*PROCESSIONAL HYMN #1 Holy, Holy, Holy NICAEA
This great hymn was written by Reginald Heber. Its lyrics speak
specifically of the Holy Trinity, having been written for use on Trinity
Sunday. It quotes the Sanctus of the Latin Mass, which translated into English begins Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God of Hosts. The text also
paraphrases Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:1–11. John Bacchus Dykes
composed the tune Nicaea for this hymn in 1861.
The tune name is a
tribute to the First Council of Nicaea, which formalized the doctrine of
the Trinity in 325.
*OPENING PRAYER Rev. Coggins

Reading & Proclaiming God’s Word
NEW TESTAMENT EPISTLE LESSON Casey Gruszecki
Romans 8:12-17: So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors,
not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—for if you live
according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to
death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by
the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a
spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a
spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very
Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with
Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be
glorified with him.
Leader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. People: Thanks be to God!
GOSPEL LESSON Casey Gruszecki
Leader: The Gospel of the Lord according to John. People: Praise be to you, O Christ.
John 3:1-17: Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God." Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can
enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
"Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
"Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”
Leader: For the Word of God in Scripture. For the Word of God among us. For the Word of God within us.
People: Thanks be to God!
*THE FELLOWSHIP HYMN #62 God of Our Fathers
NATIONAL HYMN

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, let us pledge allegiance to

in a solemn prayer. God bless America, land that I love, stand beside her and
guide her through the night with a light from above. From the mountains,
to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America,
