Leader: We have come to worship God, People: who loved us before we were yet born, Leader: who knows us even better than we know ourselves, People: whose presence never leaves us, and whose love for us never ceases.
Leader: This is our God. People: Let us worship together!
*PRAYER
INVOCATION
I believe in God the FatherAlmighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ,His only Son,our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of theVirgin 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 FatherAlmighty; 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.
Faithful God,You know each one of us.You see us.You listen to us.And yet, we still run. Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? Holy One,we know the answer, and yet, we keep running.So forgive us for doubting your faithfulness. Forgive us for doubting the gifts you have bestowed upon us.Forgive us and help us to forgive each other. Amen.
Leader: It is God who makes us stand firm in Christ.He anointed us,set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit,guaranteeing what is to come.Therefore,let us assure one another of God’s pardon.
All: In Jesus Christ,we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
ANTHEM
Psalm 139
Chancel Choir
O Lord,You search my heart.
O Lord,You know my ev’ry thought, ev’ry word,ev’ry sigh.
You understand my rising.
You understand my soul when I need rest, andYou placeYour hand on me
Heather SorensenSpirit of God, speak once again through the Words of Scripture that our listening ears may hear Your voice. Help us to place Your Word in our minds, treasure it in our hearts, choose it with our wills, and live it through our bodies. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
1You have searched me,Lord, and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4Before a word is on my tongue you,Lord,know it completely.
5You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8If I go up to the heavens,you are there; if I make my bed in the depths,you are there.
9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say,“Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
12even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17How precious to me are your thoughts,God! How vast is the sum of them!
18Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake,I am still with you.
19If only you,God,would slay the wicked! Away from me,you who are bloodthirsty!
20They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21Do I not hate those who hate you,Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
Search me,God,and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Leader: This is the word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God!
Our Father,who art in heaven, hallowed beThy 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. ForThine is the kingdom, and the power,and the glory forever. Amen.
God, You Spin theWhirling Planets arr. J.S. Anthony Chancel Choir and Handbell Choir
God,You spin the whirling planets, fill the seas and spread the plain Mold the mountains,fashion blossoms, call forth sunshine,wind and rain. We,created inYour image, would a true reflection be OfYour justice,grace and mercy and the truth that makes us free.
1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Genesis 2:1-3 NIV
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing;so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

“Scriptures tells us that the Lord sometimes allows us to be ‘sifted’ for greater service. In otherwords, He may give Satan permission to affect an area of our life and thereby transform us into stronger witnesses for Him” like he did with Job.* If you’re going through a difficult time,let us share your burden.*From InTouch devotional,September 21,2022
