Silence for Personal reflection and repentance
O Almighty God, merciful Father,
C: I, a poor sinner, confess to You all my sins—those sins that
have offended You and those sins that have offended others.
All my sins Lord deserve Your punishment. This day I repent of
those sins and pray that, of Your boundless mercy and for the

complete sacrifice for my sins, You would be gracious and
merciful to me, a poor sinful being.

ordained servant of the Word, announce the grace of God unto
all of you, and in the stead and by the command of my Lord Jesus
Christ I forgive you all of your sins in the name of the Father, and
The Season of Pentecost August 17, 2014
The season of Pentecost is celebrating from Sunday to Sunday the life-giving words and works of Christ.
Today the color on the altar and on the banners is green. Green is the color of abiding life, nourishment, and rest.
What you see in church:
Processional Cross: These
crosses have been used since the 4th
century. They signal the focus of our worship and the presence of
Christ as we gather and depart.
The Pulpit:
This symbolizes the authority of the
church to preach the Word of God.
Altar Candles: Lit candles are a symbol of Christ being the light of the world. In the worship service
Christ comes to us in both the Word
and in the sacraments.

The banners on the front walls share the color of the day and
often depict other symbols

season and/or the gifts of God.

the liturgies of the church,
prayers (including the prayers of the
day), and special services
that the presiding
minister may use.

scripture. Readings are
appointed to be read each week. The

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION DISCIPLESHIP Grow in Faith and Love
WALK AND PRAY! Many wonderful and exciting ministries will be taking place on the campus of King of Glory this fall. We will have the opportunity to ask God to bless each of those ministries as we participate in A Prayer Walk on Sunday, August 31, before, between, or after the worship services. As Christians, we believe in the power of prayer. We have a God who leans in and
listens when we speak to Him. What better way to encourage the faith of our children (of every age!) than to ask the Holy Spirit to bless the campus and the people of King of Glory this year?
Watch for more information on A Prayer Walk and plan to be a part of this special event.

The Story: Beginning in September, the congregation will come together for a joint
project to increase biblical literacy and receive biblical blessing by reading the biblical text of both the Old and New Testaments arranged chronologically in 31 chapters.
Called The Story, this Bible will be presented as the basic text in preparation for sermons, worship themes and Bible Studies each week. The Story will touch every aspect of our congregational life over this next ministry year. Sunday School, Adult Education, Small Groups, Youth Ministry, and even our preschool religion time will involve and share The Story.
We will journey together and discover--for the first time or once again in a new way--how our story is woven into God’s story. We will explore how God’s story touches our lives so that in turn we may live and share His story.
Here is how it works:
Between now and September 14 you are invited to purchase The Story. Harry Grimes serves as our point of contact for this opportunity. An order guide has been prepared and sent through our e-blast. You may also pick one up at the Welcome Center.
Order forms and payment may be submitted at The Story box at the Welcome Center or given to Harry Grimes.
We are asking you to pre-order, and books will then be available for pick-up on Sunday, August 24, 31, and September 7.
Please do not let the cost of the books hinder you from taking this journey with us. If cost is a concern, please speak with Pastor Harmon, Pastor Hengst, or Tara Wolf.
We are asking the entire congregation to make a commitment to be part of this journey. When you pick up The Story you will be invited to place your name on a card that will be added The Story wall: a witness to all who gather of who is embarking on this journey.
11
If you have already purchased The Story, we invite you to add your names to the wall on Sunday August 24, 31 and September 7.
Together, we begin reading on the evening of Sunday, September 14. You will have a whole week to read one chapter of The Story. Take a look at how the flow of each week will proceed:
Sunday evening, begin reading the chapter for the week.
Wednesday Bible Studies (9:30AM and 6:30PM) will focus on the chapter you are reading.
Sunday Morning, the chapter comes to a close. When you come to worship, the sermon will focus on what you have read as we ask the question: How does God’s story apply to your story?
Sunday Morning Education focuses on digging deeper into some of the accounts and revealing deeper truths about what you have read.
Sunday Evening, begin reading the chapter for the coming week to continue the process.
Sunday Evening-->Wednesday Study-->Sunday Morning-->Sunday Evening
This is a great opportunity for each person in our community (Connect). This is a great opportunity for your neighbors and friends (Live). Think what a great blessing it will be to receive an in-depth understanding of the Word of God and how our story is woven into His (Grow).
