ORDER OF WORSHIP – 10:00 A.M.

Gathering Gathering Chime

Prelude Prelude in F Major Guilmant

Welcome and Announcements Introit Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty (v.1) No. 403

Open now thy gates of beauty, Zion, let me enter there, where my soul in joyful duty

waits for God who answers prayer; O how blessed is this place, filled with solace, light, and grace.

Call to Worship (Ps. 133)

How very good and pleasant it is when sisters and brothers live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, like the dew that falls on the mountains of Zion. Together, let us worship God.

Church at Home by Anthony R. Faldo

Call to Confession

Prayer of Confession

Most merciful God, forgive us. We imagine that we can live without you, when you give us our very breath. We seek control over others rather than strive to live in unity. We allow fear to overtake us, even though our lives are in your hands. Draw us back into your steadfast love and shape us into the likeness of your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Silent Confession

Assurance of Pardon

Word

Prayer for Illumination Scripture Reading 1 Samuel 17:1-49

One: This is the word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living 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.

Time with Our Children Jen Pierce Joys and Concerns of the Congregation

Lord in your goodness: Hear our praise; Lord in your mercy: Hear our prayer.

Prayers of the People and the Lord’s 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 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
