GATHERING MUSIC “Burning”—Music by Ludovico Einaudi Isaac Thomas, piano

WELCOME

*THE PEACE OF CHRIST The peace of Christ be with you all. And also with you. Greet your neighbor with the peace of Christ.

Whether we are old or young, whether we are first-time or longtime worshipers, whether we come full of doubts or confidence, joy or sorrow, in this place we all are family, because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Welcome!

Second Presbyterian Church

We are . . . a family of Christians,

called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit,to share the good news of God’s grace and love,

to care for one another,and to serve Jesus Christ

in our community and throughout the world.

“Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone; chosen of the Lord and precious, binding all the church in one.”

“Those in whom the Spirit comes to live are God's new Temple. They are, individually and corporately, places where heaven and earth meet.” —N. T. Wright

As you leave Second, know that God calls you beyond these walls, to serve Christ and others in your daily life.

CHIMING THE HOUR

PRELUDE “Selection from The Four Seasons”—Music by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) Featuring The Ambrosia Quartet

Simon Lapointe, violin; Heejin Weisbrod, violin; Beverly Kane Baker, viola; Rebecca Gilmore, cello

CALL TO WORSHIP God’s Spirit dwells in us, For we are God’s temple. We belong to Christ, And Christ belongs to God. Praise the Lord!

*HYMN #521 “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”

*CONFESSION OF SIN How foolish we are to think we can hide our failings from you, O God. We often treat our bodies as waste-bins, and not as sanctuaries for your Spirit. We get drunk on the seductions of our society, while merely sipping from your living water. We doze under the tree of temptation, hoping you won't see us and expect us to get up and follow Jesus. Forgive us, loving God. Your grace mends our brokenness, which makes us whole; your compassion removes our sin, which makes us new; your voice speaks tenderly to us, which silences our pride; your love is made human in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who redeems our lives. Amen.

*MUSICAL RESPONSE “Sanctuary” —Words and Music by John Thompson and Randy Scruggs

*WORDS OF GRACE This is the good news: we belong to Christ. He is the One who comes bringing new life and hope to all. Because we belong to Christ, we belong to God. Thanks be to God! Amen.

TIME OF DISCOVERY (See Insert) “I Am the Church” —Words and Music by Donald S. Marsh and Richard K. Avery

I am the church! You are the church! We are the church together! All who follow Jesus, all a round the world! Yes, we’re the church together!

the church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is the people. (Repeat refrain)

We’re many kinds of people, with many kinds of faces, all colors and all ages, too, from all kinds of places. (Repeat refrain)

For those desiring childcare, the nursery is available during the service for children five years of age and younger. In addition, there is a “family room” available at the back of the sanctuary.

CHORAL ANTHEM “My Jesus, I Love Thee” Featuring The Ambrosia Quartet —Words by William Featherston, 1864; Music by Adoniram Gordon, 1876; Arranged by Dan Forrest

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine. For Thee all the follies of sin I resign. My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death, and praise

Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath; And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. In mansions of glory, and endless delight, I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright. I’ll

sing with the glittering crown on my brow, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND 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.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

INVITATION TO THE OFFERING: THE SHARING OF OUR LIVES AND GIFTS

OFFERTORY “Pavane”—Music by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) Featuring The Ambrosia Quartet

*THE DOXOLOGY #965 “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow” —Words by Thomas Ken; Music by Louis Bourgeois

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH  The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,  born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;  he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead;  He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;  from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints;  the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
