*PRAYER OF THE DAY (Unison) Travis Johnson Almighty God, we pray for your blessing on the church in this place. Here may the faithful find salvation, and the careless be awakened. Here may the doubting find faith, and the anxious be encouraged. Here may the tempted find help, and the sorrowful comfort. Here may the weary find rest, and the strong be renewed. Here may the aged find consolation, and the young be inspired; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY8.7.8.7.8.7

(alternate tune: REGENT SQUARE)

Although this ancient text has often been used at church dedications, the first stanza clearly refers to thepeople of God and the second to the place where they meet. The stately and soaring tune is aptly named forthe edifice where the composer served as organist and is buried.

Guitar chords do not correspond with keyboard harmony.

*CALL TO CONFESSION

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison) Creator God, you love us, but we have not loved you. You call, but we have not listened. We

walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped in our own concerns. We condone evil,

prejudice, warfare, and greed. God of grace, help us to admit our sin, so that as you come to

us in mercy, we may repent, turn to you, and receive forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our

redeemer. (silent confession)

*ASSURANCE OF PARDON

*PASSING OF THE PEACE Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. To this peace we are called as members of a single body.

The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.

*HYMN OF RESPONSE 582 Glory to God, Whose Goodness Shines on Me GLORY TO GOD (Vasile)

Glory to God, whose goodness shines on me, and to the Son, whose grace has pardoned me,

and to the Spirit, whose love has set me free. As it was in the beginning,

is now and ever shall be. Amen.

We Proclaim God’s Word DISCOVERY TIME Sean Smith

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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

ANTHEM I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light Kathleen Thomerson

Sanctuary Singers arr. Paul Manz I want to walk as a child of the light. I want to follow Jesus. God set the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus. In

him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord

Jesus. I want to see the brightness of God. I want to look at Jesus. Clear Sun of righteousness, shine on my path, and show me the way

to the Father. I’m looking for the coming of Christ. I want to be with Jesus. When we have run with patience the race, we shall know

the joy of Jesus.

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION

SCRIPTURE READING Genesis 45:1-15 (pg. 42)

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

SOLO Any Dream Will Do Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice

Andrew Keeler, tenor from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain to see for certain what I thought I knew. Far, far away, someone was weeping, but the world

was sleeping. Any dream will do. I wore my coat, with golden lining, bright colours shining, wonderful and new. And in the east, the

dawn was breaking, and the world was waking. Any dream will do. A crash of drums, a flash of light—my golden coat flew out of

sight. The colors faded into darkness. I was left alone. May I return to the beginning. The light is dimming, and the dream is, too. The

world and I, we are still waiting, still hesitating. Any dream will do.

SCRIPTURE READING Matthew 15:21-28 (pg. 17)

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

SERMON The Canaanite Woman Rev. John C. McKinnon

We Respond to God’s Word *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.

This setting expands and enhances the thematic inclusiveness of an early 20th-century text by adapting themelody of a traditional spiritual to carry these words. This 1940 pairing marked the first use of AfricanAmerican musical material in a mainline North American hymnal.

LAUDA ANIMA8.7.8.7.8.7

The images of light in this text are drawn from the ancient Christian vesper hymn Phos hilaron, which datesfrom at least the 3rd century. (For other versions, see nos. 671 and 672.) That rather brief original hymn isaugmented here in the third stanza by language based on the Sanctus.

The Special Offerings of the PC(USA) are celebrations of specific ways God has been made known to us. Each is connected to a season of the church year and mandated by the General Assembly to help the whole Church join together in response to God’s grace. They represent the largest, collective way Presbyterians come together to work for a better world. The Offerings actively engage congregations in ministries of compassion, justice, hunger, Christian formation, education, peacemaking and global witness.

Join other congregations in making an impact on the world. Let’s be the church, together.
