PRECEs Mark SchweizerO Lord, open Thou our lips: And our mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. O God, make haste to save us: O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Praise ye the Lord. The Lord’s name be praised.

PRAyER oF CoNFEssIoN (spoken in unison) Eternal God, You are the power behind all minds, all ability to think and reason, all understanding of the truth. Eternal God, You are the power of the cross of Christ, the victor over death, the source of unconquerable love. We worship and adore You. Yet, we have sinned, without considering how much You love us. You know when we are indifferent to Your Word, and how often we forget to pray; and the times we come unwillingly before You. You know when we are untruthful and when we think evil of others. You see our anger and unfairness. You long to forgive us. Forgive us, and make us clean, so that we can obey Your call to take up Your cross and follow You. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Order of WorshipThe service of worship begins with the music of the prelude.

Through its power and brilliance, may you feel the majesty and glory of God; in its quietness, His peace.

(Spoken aloud by a pastor:) These things do I remember and my heart is grieved!How the arrogant have devoured our people!Who would believe that in our day there would be no interventionFor the eleven slaughtered from our holy community?That Shabbat morning was like every ShabbatThe twenty early-risers from the three shulsCame to read Parshat Vayera from the TorahAnd they did not know nor could they see in the reflection of

God’s mystery,That the portion would reveal what would happen to them.

(To be read silently:)And they read:Abraham rose early and brought his servant ladsAnd his only son who he lovedThey went to Mount Moriah togetherHis son Isaac by his side and two lads behindThey walked three days in silence.They went in hushed voices for nothing occurred to them.Finally they arrived at MoriahAnd there God tested AbrahamAnd Abraham let the youths rest at the bottom of the hill.God said to Abraham: Ascend to me on the hill and I will test

you there.

And they saw:And Abraham roseHe ascended the mountain of God, the hill of MoriahAnd a cloud covered the mountain and God called to him saying:Thus will you say to the house of Jacob and thus will you tell thehouse of Israel: You will be holy for I am holyAnd everyone who wishes to enter my covenant and visit my

SanctuaryThat time when the many will come to sanctify my Holy Name

in publicAnd to the living God they will callAnd unto the Sanctity of Life and of Love that is implanted in

every heartAnd then the group returned, Abraham leading,And they walked separately to their homesAnd they were silent all of them in reaction to the frightful

vision their eyes saw.

And thus they heard from behind the Veil of Mystery:And if you ask in your bitterness, “This is Torah and this is its

reward?”“My answer is known:It has been decreed . . .Don’t dwell too much on what separates You from MeWhat occurred in our Holy Sanctuary that day

‘Eileh Ezkarah for Pittsburgh’· · · · · · · · · · By Rabbi Jonathan Perlman · · · · · · · · · ·

As the enemy came to tread upon our holy spaceHis wielding sword to break apart our memories from that placeThe sanctified recalled a few that remained —Among some their faces turned to one another before

“Kaddish d’Rabbanan”Among some their faces turned toward the door to welcome

new facesAmong some they quickly assisted their friends in findingtheir place in the SiddurAmong some those engaged in Torah StudyAnd among some who were in the kitchen preparing the next

meal.

And to the eleven, God spoke in a whisper“The time has arrived to sanctify My Name in public.“And I know you did not ask for this.” Even so, they would be

rememberedand looked upon as personally bound to the Altar as one united.

For in the future their children and congregations would remember

That we are Sanctifiers of Life who come to liveFor we arose, we stood as your followers in your pathFor we remembered faith and friendship here toward your light.

(Spoken aloud by a pastor:)We buried our bodies.And upon them we weptAnd even so, this did not break us.Nonetheless we were steadfast in our placeAnd we continued to stand.

And so, our Father, our King, act for the sake of those who were slaughtered for your holy name.

And act for the babies and children and for all the people of your faith.

Remember us, our King, for we keep You in mind.Help us, our King, for we prayed to You.Save us, our Creator, for our eyes are upon you.

As long as this breath is within usWe ponder the world you created for usAnd evening and morning, each and every day.

(Spoken aloud by all:)We gather and we cry out as one:Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

Written by Rabbi Jonathan Perlman in Hebrew and in English with assistance of Tamar Elad-Applebaum, Martin Cohen,

and Tovi Admon.

Mission Partner Spotlight

Our mission partner Urban Mosaic is working to eradicate injustice, poverty, and spiritual emptiness in the urban poor communities of the Chimalhuacan region of Mexico City. Founded in 2005, Urban Mosaic, led by Rev. Jean-Luc Krieg, has planted several house churches, is training and accompanying local pastors in holistic ministry, leading evangelistic Bible studies, training emerging youth leaders, and facilitating the growth of a new organization of residents who are organizing around community issues.

Shadyside Presbyterian Church members visited this ministry in 2009 and have committed to support their healthcare initiative, called ProSalud. Since the initial commitment of Shadyside’s International Partnerships Mission Action Community (MAC), ten teams have traveled to the Chimalhuacan region, providing construction, educational, and medical services to several urban poor communities in central Mexico.

Our most recent project with Urban Mosaic involves a major financial commitment over three consecutive years to develop CentroRenovar, a spiritual retreat center in the mountains northeast of Mexico City. In March 2017, two separate teams traveled to Chimalhuacan to aid in the construction of this renewal center, which will provide support for local pastors, missionaries, volunteers, and future mission teams.

For more information about Urban Mosaic, visit www.urbanmosaic.net. To join the efforts of the International Partnerships MAC, contact the Reverend Todd E. Leach, Associate Pastor for Missions.

Remembering loved ones: November 3 – Christians throughout the world celebrate All Saints’ Day in honor of all the saints, both known and unknown. In most Protestant churches, it is celebrated on the first Sunday of November. Protestants regard all Christians, both past and present, as saints. As we solemnly remember all those who have died in the past year, we also focus on Christ’s victory over death. While the festival acknowledges the reality of death, we emphasize our hope in the Resurrection and our place in the “communion of saints.”

• During the All Saints’ Sunday morning service at 11:00 a.m., we will remember those members of Shadyside Presbyterian Church who have gone on to the Church Triumphant in the past calendar year.

(Nursery care is available. Families are encouraged to eat together; then, children may move to the Nursery during the presentation.)
