Mary Busko
The LORD answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you! May God send help from the sanctuary and give us support from Zion. May we shout for joy over God’s victory in conquering death. Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the LORD our God. They will collapse and fall, but we shall rise and stand upright. Please rise in body or spirit and let us worship God!

Offertory 3. Make Thou in me, O God, a clean heart, and grant me Thy spirit of holiness. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; make me willing to obey. Then will I teach Thy way to others; I will sing of Thy mercy and forgiveness; With my whole being I’ll praise Thee, forever and forever, Amen.

O God, Beyond All Praising – Proulx
Offertory Response + Prayer of Dedication + Hymn +
We confess the times we fail to involve ourselves in planting any seeds of faith in the lives of others; the times when our personal agendas become more important than yours; the times when we have denied others the opportunity to expand their faith through our lack of interest or involvement; the times when our lives become so entangled with the values of the world that we forget what you have said and done and promised. Lord Jesus Christ, we know that when we become disconnected from you, our lives become parched and unfruitful and our faith becomes stunted and dry. Bless and renew our lives, we pray, so that we remain connected to you at all times and in all places, strengthening our faith to expand and grow to bear the fruit of your mercy and love. Amen.

“Mark’s Jesus: A Summer Sermon Series, Part III”
Postlude + Affirmation of Christian Faith + The Apostles’ Creed (in unison)
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.
