CorPorate Prayer oF ConFession Rev. Scott Mitchell O God, whose will it is that all your children should be one in Christ; we pray for the unity of your Church. Pardon all our pride and our lack of faith, of understanding and of charity, which are the causes of our divisions. Deliver us from narrow-mindedness, from our bitterness, from our prejudices. Save us from considering as normal that which is a scandal to the world and an offense to your love. Teach us to recognize the gifts of grace among all those who call upon you and confess the faith of Jesus Christ our Lord.

anthem Battle Hymn of the Republic arr. Ringwald La Jolla Brass and Chancel Choir Dr. Keith Pedersen, Director

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on.

(Chorus) Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on!

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps.

His Day is marching on. (Chorus)

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me: As He lived to make us holy, let us live to make us free,

While God is marching on. (Chorus)

†oPening hymn #695 My Country ‘Tis of Thee

My country, ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims’ pride,

From every mountainside, Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills;

My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom’s song; Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake;

Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, With freedom’s holy light,

Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King.

“WHERE IS THE HOPE?”saCrament oF hoLy Communion *Gluten free wafers available in the Narthex

†aPostLe’s 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.

†CLosing hymn #679 Eternal Father Strong to Save

Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep, Its own appointed limits keep:

O hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea.

O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain, O’er which our traffic runs amain By mountain pass or valley low: Wherever, Lord, our brethren go, Protect them by Thy guarding hand, From every peril on the land.

O Spirit, whom the Father sent, To spread abroad the firmament: O wind of heaven, by Thy might, Save all who dare the eagle’s flight,

And keep them by Thy watchful care, From every peril in the air.

O Trinity of love and power, Our brethren shield in danger’s hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe’er they go;

Thus evermore shall rise to Thee, Glad praise from air and land and sea.
