divine, Your power let me see.”

P: Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Silent Prayer of Confession

Sung Response & Assurance of Pardon

“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”

Glory to the Father

“Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

An Affirmation of Faith (unison)

This is the good news which we received, in which we stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen. 

Sharing of Joys and Concerns

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. Amen.”

Communion

“Come to the table of mercy, prepared with the wine and the bread; all who are hungry and thirsty, come and your souls will be fed. Come at the Lord’s invitation; receive from his nail-scarred hand. Eat of the bread of salvation, drink of the blood of the Lamb.”

The Peace

L    God sent the world his only Son. Since God loved us so much,
we too should love one another.

P:   Let us love one another, since love comes from God.

L:   The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

P:   (to each other) The Peace of Christ be with you.

Hymn 589 Here I Am, Lord

Benediction

Sung Response

May the Lord, Mighty God, bless and keep you forever; Grant you peace, perfect peace, courage in every endeavor. Lift your eyes and see his face, and his love forever. May the Lord, risen Lord, bless and keep you forever.

Want to Give?

So, there are many ways to give to a church! You can give time, energy, wisdom, talent, leadership and even resources.

This church is excited to be the beneficiary of all kinds of gifts. People who can crochet, folks who can lead children, some who are remarkable people of prayer, and still others God has blessed with the ability to make financial gifts large and small.

Because when we all give, we as a church make a huge difference in remarkable ways.

Almost all of us also are able to give financially. Some put money in the plate each week, others use checks. Some use the church envelopes, and some prefer to go online and give at Tithe.ly.

At Tithe.ly you can give by credit or debit card, weekly, monthly, or just once. You can set up reoccurring giving. You can cover the fees for the church if you like. And you can at any time download a receipt.

You can also set up an electronic check payment through Tithe.ly! It’s a way to give online and save the hassle of writing and mailing a check. The process is called an ACH (Automated Clearing House Network) so you can give from your checking account on the day of the month you choose.

Whatever you choose to do, we want you to understand how much we appreciate your support, Because of you, we are “Making a Difference, in Jesus Name”!

From the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund - September

·       Symptoms of ovarian cancer can be vague and not always gynecologic, such as:

·       A swollen or bloated abdomen or increased girth

·       Persistent pressure or pain in the abdomen or pelvis

·       Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly

·       Urinary concerns, such as urgency or frequency

·       Change in bowel habits with constipation and/or diarrhea

o   Any woman may have these symptoms for reasons not related to ovarian cancer. But if these symptoms are new and unusual, and persist for more than two weeks, you should see a doctor and ask about ovarian cancer. Each year 200,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 125,000 women die from this disease.  The earlier the diagnosis, the better the prognosis.

Sunday of Service

On Sunday, September 15, all of us who are able are invited to help out in our community with a morning of volunteering.

The plan is to meet at 8:30am for a continental breakfast in our Café (hard rolls and bagels) get our volunteering assignments, participate in a short worship experience, and then head out to “make a difference” in our community at 9:00am.

We do this both to show the love of God to our neighbors, and to honor the sacrifices made on 9/11, by helping others who need a helping hand.

Typically, we rake lawns, put away summer lawn furniture, plants bulbs, and other small tasks that take about an hour.

If you are willing to help, you can add your name and contact info to the sign-up sheet at the back of the sanctuary!

Or, if you are aware of a neighbor, perhaps a senior, who needs help, you can take them a application for help and then get it back to the church office by Thursday, September 12 at 2:00pm!
