Greeting Kirsten HomdromOne: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.All: And also with you.One: Let us prepare for worship.

Preparation for WorshipGod of the ages, you call the church to keep watch in the world and to discern the signs of the times. Grant us the wisdom which your Spirit bestows, that with courage we may proclaim your prophetic word and complete the work that you have set before us; through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Minute for Generosity Alice Lutz, Executive Director, Triangle Family Services

Call to Worship from Psalm 121 One: Let us lift our eyes to the high places, the places that inspire, that we might catch visions of God. All: Our help comes from the Lord, the Lord who made heaven and earth. One: By grace and mercy, the Lord is the keeper of our souls and our lives. All: The promise of God is tried and true: the Lord keeps us through our births and then forever. One: We belong to God. Let us worship God with thanksgiving and praise.

*Hymn 401 - Here in This Place GATHER US IN *Call to Confession

*Prayer of Confession In the name of Jesus Christ, we make our confession. We are called to welcome others, to share hospitality, to make space in our hearts and lives for others to belong. But we close our hearts. We lock our doors. We let our churches erect barriers. Gracious God we call upon you to help us write a new narrative. By the power of the Spirit and through the wonder of Jesus help us to unlock our doors and our hearts. Help us to belong to you as we learn to belong to each other. Amen.

*Assurance of Pardon

*Passing of the PeaceOne: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.All: And also with you.

*Response - The Peace of the Earth Guatemalan text and melodyThe peace of the earth be with you, the peace of the heavens too; The peace of the rivers be with you, the peace of the oceans too. Deep peace falling over you. God’s peace growing in you.

WE RESPOND TO GOD’S WORD

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer Genevieve Brooks 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 Anthem(8:15) A Prayer Jared Johnson

O God, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship, narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride, and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block to straying feet, but rugged and strong enough to turn back the tempter’s power. O God, make the door of this house the gateway of your eternal kingdom. You who have given us this heritage, grant us grace gratefully to receive it, wisely to use it, and faithfully to continue it, to your glory and our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (from the King’s Chapel Prayer Book)

(9:30 & 11:00) I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Leo Sowerby (1895-1968)I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper; thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil, he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Amen.

Offertory Response Hymn 761 - stanza 1 BEECHERCalled as partners in Christ’s service, called to ministries of grace, we respond with deep commitment fresh new lines of faith to trace. May we learn the art of sharing, side by side and friend with friend, equal partners in our caring to fulfill God’s chosen end.

*All who are able may stand.

*Affirmation of Faith from Brief Statement of Faith, 1983We trust in God,whom Jesus called Abba, Father.In sovereign love God created the world goodand makes everyone equally in God’s imagemale and female, of every race and people,to live as one community.But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.Ignoring God’s commandments,we violate the image of God in others and ourselves,accept lies as truth,exploit neighbor and nature,and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care.We deserve God’s condemnation.Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem creation.In everlasting love,the God of Abraham and Sarah chose a covenant peopleto bless all families of the earth.Hearing their cry,God delivered the children of Israelfrom the house of bondage.Loving us still,God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant.Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child,like a father who runs to welcome the prodigal home,God is faithful still.

WE GO IN GOD’S NAME

*Hymn 306 - Blest Be the Tie That Binds DENNIS *Charge and Benediction

*Chiming of the Trinity The worship service ends with the Chiming of the Trinity.

Please be mindful of those who remain to listen to the postlude.

*Postlude - Final from Symphonie No. 1 (excerpt) Louis Vierne (1870-1937)

Today at 3 p.m. in the Sanctuary, Karl Zinsmeister, WMPC Director of Music, will present A to Z and In Between, an organ recital featuring compositions by Albright, Bach, Miller, Still, Vierne, and yes, an arrangement for brass choir and organ by Zinsmeister. The first portion of the program will include a piece called Rex: The King of Instruments for narrator and organ—the work demonstrates and explains some of the basic workings of the grandest of instruments, the pipe organ. Young audience members will be invited up to sit near the console for an up close view during this selection. Other musical styles include bluegrass, hymn, march, and Franz Liszt’s Prelude and Fugue on the Name B-A-C-H. All are invited—there should be something for everyone—from A to Z!

women who appear in--and disappear from--the books of the New Testament. We will use some familiar and some not-so-familiar lenses to explore fresh understanding of age old stories.
