPoint@1704 service, for Worship Enrichment in L201.

Sermon - Ecclesia Reformata — Ecclesia Reformanda Christopher Edmonston

WE RESPOND TO GOD’S WORD

(8:15) Ordination and Installation of OfficersElders: Michelle Jeutter, *Julia Reeder, *Gregg ThompsonDeacon: Geff Bitler

*asterisk denotes those to be ordained

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer Press Millen (9:30, 11:00)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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Presentation of Tithes and Offerings

Offertory - Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios (an Alm for the Love of God) Agustin Barrios Mangore (1885-1944)

Ed Stephenson, guitar

In composer Kyle Pederson’s words, “This arrangement of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God is a re-imagining of Martin Luther’s iconic melody. New harmonies and ambient electric guitar accompaniment create an ancient/modern feel… to this classic hymn.”

Our Presbyterian ancestors sung ONLY Psalms for many, many years. We sing Psalm 65 today as a way of remembering their witness and their worship. This setting of Psalm 65 comes from Psalms for All Seasons, a psalter with multiple musical settings of the psalms in different styles.

Translated from the Latin: “the church reformed is always reforming.” As Christians in the Reformed Tradition, our calling is to continually look to God to improve and advance the mission of the church.

*All who are able may stand.

Offertory Hymn 265 – stanza 5 DUKE STREETLet every creature rise and bringhonors peculiar to our King;angels descend with songs again,and earth repeat the loud Amen!

*Affirmation of Faith from the Presbyterian Church USA Study Catechism All: What is God’s purpose for our lives? One: God wills that we should live by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the love of God, and in the communion of the Holy Spirit. All: How do we live for the love of God? One: We love because God first loved us. God loves us in Christ with a love that never ends. We entrust ourselves to God’s care: giving thanks each day for the wonderful goodness of God. Amazed by grace, we no longer live for ourselves. We live for the Lord who died and rose again, triumphant over death. Therefore, we take those around us to heart, especially those in need, knowing that Christ died for them no less than for us.

WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

Generosity Campaign 2020 UpdateAs of Wednesday, October 23, we have received 537 pledges totaling $2,612,332.75. If you have not already, please consider making a pledge at www.whitememorial.org/generosity.

Our affirmation of faith comes from 1998. It is from a study catechism. Presbyterians have always been committed to education in all its forms. Catechisms are study tools by which the core principles of our faith are explained and taught.

This hymn, based on Psalm 46, was written by Martin Luther. Part of his reformation was found in getting the people to sing their faith as the body of Christ. The tune name is taken from the German: Ein’feste burg ist unser Gott which is translated, “a mighty fortress is our God.”

Beginning Sunday, November 3 our first worship service will be at8:00 a.m. (instead of 8:15 a.m.) All other worship times remain the same.
