Living Richly Towards God Order of Service 31 July 2016 Living richly towards God WELCOME TO KNOX Knox Church is a congregation within the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. We aim to create Christian community in which people of all ages, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds and socio-economic situations are included as equally valued participants in our congregational life. We cherish our diversity, offering a safe place of belonging to any who wish to explore their beliefs in an atmosphere promoting discussion, the development of healthy relationships and spiritual growth. We strive to be open to dialogue and shared experiences with people of other faiths. We enjoy worshipping the God made known in Jesus, endeavouring to do so in ways that are relevant to our daily lives, respect the integrity of creation, and make a positive difference to our wider world. A loop system for hearing aids operates at Knox. Toilets are available through the door on the lectern side of the sanctuary. The Call to Worship: We light a candle in the name of Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. JESUS WHO TOLD PARABLES OF MERE THINGS AND GENUINE RICHES; JESUS, WHOSE LIFE WAS GENEROUS AND BEAUTIFUL; JESUS IN WHOSE RICH PRESENCE WE LIVE. Kia noho a Ihowa ki a koutou. God be with you. MA IHOWA KOE E MANAAKI. GOD BLESS YOU. Hymn: Kremser Netherlands folk melody (17th century) 1. Sing praise and thanksgiving, let all creatures living now worship their maker with gladness and song; all glory and honour we bring to God, singing: O praise to the Almighty, sing praise to our God! 2. Our lives of God’s making Christ brings to their waking in darkness we’ve been held in deep, gracious care, now into the light we are called from our sleeping: O praise to the Almighty, sing praise to our God! 3. God, frame our desiring to do your requiring, that unto your glory be all that we do; and here, as we worship, give faith and give healing: O praise to the Almighty, sing praise to our God! Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), tr. Margaret Barclay (b. 1923), adapted by Colin Gibson, then again by Matthew Jack. Prayer of Approach Praise and thanksgiving to the God who gave life to the world. SING PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING! Praise and thanksgiving to the God who painted the beauty of the earth, who scattered the stars across the sky, who gives us only what is good. SING PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING! Praise and thanksgiving to the God who gives daily bread, who lives in the hearts of the generous, who rescues the poor. SING PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING! Praise and thanksgiving to the One we have seen in Jesus, living his life for others, calling us to be sisters and brothers, enabling human beings to love one another. SING PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING! Praise and thanksgiving to the Spirit of God, working patiently with humanity, opening hands, emptying pockets, extending embraces. SING PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING! Yet confession and sorrow TO THE GOD WE HAVE FAILED TO SERVE. Confession and sorrow TO THE GOD WHOSE PEOPLE WE HAVE TURNED AWAY. Confession and sorrow TO THE GOD OF MISERS AND FOOLS. Lord have mercy. CHRIST HAVE MERCY. Lord have mercy. Assurance and Response . In the name of Christ I say to you: You are forgiven and you are free. THANKS BE TO GOD. Prayer of Supplication: Generous God, in whose love and blessing Jesus told his parables of challenge, open our ears to his speaking. As we hear him speak of riches, GIVE US POVERTY OF SPIRIT. As we hear him speak of fools, GIVE US OPENNESS TO WISDOM. As we hear him speak of selfishness, ENABLE US, BY YOUR SPIRIT, TO LIVE RICHLY TOWARDS YOU AND THOSE AROUND US. We pray this in Jesus’ name, and even as he taught us, so together we say: . OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME, YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US TODAY OUR DAILY BREAD. FORGIVE US OUR SINS AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST US. SAVE US FROM THE TIME OF TRIAL AND DELIVER US FROM EVIL. FOR THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY ARE YOURS NOW AND FOR EVER. AMEN. The Passing of the Peace Kia tau tonu te rangimarie o te Ariki ki a koutou. The peace of Christ be with you all. A KI A KOE ANO HOKI; AND ALSO WITH YOU. We exchange a sign of peace with one another. If there are younger ones present A Conversation with the Younger Ones Young People’s Blessing: Young ones, go to your worship with our blessing. TAKE OUR FAITH AND HOPE; MAKE NEW THINGS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN. MAY GOD BLESS AND GROW YOU. AMEN. Young ones are welcome to move through to the Sala del Sol (upstairs in the Knox Centre) for well supervised, faith-based youth activities. The First Lesson: Psalm 49: 1-11 In this is the Word of God. THANKS BE TO GOD. Knox Singers: Magnificat in C Major Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) Gospel Lesson: Luke 12: 13-21 This is the gospel of Christ. PRAISE TO CHRIST THE WORD. Hymn: Slane Irish traditional melody 1. Be now my vision, O God of my heart, nothing surpasses the love you impart - you my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, your presence my light. 2. Be now my wisdom, and be my true word; ever within me, my soul is assured; Mother and Father, you are both to me; now and forever your child I will be. 3. Riches I need not, nor life’s empty praise, you my inheritance, now and always: you and you only are first in my heart, great God, my treasure, may we never part. 4. Sovereign of heaven, my victory won, may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878), alt Benediction and Sung Amen Postlude: Fantasia on ‘A Mighty Fortress’, Movement 4 Jan Zwart (1877-1937) Tea and coffee are served in the Knox Centre Lounge following the morning service Music printed in this order of service is covered under a music copyright licence agreement: LicenSing #604802 Knox Café: Vincent van Gogh, Jesus and Me Jesus, the artist of all artists, “works with the flesh and the spirit to make real men and not statues”. Vincent van Gogh Peter Majendie offers a reflection exploring rejection, loneliness and failure, paralleled within the lives of these two great artists. He explores the life of Vincent van Gogh from the perspective of his spirituality and its relation to its art. As van Gogh struggled with failure and depression, his paintings and letters opened a different window to God, and offers hope to all of us who struggle with somewhat less than successful lives. Pete says: “This presentation will explore the life of Vincent van Gogh from the perspective of his spirituality and its relation to his art. As we follow his life through his paintings and brief quotes from his extensive letters to his brother, a different window to God is opened.

