God’s Word Directs Our Life & Worship
Psalm 119:97-104
Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. Your commandment makes me
wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my
teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for
I keep your precepts. I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your
word. I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me. How sweet are your
words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get
understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

God Calls His People to Worship Psalm 100:1-2

All People That on Earth Do Dwell
*God’s People Ask for God’s Blessing (Invocation)

*God’s People Profess Their Faith The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things
visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father
before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not
made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who
for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy
Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under
Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again
according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living
and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the
Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and
glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic* and
apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we
look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
* “catholic” means “universal”
*Gloria Patri Henry W. Greatorex
New City Catechism* Q & A #9
Q. What does God require in the first, second, and third commandments?
A: First, that we know and trust God as the only true and living God. Second, that
we avoid all idolatry and do not worship God improperly. Third, that we treat God’s
name with fear and reverence, honoring also His Word and works.
*Published by The Gospel Coalition and Crossway. Free copies are available on the table near the office door in the narthex. We will be using this catechism as a part of our worship until the end of December, 2020.

Facing Up to Our Sin Before God
God Instructs His People in His Standards Matthew 22:34-40 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered
together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is
the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great
and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
God’s People Respond by Confession of Sin
God Assures His People of His Grace in Christ Luke 24:45-47; Acts 16:30-31 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is
written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that
repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. . . . Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do
to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and
your household.”
Offering Our Prayers and Ourselves to God
Anthem Sing, Sing a Joyful Song Williams/Martin Junior Choir

Sing make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Come give thanks to Him with heart, soul and voice.
Sing, sing, praise Him and rejoice. Sing of God’s love. Sing of His grace.
Sing, make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Come worship the Lord and give Him your praise.
God’s People Respond with Thanksgiving & Petitions Morning Prayer and The Lord's Prayer Matthew 6:9B-13 (KJV) (ALT.) “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.

. . . Having done this, he shall propose to the candidate, in the presence of the

1. Do you believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as originally given,
to be the inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice?
2. Do you sincerely receive and adopt the Confession of Faith and the Catechisms of
this Church, as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures;
and do you further promise that if at any time you find yourself out of accord with
any of the fundamentals of this system of doctrine, you will, on your initiative,
make known to your Session the change which has taken place in your views since
the assumption of this ordination vow?
3. Do you approve of the form of government and discipline of the Presbyterian
Church in America, in conformity with the general principles of biblical polity?
4. Do you accept the office of ruling elder (or deacon, as the case may be) in this
church, and promise faithfully to perform all the duties thereof, and to endeavor
by the grace of God to adorn the profession of the Gospel in your life, and to set a
worthy example before the church of which God has made you an officer?
5. Do you promise subjection to your brethren in the Lord?
6. Do you promise to strive for the purity, peace, unity and edification of the church?
The ruling elder or deacon elect having answered in the affirmative, the minister shall address

Do you, the members of this church, acknowledge and receive this [these] brother [s]
as a ruling elder (or deacon), and do you promise to yield him all that honor,
encouragement and obedience in the Lord to which his office, according to the Word
of God and the Constitution of this church, entitles him?

