GATHERING
Voluntary Chromhorne en taille François Couperin
*Prayer of the Day
Teach us, good Lord,
to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labor and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do your will;
through Jesus Chist our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
*Hymn 679 bulletin, p. 5 Let the Whole Creation Cry SALZBURG
*Prayer of Confession
O Lord our God,
you call us to proclaim the gospel,
but we remain silent in the presence of evil.
You call us to be reconciled to you and one another,
but we are content to live in separation.
You call us to seek the good of all,
but we fail to resist the powers of oppression.
You call us to fight pretensions and injustice,
but we sit idly by, endangering the lives of people far and near.
Forgive us, O Lord.
Reconcile us to you by the power of your Spirit,
and give us the courage and strength
to be reconciled to others;
through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Savior.
Silence is kept.
*Kyrie Eleison Hal H. Hopson
Congregational responses are in bold print.
The tenth verse of the
Gloria of Couperin’s
(1668-1733) second
organ Mass, pub. 1690,
portraying the text,
“Lord God, Lamb of
God, Son of the Father.”
The Prayer of
Confession and
Declaration of
Forgiveness are offered
from the baptismal font.
We believe that baptism
enacts and seals God’s
grace, offered freely to
all people.

Sermon
*Affirmation of Faith: The Apostles’ Creed Hymnal, Page 35 (front)
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 communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
(“Glory to God in the
Highest”) is a hymn of
praise developed from
Luke 2:14 (sung by the
angels to the shepherds
announcing Christ’s
birth).
The reader offers a
phrase to mark the end
of each reading, such as,
The Word of the Lord, or
Holy Wisdom, Holy Word.
The assembly responds,
Thanks be to God.
The hymn sung
immediately before the
reading of the Gospel is
called the Gradual, or
Gradual Hymn, which
refers to the step
(Latin gradus) from which
it was chanted in
medieval church practice.
After the reading of the
Gospel the reader says,
The Gospel of the Lord.
The assembly responds,
Praise be to you, O
Christ.
Various forms of the
Apostles’ Creed were
used from the second
century onward.
