Prelude “Today We All Are Called to Be Disciples”
Heasuk Che, organist
Kingsfold
Call to Worship
Mimi Baruch, lay reader
We gather to be restored and renewed.
Come, with your faith and your doubt.
We respond to the one who claims and calls us.
Come, Christ summons us to draw near.
Let us worship God with joy and thanksgiving!
Hymn #738 “O Master Let Me Walk With Thee”
Julie Pearson, soprano, accompanied by Heasuk Che, pianist.
Maryton
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.
by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong.
far down the future’s broadening way;
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.
Prayer of the Day
Mimi Baruch, lay reader
Prayer of Confession
Rev Dr Jeffrey Beebe
Forgive us when we cannot love our neighbors.
Forgive us when we cannot love ourselves.
You call us to bear fruits of humility, gentleness, and patience.
Forgive us when we choose self-doubt over humility,
quietness over gentleness,
or resignation over patience.
Hear our prayers, God of grace,
and draw us into the unity of your Spirit.
(Silence for Reflection)
Declaration of Forgiveness
The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.
I declare to you, in the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
May the God of mercy, who forgives us all our sins, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the
power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen.
Gloria Patri (Hymn #581)
Judith Spurrell, soprano
Gospel Reading
Mimi Baruch, lay reader

Prayers of the People
Your Son, Jesus Christ, invites all people to follow him and become his disciples.
Touch our hearts, enlighten our minds, and stir our spirit.
Help us daily to take up our cross and follow him; by living his Word
and proclaiming his Good News to those around us.
May our faith in you increase, may our hunger for the Gospel intensify,
and may our parish be strengthened as we learn to love one another as he has loved us.
For this we pray, Amen.
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.
Hymn #724 “O Jesus I Have Promised”
Julie Pearson, soprano, accompanied by Heasuk Che, pianist.
Angel’s Song
be thou forever near me, my Master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway if thou wilt be my guide.
I see the sights that dazzle; the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me, around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer and shield my soul from sin.
above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen, thou guardian of my soul.
that where thou art in glory there shall thy servant be.
And, Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow, my Master and my friend.
Benediction
Rev Dr Jeffrey Beebe
Congregational Response (#306)
Leslie Russo, Lillian Warner, Julie Pearson, Jillian Koenig (flutist), Judith Spurrell, Jody Dutton, and Heasuk Che (organist)
