Welcome and Parish Concerns Musical Call to Worship

*Call to Worship Psalm 95:1-3 O come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. *Hymn No. 482 “Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty” Lobe Den Herren *Confession of Sin Merciful God, We confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, By what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, Help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, So that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, To the glory of your holy name. Amen. *Assurance of Pardon *Response of Praise

“First Song of Isaiah”

Surely it is God who saves me; I will trust in him and not be afraid. For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense, And he will be my Savior. Repeat

*Response in Song “On Eagle’s Wings” And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings, Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, And hold you in the palm of His hand. *Closing Voluntary

Come to the table, all you who praise God. Laid in a stable, God’s gift of love: Jesus our Savior poured out his life’s blood. Our sins forgiven, God’s gift of love.

Words of Institution

Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you’re better, You will never come at all.

John Madura

Bunnesan

All is now ready, like the first table. Pray for the Spirit; lift up your hearts. Christ has arisen, our Lord and Savior. With great thanksgiving, lift up your hearts. Table Prayer 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.

Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome, God’s free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Ev’ry grace that brings you nigh. Arise and come to Jesus…

Charles Callahan

“Come to the Table”

Come eat this bread now, my broken body. My vow remember: I am your Lord. Drink of this wine, the cup of salvation, for you are mine, and I am your Lord.

Arise and come to Jesus, He’ll embrace you in His arms; In the arms of our dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms.

Grant us, dear God, in all our duties your help; in all our uncertainties your guidance; in all our dangers your protection; and in all our sorrows your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) “Variations on ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’” Rebecca Sawyer, organ

arr. Patti Drennan

Come ye sinners poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and pow’r.

Preparation for Worship O loving God, to turn away from you is to fall, to turn toward you is to rise, and to stand before you is to abide forever.
