Call to Worship

O Lord, you search us and know us;

we praise you, O God, our Maker.

*Prayer of Confession

Sovereign God,

we confess that we have not turned away from sin.

We follow the advice of the wicked

and scoff at those who do good.

We make plans we cannot complete

and promises we will not fulfill.

Forgive us, God of grace.

Refresh and renew our hearts,

so we may seek your will

and do all the good we can;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(prayer continues)

First Scripture Reading Luke 14:25-33

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, O Christ.

Psalm 139 Dr. Angela Batey, cantor Hopson

You know when I rise up; you know when I rest; you read my thoughts from far away.

You watch over each step; you know when I sleep; you are acquainted with all my ways. (R)

Even before a word is on my lips, you know what is in my heart.

You are before me and behind me, and all around me; you lay your hand upon me. (R)

Every part of me, O Lord, you created; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I will praise you for the wonder of my being, for the wonder of all you have made. (R)

Lord, you know me through and through; you saw me before I was born;

My days were recorded in your book even before my days were to come. (R)

How dear to me are your thoughts, O God; I could never count them.

I could not count them any more than I could count the sand,

and if I could, you would still be with me. (R)

Second Scripture Reading Jeremiah 18:1-11

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

~The Response~

*Hymn Have Thine Own Way, Lord Pollard/Stebbins

(see printed version on last page)

Anthem (11:00) He Leadeth Me Benjamin Wegner

Chancel Choir

He leadeth me, O blessed thought. O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whate’er I do,

where’re I be, still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom, by

waters calm, o’er troubled sea, still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain: He leadeth me, by his own hand he leadeth me.

His faithful follower I would be, for by his hand he leadeth me.

Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine, nor ever murmur nor repine, content with whatever

lot I see, since ‘tis my God that leadeth me. Refrain

And when my task on earth is done, when by thy grace the victory’s won,

e’en death’s cold wave I will not flee, since God through Jordan leadeth me. Refrain

*Congregational Response #358 Help Us Accept Each Other Baronita

Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;

Teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace.

Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe

We are ourselves accepted and meant to love and live.
