Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God

Service of WorshipSixth Sunday of Easter

May 9, 2010Eleven o’clock in the morning

The lesson from Acts describes a woman, Lydia, whose heart is opened while listening to Paul, and she is baptized with her family. She then displays hospitality by opening her home to the visitors. Many suggest that Lydia is the first convert, and her hospitality the beginning of the Church. In the gospel lesson from John, Jesus tells his disciples that he and the father will “make our home” with those who love him. In the book of Revelation, heaven is described as a perfect city. There is no temple or church there, because God is everywhere present, making his home among its inhabitants. In what ways is God seeking to make his home in you?

“Regler Church, Erfurt, “ by Lyonel Feininger, 1930

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

offertory anthem Thou gracious God, Whose mercy lends English Folk Tune arr. Mack Wilberg

Thou gracious God, whose mercy lends the light of home, the smile of friends, our gathered flock thine arms enfold, as in the peaceful days of old. Wilt thou not hear us while we raise, in sweet accord of solemn praise, the voice that have mingled long in joyous flow of

mirth and song?

For all the blessings life has brought, for all the sorrowing hours have taught, for all we mourn, for all we keep, the hands we clasp, the loved that sleep. The noontide sunshine of the past, these brief, bright moments fading fast, the stars that gild our dark’ning years, the twilight rays from holier spheres.

We thank thee Father; let thy grace our loving circle still embrace, thy mercy shed its heav’nly store, thy peace be with us evermore. thy mercy shed its heav’nly store, thy peace be with us evermore. Amen!

*DoxoloGy lasst uns erfreuenPraise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise God above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
