Choral Call to Worship In This Place

Sanctuary Choir Section Leaders; Dr. Michelle Louer, conductor In this place I have been made new; I have been gifted jewels beyond price.

In this place greater dreams are given.

I am made everlasting.

You give the strength for me to hold, You are the hope that shines like gold.

In this place I am new.

In this place I am true.

In this place I am light, In this place, in Your sight I am made everlasting.

I will fly with angels to this place And be made everlasting.

Will Todd (b. 1970)

In Your love, starting and ending; I will be carried softly to heaven.

In Your love I am given beauty.

I am made everlasting.

One:

Sing praises to God,

give thanks for God’s name.

For God clothes us with strength and joy

All:

God’s mercies are everlasting.

They are new every morning.

Great is God’s faithfulness.

Invitation to Confession Prayer of Confession Trusting you does not always come easy when each day we are faced with the ugliness of the world.

We do not believe that love conquers fear.

We are not convinced that power comes through weakness.

We cannot conceive how you could heal us.

Forgive our lack of faith, O God, and renew our trust in you, for we would be disciples of Jesus, in whose name we pray. (Silent Prayer) Assurance of God’s Grace * Response of Praise

Psalm 130 Out from the Deep

Debbie Wacker (p. 562) attr. Thomas Tallis (c. 1505-1585)

Out from the deep I call to thee: O Lord, hear my invocation.

Thine ears bow down; incline to me and hear my lamentation.

For if thou wilt our sins behold, that we have done from time to tide.

O Lord, who then dare be so bold As in Thy sight for to abide.

Text: Psalm 130 (paraphrase)

Sermon

A Scripture Sandwich “He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.’”

(Mark 5:34)

Moment of Silent Meditation

We Give Thanks to God * Affirmation of Faith A Brief Statement of Faith

Rev. Michael M. Samson

We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel.

Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world.

God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. Amen.

Prayers of the People and 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 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.
