Sunday, August 09, 2026 Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Prelude | Michelle Finisdore, handbells | Ryan Fleming, piano Arranged by Linda R. Lamb Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing + Call to Worship Come, sing and dance before the Lord.

Praise God with the sound of music and dancing!

Let every soul sing God’s praises!

Let the mountains tremble and the seas roar!

Praise the King of glory who guides our lives.

Praise the Lord of hosts who watches over us. + Hymn 641: When in Our Music God is Glorified

ENGELBERG

+ Call to Confession + Prayer of Confession Holy God, Lord of life, hear our prayer: Forgive us when we follow those paths that do not lead to life, but instead lead to violence, hate, or fear; paths that lead to dread and death.

Forgive us when we forget that you offer us life: Life that is abundant and eternal, life that began at the creation of all things.

Forgive us, turn us to the right path, and let your love and grace flow over us and the world.

We pray in Jesus’ name and for his sake. Amen. + Declaration of Forgiveness Happy are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

Happy are those to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, Thanks be to God!

+ Response of Praise

GLORIA PATRI (Greatorex)

+ Passing of the Peace The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.

Gumma Sermon | “When You Look in the Mirror” | The Rev. Ryan Balsan Time for Reflection + Affirmation of Faith | The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe 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, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Continued from previous page.

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 Anthem | Summer Chancel Choir Take My Life

Craig Courtney, composer (b. 1954)

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee; Take my voice and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold; Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my will and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine: Take my heart it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne.

-Frances R. Havergal, 1874 + Doxology (Hymn 606) and Prayer of Dedication

Orison | Summer Chancel Choir Come and Fill Our Hearts

Jacques Berthier (1923-1994)

Prayers of the People & 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.

+ Hymn 299: Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim
