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. If you must leave the sanctuary for whatever reason, the service is projected across the hall in the Conference Room.

TO WORSHIP GOD AND CONFESS OUR FAITH

+Call to Worship and Opening Prayer

L: Gather this day in silence and hope. P: We wait for God’s word for us. L: Let your hearts and spirits be open. P: God is our strength and salvation. L: Wait patiently for the Lord. P: With willing hearts and spirits we wait for the Lord.

Prayer: O God, you are our light and our salvation. Living in your presence, we have nothing to fear. Open our hearts to your word this day. As we hear the call to discipleship, make us ready to follow Jesus on whatever path he leads us. Cast aside our fears and doubts, and teach us to trust wholly in you. For we ask this in Jesus’ name, AMEN.

+Praise Set Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee No. 89

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

We Worship God with His Tithes and Our Offerings

Offertory As the Deer 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 infinite grace and patience, we dedicate to you the gifts we offer, while we remember and confess that we have not always been wise in how we’ve used the resources you have entrusted to us. We have bought into the thought that in accumulating money and possessions, we can assure ourselves of living comfortable lives. In doing so, we begin to trust more in ourselves than in you. Remind us as we ask you to bless what we give, that we are in fact the ones blessed in the giving and in the trusting. In the name of Jesus, our Savior, who trusted completely. 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: Colossians 3:10-17 Pew Bible NT Page 958

(Since you have put on the new nature of Christ) and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. 11 In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all! 12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Leader: The Word of God for the people of God

Response: Thanks be to God

A Service of Holy Communion No. 12

+Response to the Message Fill My Cup Lord No. 641

Fill my cup, Lord; I lift it up Lord; Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more. Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.

+Benediction

Place your hand in the hand of God. Go forth into this world in complete assurance of God’s presence and love. Bring hope, healing, peace, and patience to all whom you meet. Go forth knowing the grace, mercy, and peace of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – be with you now and forever. Amen
