*CONFESSION OF SIN (in unison) Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left un-done. We have not loved you with our whole heart and soul and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy, forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
*ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS and EXCHANGE OF PEACE
*RESPONSE TO GOD’S GRACE (for all to sing) Hymn 695 CHANGE MY HEART
Change my heart, O God; make it ever true.Change my heart, O God; may I be like you.
You are the Potter; I am the clay.Mold me and make me; this is what I pray.Change my heart, O God; make it ever true.Change my heart, O God; may I be like you.

CALENDAR OFFERTORY We Are the Church Lee Dengler
We are the church, a fellowship divine; in one accord, we share the bread and wine!We are the church, ordained by God above, saved by His grace, united by His love!
We are the church of Christ the crucified. We bear good news: for all the world He died! We are the church, with purpose sure and true, to serve the Lord in all we say and do!We are the church; we labor not alone. He stands with us, our Christ, the cornerstone.
We are the church; we strive to do God’s will. Through joy or strife, He’s ever with us still.We are the church, inspired by saints of old; they gave their all to see Christ’s church unfold.Through sacrifice, they labored not in vain; bearing His cross, their loss was turned to gain.
We are the church, whatever may befall. His cross leads on, a beacon to us all!We are the church; by faith we live and love, until we reach His glorious church above!

CAMPUS UPDATE
Time to repair Webster Chapel, the Parlor and several classrooms in the Christian Education Center are ready for repairs. The rooms, which suffered water damage after Hurricane Irma, have been dried out by remediation specialists and the damaged surfaces, including drywall and flooring, were removed. Please consider how you can help in our campus renovation. Hurricane insurance deductibles are high, so your donations are vital to our effort. Our estimated costs may exceed $400,000, even after insurance is factored in. Stop by the Parlor after worship to see some of the extensive work that needs to be done.
REFORMATION SUNDAY
Special musical selections In recognition of October 31 as the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, two of today’s hymns, as well as the musical offering by Moorings Ringers, come from the early Reformation. Martin Luther, whose heart for church reform launched the Protestant Reformation, penned both the words and tune of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. Luther used Psalm 46 as a starting point, and expanded upon the Psalm text, giving the hymn a clearly Christian theme, with Christ as Victor over evil. The final hymn, All People That on Earth Do Dwell, is in the Calvinist (Reformed, Presbyterian) tradition, and is an English translation of Psalm 100, which had a new tune and French translation in John Calvin’s Genevan Psalter. The hymn before the sermon also has a connection to the Reformation, as contemporary hymnist David Gambrell wrote the text of Great God of Every Blessing in 2009 for the 500th anniversary of John Calvin’s birth. The note in our hymnal indicates that “…this text sums up [Calvin’s] liturgical theology, ending each stanza with his motto,” here translated as: “Sincerely and completely I offer you my heart.”
DONATION DRIVE
