THE COMMUNITY GATHERS VOLUNTARY

Allegro con spirito in B-flat Major — Frank Bridge

GREETING INTROIT (sung in Latin) CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 8 (In Unison)

HYMN (found on page six)

Laudamus Te (from Gloria, RV 589) — Antonio Vivaldi We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory.

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens.

Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.

You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! #571 Go, Make of All Disciples — LANCASHIRE

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

After each prayer, the leader may conclude: Lord, in your mercy.

All may respond: Hear our prayer.

THE LORD'S PRAYER

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen 3

WE HEAR THE WORD PROCLAIMED CANTICLE

The Majesty and Glory of Your Name — Tom Fettke When I gaze into the night sky and see the works of Your fingers, the moon and stars suspended in space: but, what is man that You are mindful of him? You have given man a crown of glory and honor, and have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation: the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea. O Lord, our God, the majesty and glory of Your name transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God, little children praise You perfectly; and so would we, and so would we. Alleluia.

SCRIPTURE Matthew 10:1-8

Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

(NIV) This is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God.

OFFERTORY

When We Love — Elaine Hagenberg The towering tree spreads his greening canopy, a veil between the soil and sky, not in selfish vanity, but the gentle thrush to shade and shelter. So it is with love. For when we love, simply love, even as we are loved, our weary world can be transformed. The busy thrush builds her nest below, a fortnight’s work to weave and set, not for herself alone, but her tender brood to shield and cherish. And so it is with love. For when we love, simply love, even as we are loved, our weary world can be transformed into the Kingdom of God.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

All things come from you, O God, and with gratitude we return to you what is yours. You created all that is, and with love formed us in your image. When our love failed, your love remained steadfast.

You gave your only Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior. All that we are, and all that we have, is a trust from you. And so, in gratitude for all your gifts, we offer you ourselves, and all that we have, in union with Christ's offering for us. By your Holy Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

WE GO AS GOD'S PEOPLE INTO THE WORLD HYMN (found on page seven) BENEDICTION (In Unison) VOLUNTARY

#664 Sent Forth by God's Blessing — THE ASH GROVE May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Amen.

Prelude in Classic Style — Gordon Young
