I remember a quote I heard years ago, “Put first things first and you will get second things thrown in; however, put second things first and you will lose both first and second things.” Consecration Sunday is about putting first things first. It is about setting our priorities around what God desires and not the desires of the surrounding culture. If we do that, we create HOPE for a broken world.

We practice consecration because in the Old Testament, when the Children of Israel wanted to walk with God, they would first consecrate themselves. They would make or remake a vow/covenant to do certain things in response to God’s loving action. They would hold themselves accountable to “walking” with God in the future. They believed if they did that, God would bless them with His presence thus creating His Kingdom on earth. We believe the same thing and count on God to give us His presence. Therefore, we consecrate our time, our money, our skills, our abilities, and everything that makes us who we are. We want to set these aside for God to bless and use for His glory.

Though consecration is a spiritual matter of the heart, there is also a practical matter to this endeavor. The Commitment Card is an aid to help St. Paul plan accordingly. Financial pledges are important for our planning, but they are only a fraction of what God desires of us. God is concerned with our entire beings. God wants everything that we are to be committed to Him for the redemption of the world.

Consecration Sunday is an exciting day for St. Paul. It is a day when we covenant with God to make HOPE LIVE HERE. I invite you to open your heart to God, to commit to the future of St. Paul, and to celebrate His goodness to us.

Consecration Sunday

The Church Gathers for Worship (Please take this moment to silence your mobile devices.)

The Choral Call to Worship: “Be Joyful”

The Parish Concerns & Announcements

The Chiming of the Hour

The Flame Comes to the Altar

The Preludes:

(8:30) “O Worship the King”by Michael Burkhardt

(10:55) Prelude on “Lord, I Want to Be a Christian”by Binks

*The Hymn of Celebration: “Take Time to Be Holy”No. 395

*The Minister: “Let Us Unite in the Historic Confession of the Christian Church”

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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

*The Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

The Call to Prayer

Take this moment to prepare to speak to the One who is more focused upon our hearts than upon our words. One who is more committed to us and our soul’s well being than we are to our body’s comforts and pleasures. One who has shown us by the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ the seriousness with which He makes our appointment. The only One who loves us just because His love is greater than our sin. Free yourself in these moments from your fear-filled secrets by prayerfully confessing them in the presence of our Heavenly Father.

The Pastoral PrayerRev. John Fugh, Jr.

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*The Hymn of Preparation: “Jesus Calls Us”No. 398

The Minister: “Let Us Worship God with His Tithes and Our Offerings”

The Offertory Prayer

The Offertory: Pastoral Dance on “Morning Has Broken”by Andrew Clarke

*The Doxology

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below:

praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

*The Scripture Lesson: Matthew 6:10Pew Bible page 787

Minister: The Word of God for the People of God.

Pastor Wayland C. Conner will give the sermon Reception to follow (Nursery provided)

As Thanksgiving approaches, we should all realize how fortunate we are, and how, regretfully, not everyone is as fortunate. This is the reason that the St. Paul UMC congregation helped to establish the Wynnton Neighborhood Network. All offerings collected help those who are in need in our community buy food and pay utility bills during the holiday season and throughout the year. If you are unable to attend the service, please consider sending a donation. Thank you for your continued support of WNN!
