The Order for the Worship of God
Faith Presbyterian Church 9:30 a.m., July 25, 2010
Let the first tone of the organ be a call to quiet meditation in which all may become aware of God’s presence, and lift up a prayer for yourself and for Faith Church.
Prelude Pastoral Song
Jean Langlais (France, 1907-1991)
All Glory Be To God On High
J.S. Bach (Germany, 1685-1750)

Welcome and Greeting
Hymn # 253 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Psalter: Psalm 27: 1 - 4 NRSV (read responsively) Lois Wark
1The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh— my adversaries and foes— they shall stumble and fall.
3Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.
4One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.
Prayer for Illumination Lois Wark
First Lesson: Isaiah 9: 2 - 6 NRSV Lois Wark
2The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness— on them light has they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. 4For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. 5For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. 6For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Lector: “This is the Word of God.”
Congregation: “Thanks be to God for His Word.”
Special Music The Goodrich’s
Children’s Sermon
Hymn # 461 Beautiful Savior
Second Lesson: John 12: 44 – 50 NRSV
44Then Jesus cried aloud: “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. 47I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge, 49for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. 50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”
Sermon “Light and Life” Nancy Dunn
Gathering of Tithes and Offerings
Offertory O God, Do Not In Silence Stand
(see words in gray hymnal, p. 83) Wilbur Held
Response
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore his praises sing.
Alleluia, alleluia! Praise the everlasting king!

Hymn # 279 O Word of God Incarnate
Benediction
Postlude Prelude In Classic Style Gordon Young
Worship
…is the quickening of conscience by God’s holiness;
the nourishment of mind with His truth;
the purifying of imagination by His beauty;
the opening of the heart to His love;
the surrender of the will to His purpose;
and all of this gathered up in adoration—
the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable, and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.” -William Temple
Welcome
To all who are weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are idle and look for service; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whosoever will come--this church opens wide her doors and offers her welcome in the name of Jesus Christ her Lord.
