GREETINGS, CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH AND REGISTRY OF ATTENDANCE

PRELUDE                               “Largo”                                                       Batiste

BRINGING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST INTO THIS ROOM

*CALL TO WORSHIP

ALL:  (Hymn 138, verse 1)  Holy, holy, holy!  Lord God Almighty!  Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!  God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

ONE:  God’s name is above every name!

ALL:  God’s voice is powerful; God’s voice is impressive.

ONE:  God’s presence gives strength to the people!

ALL:  With the power and the strength that God gives us, we begin our worship.  Let us turn now to God!  (From Psalm 29)

*HYMN  138 (verses 2,3 and 4)  “Holy, Holy, Holy!  Lord God Almighty!”

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON

O Triune God, we acknowledge our confusion about You and the ways in which You work.  For centuries, people have fought about who You are and what You do.  We, too, become so caught up in the debate that we forget about the important issues.  Forgive us, we pray!  Help us to focus only on Jesus, and to concentrate on following where He leads, trusting in Your Spirit to guide us in the way we should go.

*SILENT PRAYER

*ASSURANCE OF GOD’S PARDON

*GLORIA PATRI (Hymn 579)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

World without end! Amen, Amen.

READING FROM THE WRITINGS                                           Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31

READING FROM THE EPISTLE                                                         Romans 5:1-5

TIME WITH THE CHILDREN

Jesus loves me, this I know!  For the Bible tells me so.  Little ones to him belong, They are weak, but he is strong!  Yes, Jesus loves me!  Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so!

(Toddlers may go to the Nursery, older children remain in Worship today)

READING FROM THE GOSPEL                                                         John 16:12-15

SERMON                        “Relationship”                               Rev. Ann LaMar

HYMN 438             “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (From The Second Helvetic Confession, 1566)

God is Three.  We believe and teach that the same immense, one and indivisible God is in person inseparably and without confusion distinguished as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so, as the Father has begotten the Son from eternity, the Son is begotten by an ineffable generation, and the Holy Spirit truly proceeds from them both, the same from eternity, and is to be worshiped with both.  Thus there are not three gods, but three persons, consubstantial, co-eternal, and co-equal; distinct with respect to essence, and with respect to order, the one preceding the other yet without any inequality.  They are so joined together that they are one God, and the divine nature is common to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  (Paragraphs 5.016 and 5.017)
