St. Luke United Methodist Church

We welcome you to St. Luke UMC. This worship experience is planned, from beginning to end, to assure an opportunity to encounter the presence of God. As we gather to worship our Lord, feel free to greet your neighbors. However, when the Prelude begins, please take your seats and prepare your hearts and minds for worship. Out of courtesy for your brothers and sisters in faith, silence your cell phones so that we can be in a spirit of worship throughout the service. A nursery is available for children, newborn to age 2. Please see an usher or sound tech if you would like to use one of our hearing devices. We believe you will find this worship experience meaningful for your spiritual maturity.

What is Salkehatchie?

The Salkehatchie name comes from a river that flows through the coastal plain of South Carolina, where many of the towns and

neighborhoods we serve are located. Just like the river, Salkehatchie’s service follows a course through time that is

influenced by location, people, circumstances and historical events.

Prelude of Praise I Have Decided to Follow Jesus Koerts

TO WORSHIP GOD AND CONFESS OUR FAITH

Opening Prayer

Father, as we come before You today, we declare that You are God and earnestly we will seek You. Father, it’s our desire to see You in the sanctuary; to behold Your power and Your glory. Father, Your love is greater than life and our lips will glorify You. We will praise You as long as we live and in Your name we will lift up our hands. You have satisfied our souls as with the riches of foods and with singing lips our mouths will give You thanks and praise. In the name of Your Son and our Savior, we pray. Amen

+Praise Set To God be the Glory No. 98

TO SPEAK AND TO LISTEN TO GOD

+Affirmation of Faith “The Apostles’ Creed” No. 881

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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. (universal)*

+Response of Praise: “Gloria Patri” (all sing together)

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! AMEN!

A Moment with the Children

All children up to the age of 10 years old are invited to come forward for Children’s Time. (Following the Children’s Moment, children ages 2K-3rd grade are invited to Children’s Church)

Call to Prayer (all sing together)

Lord, listen to your children praying, Lord, send your Spirit in this place; Lord, listen to your children praying, send us love, send us power, send us grace.

Pastoral Prayer

Chorus (all sing together)

I cast all my cares upon You. I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet. And any time I don't know what to do; I will cast all my cares upon You.

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

TO OFFER OUR TITHES, OFFERINGS AND GIFTS TO GOD

In Celebration of Missions with Salkehatchie Moments

We Worship God with His Tithes and Our Offerings

Offertory Great is the Lord Chancel Choir

+Doxology (all sing together) Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise him all creatures here below. Praise him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Offertory Prayer (in unison)

God of eternity, we bring our gifts to your altar this day, even as we are worn out and glazed over from the endless pursuit of an endless to-do list. We have crammed our lives full of activity and busyness, missing the opportunity we have today to be in your presence, bathe in your love, and open our souls to being filled, renewed, and restored by your presence. Help us to bring our whole being to your altar this morning, that we don’t miss the precious gift that you have offered to us: a relationship through Jesus Christ. In that name that is above all others, we pray. Amen.

Prayer of Illumination (in unison) Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and your Word proclaimed we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen

+Scripture Reading: Luke 10:38-42 Pew Bible NT Page 845 38 Now as they (Jesus and the disciples) went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
