ORDER OF WORSHIP Sunday, June 8, 2025

Pentecost + Please stand as you are able.

Prelude | Wayne Presbyterian Chamber Orchestra | Joseph Kauffman, Director Dimitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Prelude & Gavotte Orchestral Arr: Joseph Kauffman (from Five Pieces for two violins and piano) + Call to Worship If God is like a mother hen, we are under God’s wing.

If God is like a long table, we each have a seat.

If God is like a house, we are safe from the storm.

If God is like a party, we’re invited to dance!

If God is like a sweet melody, our names are the lyrics.

This is God’s house, where all are welcomed, all are loved, all belong.

Let us worship God. + Hymn 289: On Pentecost They Gathered

MUNICH

+ Call to Confession | 1 John 1:8-9 + Prayer of Confession | from Romans 7 Like the Apostle Paul we confess “I do not understand my own actions, for I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.” (Silent Confession) “Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! + Declaration of Forgiveness Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

And we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! + Response of Praise: Glory Be to the Father

GLORIA PATRI

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

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Scripture Reading | Colossians 3:12-17 Anthem | WPCO | Joseph Kauffman, Director Pelleas et Melisande

Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924)

Sermon | “What Are You Wearing Today?” | The Rev. Timothy Pretz Time for Reflection Affirmation of Faith | from The Book of Common Worship This is the good news which we have received, In which we stand, and by which we are saved, if we hold it fast: That Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, That he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, And that he appeared first to the women, then to Peter, and to the Twelve, And then to many faithful witnesses.

We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus Christ is the first and the last, the beginning and the end; He is our Lord and our God. Amen.