INVITATION TO THE LORD’S SUPPER Our congregation will celebrate the Table of Our Lord today during this morning’s
Worship Service. Participation in the Supper is an expression of faith in the crucified
and risen Christ, and of commitment to live for Him.
Who may participate in this special meal of faith? We believe that participation in the Lord's Supper requires:
1. Baptism in the name of our Triune God.
2. A personal and genuine faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.
3. A public profession of faith as evidenced by:
Membership in a church, which teaches the Gospel, taught by Christ in the Bible, or
A personal testimony before a committee of our Elders.
4. A repentant heart that is prepared to obey Christ's Word as enabled by the Holy Spirit.
5. An understanding of the elements used in the Lord's Supper.
6. Proper preparation of one's heart for communion with Christ.
If you believe that you are unable to meet these biblical requirements for participation in the Supper, please
speak with one of our Elders or Pastors. We will be happy to explain to you how in the future you may
celebrate the Lord's Supper with us in a biblical manner.
THE LARGER CATECHISM Q.171. How are they that receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to prepare themselves before they come
unto it?
A. They that receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper are, before they come, to prepare themselves
thereunto, by examining themselves of their being in Christ, of their sins and wants; of the truth and measure
of their knowledge, faith, repentance; love to God and the brethren, charity to all men, forgiving those that
have done them wrong; of their desires after Christ, and of their new obedience; and by renewing the
exercise of these graces, by serious meditation, and fervent prayer.
Q.174. What is required of them that receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the time of the administration
of it?
A. It is required of them that receive the sacrament of the Lord's supper, that, during the time of the
administrations of it, with all holy reverence and attention they wait upon God in that ordinance, diligently
observe the sacramental elements and actions, heedfully discern the Lord's body, and affectionately
meditate on his death and suffering, and thereby stir up themselves to a vigorous exercise of their graces;
in judging themselves, and sorrowing for sin; in earnest hungering and thirsting after Christ, feeding on
him by faith, receiving of his fullness, trusting in his merits, rejoicing in his love, giving thanks for his
grace; in renewing of their covenant with God, and love to all the saints.
Q.175. What is the duty of Christians, after they have received the sacrament of the Lord's Supper?
A. The duty of Christians, after they have received the sacrament of the Lord's supper, is seriously to
consider how they have behaved themselves therein, & with what success; if they find quickening &
comfort, to bless God for it, beg the continuance of it, watch against relapses, fulfill their vows, &
encourage themselves to a frequent attendance on that ordinance; but if they find no present benefit, more
exactly to review their preparation to, & carriage at, the sacrament; in both which, if they can approve
themselves to God & their own consciences, they are to wait for the fruit of it in due time; but, if they see
they have failed in either, they are to be humbled, & to attend upon it afterwards with more care & diligence.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Adult Sunday School Classes:
Learning To Love The Psalms – This video series with W. Robert Godfrey looks at the
book of Psalms as one of the greatest treasures the Lord has given His people. Through these
sacred poems, God has given us a rich songbook and a divinely inspired guide for our
prayers. This series will give an overview of the Psalms with the specific goal of learning to
love them through a study of their themes, structure and beauty. This class will be led by
Mike Wolcott and Wayne Lesieur.
Denomination and Congregational Conversations and Prayer: The Presbyterian Church
in America was founded in December of 1973 and celebrated its 46th birthday. As the
denomination enters its “midlife” years, many changes have taken place in our culture and
the church has sometimes struggled with how to respond to the culture. The Scriptures have
never changed, but we always struggle with how to apply them in the culture. During these
years there have been a number of topics that have garnered a lot of discussion and sometimes
division. All pastors, ruling elders and deacons in the PCA hold to the Scriptures as our only
infallible guide for faith and practice. This class will address questions dealing with a variety
of issues facing the church. We plan to talk about why people have left the PCA and are in
the process of forming a new denomination and why people are staying. We plan to talk
about the “weaponization” of the ninth commandment. In addition to studying for example
how the PCA responds to the issues of “gay Christians” and “same sex attractions” we
anticipate spending time in prayer each week for Trinity and the PCA. (Bob will never call
upon a class member to pray aloud – it would only be volunteers who would pray.) We plan
to address the issue of abuse of women and why sometimes PCA Sessions have been silent.
We will also look at essentials and non-essentials during a time of calling a new pastor. This
class will be taught by Bob Eickelberg
Communicants Class – This spring, we are offering the opportunity to young people, grade 7
and up, to attend Communicants Class. If you feel your child is ready, he/she will be welcome

Prayer & Information Encouragement & Sign-Up
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession & thanksgiving be made for everyone—“ The Apostle Paul in his first letter to Timothy, chapter 2 verse 1
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.”
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Colossians, chapter 4, verse 2
“As you help us by your prayers” Paul, II Corinthians 1:11
“Pray continually” I Thess. 5:17
Pastor Eickelberg constantly encourages us at Trinity that we are about the ministry of “Making
Maturing Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ …as We Are [in part]…Perfecting and Loving
His Saints….” Loving One Another is an important part of our being Mature Disciples! Praying
for One Another is an important part of Loving One Another and an important part of the
Perfecting of God’s Saints. Praying for One Another is an important part of being a Mature
Disciple!
The Christians are described in the book of Acts as ones who “devoted themselves to the
apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (2:42) There are many things for which we should be praying for one another that are indicated
in the Scriptures. We are called upon to pray for Spiritual Maturity, for Boldness, for the
Conversion of sInners who are not Christians, for an Increase in Love and Service for our Lord,
for those in authority over us, among many other things.
We also have opportunity to love one another and pray for one another as we learn of the
cares, burdens and struggles with which our members are wrestling. John prayed in this way.
“Beloved I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2) We believe that we need to grow more and more in our caring for one another
in this way. We can also use the information to follow up with cards, calls, food and other acts of
mercy for those that are in need.
To that end we want to ask EVERY member, friend and regular attender to join in
finding out on a regular basis about the needs of other members and friends of our church family.
There are TWO WAYS that we have set up to help you do this.
1. The most timely and efficient way is for you to sign up to receive the Prayer &
Information emails that are sent out. These come out at various times during the day or night
depending upon when the requests come in, etc.
2. The second way to keep up with the prayer requests is to wait until Sunday morning
and see them in print. If you do not have an e-mail address, we can print weekly e-mails and put
them in your mailbox, if requested, or you can look at the Prayer & Info notebook next to the
mailboxes with the printed emails of the prayer requests.
How do I sign up? Simply let the church office know your email address or your desire to receive
a printed copy in your mailbox. Call or send your request to [email protected]
