October 13, 2013 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

ASSEMBLE IN GOD’S NAME

Silent Prayer

Awesome Creator: you bring us together in this sanctuary,

calling us from all those places where we live and work and play,

so we can recognize you in faces lined with wisdom;

so we can hear you in the questions of the smallest child;

so we can sit up and notice all that you do in our midst.

Help us to see you Lord. Amen.

Call to Worship

Leader: Whether we live in an apartment or a house; if we reside

in the suburbs or the city:

People: God tells us to pray for the places where we live.

Leader: Whether we are exiles or prisoners for the gospel; if we

are young, old, insider, outcast:

People: God says, 'when you search for me, you will find me.

Leader: Whether we have been wandering and lost; or if we have

lived in the same place all our lives:

People: God says, 'I will gather you from all your places and

bring you home.

*Hymn - “Gather Us In” STF #2236

*Prayer of Confession (unison)

Leader: As we begin our worship, let us pause in silence to recall

how we so often lose sight of the gifts of each day and of

their Giver.

(a moment of silence)

Let us pray.

ALL: O God, we know that we forget about you, we forget to

love you, and we forget to help our neighbors. Forgive

us.

Great God who gives everything, forgive us when we

forget to say thank you.

Grant us clear minds to know you, new hearts to love

you and strong hands to serve you. Help us live this day,

this week, and always so that our whole life is a

thanksgiving to you. Amen.

*Words of Assurance Leader: God did not send Christ into the world to condemn the world, but to be its Savior. We can trust God’s word. We are a forgiven people. All: Thanks be to God! *Response - “Make Me a Servant” STF #2176 (choir sings once, then congregation joins ) Make me a servant, humble and meek Lord let me lift up those who are weak And may the prayer of my heart always be Make me a servant, make me a servant Make me a servant today.

*Sharing of the Peace Leader: As a forgiven and forgiving people let us now reach out to one another in peace. People: And also with you.

PROCLAIM GOD’S WORD

Children’s Sermon (Children should follow Mrs. Kolecki out after the Children’s Sermon.)

Anthem - “We Cannot Measure How You Heal” arr. by John L. Bell

Chancel Choir Old Testament Lesson: Jeremiah 29:1,4-7 (p.717)

Psalm 66:1-12 (responsive) Leader: Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise. People: Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds!

Leader: Because of your great power, your enemies cringe

before you. (continues on next page)

People: All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name.’ Leader: Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds among mortals. He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. People: There we rejoiced in him, who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations—let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Leader: Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip. People: For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. Leader: You brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs; you let people ride over our heads; People: we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.*

*Hymn - “God of the Sparrow” PH #272

Gospel Lesson: Luke 17:11-19 (p.954)

Sermon - “Seeing Those Who Are in Need” Richard Aylor, Seminary Intern

RESPONSE TO THE WORD

*Affirmation of Faith - Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius

Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into

heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the com-munion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Offering “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” - Melody Beattie

Musical Meditation *Doxology - PH#592

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.”

*Prayer of Dedication

Prayers of the People Leader: The Lord be with you People: And also with you. Leader: Let us pray. Prayers of Praise, Thanksgiving, and Intercession... All: 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:

GO IN GOD’S NAME

*Hymn - “Cry of My Heart” STF #2165 *Benediction *Choral Response *Postlude
