Opening Prayer
Gathering O Lord, Hear My Prayer
O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
When I call, answer me.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
Come and listen to me.
Call to Worship (Psalm 8)
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
all flocks and herds and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Opening Hymn #285 God, You Spin the Whirling Planets
Prayer of Confession
God of perfect love,
you continually bring forth life, transforming sadness to joy,
and despair to hope We are weak, but you are strong.
Our ways are flawed, but your ways are true.
We are seldom right, but you are never wrong.
Forgive us, redeem us, transform us.
Take away the sin that burdens us,
and restore us to the people you would have us be,
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon

Anthem Be Joyful in the Lord Robert J Powell
Karen Young, clarinet
Lift every voice and sing a song,
a song of praise to the Lord.
The Lord who made the heaven
and earth is God of all creation.
Sing to the Lord: we praise Your name.
Sing to the Lord: we praise Your holy name.
Let heaven rejoice; O earth be glad,
and praise Your holy name.
Come, let us worship and fall down,
and kneel before our Maker;
You are the Lord, the Lord our God,
and we are the sheep of Your pasture.
Praise God the Lord,
praise God the Lord;
be joyful in the Lord and
come before God's presence with a song.
Lift every voice and sing a song,
a song of praise to the Lord.
The Lord who made the heaven
and earth is God of all creation.
Sing to the Lord: we praise Your name.
Sing to the Lord: we praise Your holy name.
Let heaven rejoice; O earth be glad,
and praise Your holy name.
We praise Your holy name.
Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:18-20
Sermon: "Wonder and Worship"
Apostles’ Creed (Traditional)- Page 14 in Blue Hymnal
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.
