CALL TO WORSHIP One: Many: All:

HYMN

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness.

Come into God’s presence with singing!

Praise, My Soul, the God of Heaven (from Glory to God) LAUDA ANIMA

1. Praise, my soul, the God of heaven; glad of heart your carols raise; ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who, like me, should sing God's praise?

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Praise the Maker all your days!

3. Like a loving parent caring, God knows well our feeble frame, gladly all our burdens bearing, still to countless years the same.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

All within me, praise God's name!

2. Praise God for the grace and favor shown our forebears in distress; God is still the same forever, slow to chide, and swift to bless.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Sing our Maker's faithfulness.

4. Angels, teach us adoration; you behold God face to face.

Sun and moon and all creation, dwellers all in time and space: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Praise with us the God of grace!

PRAYER OF CONFESSION Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, whose face is hidden from us by our sins, and whose mercy we forget in the blindness of our hearts: Cleanse us from all our offenses, and deliver us from proud thoughts and vain desires, that with reverent and humble hearts we may draw near to you, confessing our faults, confiding in your grace, and finding in you our refuge and strength; through Jesus Christ your Son.

SERMON

“The Judas Virus” Series: The Apostles: Servants for the 21st Century

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

Dr. Sullivan

The Apostles’ Creed 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.

WORD

SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER

One: Many: One: Many: One: Many:

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

The prayer continues.

… Great is the mystery of faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

INTERCESSION, SUPPLICATION, AND CONSECRATION One: Many:

In your mercy, Lord, hear our prayer.

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 debts as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

HYMN

Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts (from Glory to God) QUEBEC

1. Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts, thou fount of life, thou light of all, from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn, unfilled, to heed thy call.

2. Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; thou savest those that on thee call; to them that seek thee thou art good, to them that find thee, all in all.

3. We taste thee, O thou living bread, and long to feast upon thee still; we drink of thee, the fountainhead, and thirst our souls from thee to fill.

4. Our restless spirits yearn for thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest when our faith can hold thee fast.

5. O Jesus, ever with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright.

O chase the night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE BREAD AND CUP Please share in your home bread and juice or wine.

HYMN

There In God’s Garden (from Glory to God) 1. There in God’s garden stands the tree of Wisdom, whose leaves hold forth the healing of the nations: tree of all knowledge, tree of all compassion, tree of all beauty.

2. Its name is Jesus, name that says, “Our Savior!”

There on its branches see the scars of suffering; see there the tendrils of our human selfhood feed on its lifeblood.

3. Thorns not its own are tangled in its foliage; our greed has starved it; our despite has choked it.

Yet, look! it lives! its grief has not destroyed it nor fire consumed it.

4. See how its branches reach to us in welcome; hear what the Voice says, “Come to me, ye weary!

Give me your sickness; give me all your sorrow; I will give blessing.”

5. This is my ending; this, my resurrection; into your hands, Lord, I commit my spirit.

This have I searched for; now I can possess it.

This ground is holy.

6. All heaven is singing, “Thanks to Christ whose passion offers in mercy healing, strength, and pardon.

Peoples and nations, take it; take it freely!”

Amen! My Master!

NOTICES

WORSHIP AND THE BUIL DING

Public worship at Pine Street has been canceled until the Session determines when it is possible to return. The service will be recorded each week and posted to the website and Facebook.

LET’S ZOOM

Over the last several weeks the church has used a computer application called Zoom which has enabled us to have meetings and Bible study on-line. We would like to use that application to create some fellowship opportunities. Many of you are in several groups in the church, and we would like to host meetings for you anytime. Contact Jeremy Tritle at jtritle@pinestreet.org or Russell Sullivan at rsullivan@pinestreet.org to arrange a meeting with your friends on Zoom. If you don’t have a computer, there is always a phone option for you to dial in and become part of a meeting.

COFFEE CONNECT! A VI RTUAL COFFEE HOUR

Missing java with your church friends? Plan to attend a virtual, on-line Zoom coffee hour this morning at 11:15 a.m. In addition to a computer, you have to have your own mug and coffee.

Don’t miss this chance to re-connect. The link in Friday’s e-mail will take you to the coffee hour.
