  The Worship of God

  October 25, 2009

The Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost

 

The Prelude                                                                                                    Bethany Braun                                                        

 

The Chiming of the Hour                        

 

The Call to Worship                               How Great Is Our God!                            

 

The Opening Sentence                                                                              Psalm 72: 17-19

 

His name shall endure forever;

His name shall continue as long as the sun

And men shall call Him blessed.

 

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,

Who only does wondrous things

And blessed be His glorious name forever!

 

The Greeting and the Lord’s Prayer                                                              Harvey Wilson

   

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 debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory

Forever.    Amen.

 

The Opening Hymn # 217                                                              Oh, How I Love Jesus                                                                               

 

The Scripture Lesson                                                                                     Luke 10: 17-20                                                                                                 

 

The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”  He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

 

This is the gospel of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

 

The Morning Prayer

                                          (Congregation please stand and join the singing on the repeat)

 

My Jesus,  My Savior,

Lord, there is none --- like You.

All of my days, I want to praise

The wonders of Your might - - y love;

 

My comfort, my shelter,

Tower of refuge and strength,

Let every breath, all that I am

Never cease to wor-ship -You.

 

Shout to the Lord, all the earth, -  let us sing

Power and majesty praise – to the King

Mountains bow down – and the seas – will roar

At the sound –of Your name.

I sing for joy – at the work – of Your hands,

Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand

Nothing compares to the promise I have -  in you.

The Dismissal with Blessing

 

Go forth in the name of the Lord.

This is God’s charge:

To give our allegiance to Jesus Christ

And to love one another as he commanded.

Go in peace to serve the Lord in the name of Christ.

Thanks be to God.  Amen.
