The sayings in the book of Proverbs are like a parent passing down life lessons to a child. Wisdom doesn’t come from a guru on a mountain, but from the community. Wisdom is passed down from parents to children, and grows roots through the interactions of God’s people.

PRELUDE | Ornament of Grace Bernard Sanders, composer | Chris Widomski, soprano saxophone and

Dr. Jonathan Gregoire, organist *CALL TO WORSHIP The spirit of God calls us from many places; some of us come from busy homes with many people some of us live alone.

We are a part of the family.

This week has been different for each of us; some of us have had happy news we want to celebrate some of us have faced grief and need to cry.

We are members of God’s family.

Yet we all come to this same place; all of us seeking God’s presence in our lives all of us seeking God’s presence with each other.

Together we become God’s family.

Let us worship God! *OPENING HYMN | For the Beauty of the Earth 92 | Dix For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies; Refrain: Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light; (Refrain) For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind’s delight, for the mystic harmony linking sense to sound and sight; (Refrain) For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild; (Refrain) For thy church, that evermore lifteth holy hands above, offering up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love; (Refrain) For thyself, best Gift Divine, to the world so freely given, for that great, great love of thine, peace on earth, and joy in heaven; (Refrain)

*Please rise in body or spirit.

*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.

OFFERTORY | I’m Goin’ Up a Yonder Walter Hawkins, composer | Salt and Light If anybody asks you where I’m goin’, where I’m goin’ soon, So if you wanna know where I’m goin’, where I’m goin’ real soon.

I’m goin’ up a yonder, I’m goin’ up a yonder to be with my Lord.

If I can take the pain, the heartache that it brings, there’s comfort that in knowing I’ll soon be home.

If God gives me grace, I’ll run this race and soon I’ll see my Savior face to face.

INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP *CLOSING HYMN | Lord, Speak to Me 463 | Canonbury Lord, speak to me, that I may speak in living echoes of thy tone; as thou has sought, so let me seek thine erring children lost and lone.

O strengthen me, that while I stand firm on the rock, and strong in thee, I may stretch out a loving hand to wrestlers with the troubled sea.

O teach me, Lord, that I may teach the precious things thou dost impart; and wing my words, that they may reach the hidden depths of many a heart.

O fill me with thy fullness, Lord, until my very heart o’erflow in kindling thought and glowing word, thy love to tell, thy praise to show.

O use me, Lord, use even me, just as thou wilt, and when, and where, until thy blessed face I see, thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share. *BENEDICTION POSTLUDE | Grand Choeur Theodore Dubois, composer | Dr. Jonathan Gregoire, organist