    Luther Brassensemble Luther Brassensemble, är en professionell ensemble med handplockade musiker från bland annat GöteborgsOperan, Göteborg Wind Orchestra och Bohuslän BigBand. Tillsammans spelar vi psalmer och koralfantasier i klassisk possaunenchor (trombonkör) och brassensemble.

Firandet av Martin Luther och det kommande reformationsåret närmar sig med stormsteg, vad är väl bättre än att fra denna höjdpunk med ljuvlig brassmusik? Cirka 500 år efter reformationstiden har vi i Luther Brassensemble satt ihop ett konsertprogram med välkända, folkkära svenska och tyska psalmer från 1500-1600-talet i både traditionell och ny fattning. Vi erbjuder upplyftande brassmusik på högsta nivå. I konserten fnns det möjlighet för textläsning och församlingssång (eventuellt andakt). Vi har hämtat inspiration från våra tyska kollegor i Genesis Brass, och lägger därför med en ljudfl från deras inspelning av psalm #2 – Herren, vår Gud, är en konung (Lobe den Herren, den machtigen Konig). Genesis Brass fnns även att lyssna på via Spotify. Vi är tillgängliga under perioden 1 mars till 9 april, 2 maj till 4 juni och är även tillgängliga för bokningar under hösten. Då vi kommer att turnera med denna produktion behövs ett samarbete gällande konsertdatum från Er och oss. För praktisk information och programförslag se följande sidor. Vi ser mycket fram emot att höra från er. Med Vänliga Hälsningar Bjørn Bjerknæs-Jacobsen Ensembleledare Programförslag 1. Wach auf, mein Herz, und singe!

    MORNING PRAYER THE TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST 9 AUGUST 2020 ‘The Sea of Galilee’, Eugene Delacroix, c. 1850. HOLY TRINITY CATHEDRAL, WANGARATTA PRAYER FOR THE WEEK In the darkness of our world and through the storms of life, O God, you are with your people in the presence of Jesus your Son. Calm our fears and strengthen our faith that we may never doubt his presence among us but proclaim that he is your Son. We ask in the name of the One whom wind and wave obey, the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. HYMN LIGHT OF THE MINDS THAT KNOW HIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqPuqyFCYpw 1 Light of the minds that know him, may Christ be light to mine! My sun in risen splendour, my light of truth divine; my guide in doubt and darkness, my true and living way, my clear light ever shining, my dawn of heaven's day. 2 Life of the souls that love him, may Christ be ours indeed! The living Bread from heaven on whom our spirits feed; who died for love of sinners to bear our guilty load, and make of life's journey a new Emmaus road. 3 Strength of the wills that serve him, may Christ be strength to me, who stilled the storm and tempest, who calmed the tossing sea; his Spirit's power to move me, his will to master mine, his cross to carry daily and conquer in his sign. 4 May it be ours to know him that we may truly love, and loving, fully serve him as serve the saints above; till in that home of glory with fadeless splendour bright, we serve in perfect freedom our strength, our life, our light.

    ORDER OF WORSHIP 20th Sunday after Pentecost October 18, 2020 GATHERING The people gather wherever they may in response to God’s call, offering praise in words of scripture, prayer, and song. The people acknowledge their sinfulness and receive the good news of God’s forgiveness. PRAYER BEFORE WORSHIP A time for quiet preparation before worship Gracious God, I've tried so many things to re-center myself. Please help me to focus anew on the stories of your unending presence in our lives. Even in the midst of all that is going on, I know in my head that you will never leave us. But I need to feel it in my heart, too. Hopefully, by coming to worship I will open myself up to your Spirit. Amen. PRELUDE When in the Hour of Deepest Need JS Bach LIFE AND WORK OF THE CHURCH MOMENT FOR STEWARDSHIP Jeff Bates * CALL TO WORSHIP As we open our hearts in worship to the Lord, sanctify our lives, O Spirit. Set apart this time to be holy and pleasing unto you. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Justify our hearts that we might stand blameless before you, O King. Accept our worship as a living sacrifice, as we emulate the obedience of Christ. Mighty God, Father and Mother, gather us under your wings of protection. Lead us to live courageously. Call us to defend the poor. Inspire us to faith in action. * HYMN 666 O Splendor of God's Glory Bright PUER NOBIS NASCITUR PRAYER OF CONFESSION Lord, your laws are simple and straightforward: love You, love ourselves, love our neighbors, and love the earth.

  • Reformation Lutheran Church “Come and See, Learn and Rejoice, Go and Tell!”
    Reformation Lutheran Church “Come and See, Learn and Rejoice, Go and Tell!” January 2021 ********************************************************************************************************* Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and de- vout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been re- vealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. - Luke 2:25–27 Many people have taken the time to think about their “Bucket List,” that list of things we want to do before we die and meet our maker. Perhaps you have given that some thought already. Maybe your list contains all the places you’d like to travel, for example to Israel or Germany to see Wittenberg for yourself. Or perhaps you want to run a marathon someday or go white water rafting before you con- sider your life to be complete? It’s fun to think about what we would do if we had the time and re- sources. For Simeon, however, there was just one thing he wanted before he died: to see the arrival of the long awaited Messiah of Israel. For Simeon this was no pipe dream! He had the assurance of the Holy Spirit that he would not depart from earth until he looked into the very face of God. Imagine his delight (and the amazement of actually KNOWING) that the infant in Mary’s arms was the one! This baby was the Messiah of Israel! For Simeon this was not just a “day made” but a life made.
