Fourth Sunday After Pentecost FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH 109 West Third Avenue, Warren, Pennsylvania Phone: (814) 723-6450 Fax: (814) 723-0935 Email Office: [email protected] Website: www.flcwarren.com The Rev. Jeffrey B. Ewing, Pastor [email protected] Jack Hemink, Director of Music Julie Baughman, accompanist Cheri Kellogg, Director of Children, Youth and Family “Welcome to First Lutheran Church! All are accepted and affirmed just as we are, with all our differences and gifts – unique children of God. No matter your race, ethnicity, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental abilities, social or economic status, we have a place for you. As part of the whole complex, colorful spectrum of God’s creation in all its diversity we are all one in Christ!” August 29, 2021 Setting X Jesus protests against human customs being given the weight of divine law, while the essence of God’s law is ignored. True uncleanness comes not from external things, but from the intentions of the human heart. Last week Jesus told us “the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life” (John 6:63). Now James says God has given us birth by the word of truth. We who were washed in the word when we were born in the font return to it every Sunday to ask God to create in us clean hearts. UPDATED PROTOCOLS FOR IN-PERSON WORSHIP PLEASE REMEMBER TO SELF-CHECK BEFORE COMING TO CHURCH TO SEE IF YOU ARE HEALTHY ENOUGH TO BE IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHERS. As you know, your church council has been keeping a close watch on where we stand regarding the COVID crisis. Because of the increased numbers of corona cases in Warren County, a special council meeting was called to discuss what, if any, changes in our protocols should look like. Knowing that masks and distance help ensure to lower chances of contracting the virus, and in an effort to keep everyone as safe as possible, the following changes have been instituted: 1. Regardless of your vaccination status, beginning on Sunday, August 29th masks will be required to be worn upon entering the building and during the entire worship service (even while singing). Bring a mask with you when you come to the church for a meeting or for a service. Masks will be available for those who need them. 2. We have also labeled every other pew to be used for the “early” and “late” services. 3. We encourage you to make use of the sanitizer available in the narthex. 4. An offering tray will be set up at the middle doors as you enter the sanctuary. We are so grateful for your support of the work we do in the Lord’s name through First Lutheran. 5. The Peace will again be shared in non-physical ways – peace sign, bowing, etc… 6. We will still celebrate communion by coming forward. Wear your mask until you receive the host and replace your mask as you return to your seat. Please remember to keep your distance as you come forward. 7. As always, if you are feeling unwell or are more comfortable worshiping at home, you can join us online for worship via our Facebook page. 2 GATHERING_______________________________ PRELUDE This is My Father’s World arr. Betts WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS *PREPARING FOR WORSHIP Surely the Presence of the Lord Is in This Place Lanny Wolfe 1. Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place; I can feel His mighty power and His grace. I can hear the brush of angels’ wings, I see glory on each face; Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. 2. Surely the Spirit of the Lord is here in love, And it brings God’s peace as quiet as a dove. I can see the glow of angels’ wings shining brightly from above Surely the Spirit of the Lord is here in love. Copyright 1977 by Lanny Wolfe Music/ASCAP (A Div. of Pathway Press, Cleveland, TN.

Duplicated by permission of Gaither Copyright #GCM 082584 CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS Blessed be the holy Trinity,☩ one God, the God of manna, the God of miracles, the God of mercy. Amen. Drawn to Christ and seeking God’s abundance, let us confess our sin. Silence is kept for reflection. God, our provider, help us. It is hard for us to believe there is enough to share. We question your ways when they differ from the ways of the world in which we live. We turn to our own understanding rather than trusting in you. We take offense at your teachings and your ways. Forgive our unbelief and turn us again to you. Share with us the words of eternal life and feed us for life in the world. Amen. Beloved people of God: in Jesus, the manna from heaven, you are fed and nourished. By Jesus, the worker of miracles, there is always more than enough. Through Jesus, ☩ the bread of life, you are shown God’s mercy: you are forgiven and loved into abundant life. Amen. 3 *HYMN Gather Us In #532 1. Here in this place the new light is streaming, now is the darkness vanished away; see in this space our fears and our dreamings brought here to you in the light of this day. Gather us in, the lost and forsaken, gather us in, the blind and the lame; call to us now, and we shall awaken, we shall a rise at the sound of our name. 2. We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry, we are the old who yearn for your face; we have been sung throughout all of hist’ry, called to be light to the whole human race. Gather us in, the rich and the haughty, gather us in, the proud and the strong; give us a heart, so meek and so lowly, give us the courage to enter the song. 3. Here we will take the wine and the water, here we will take the bread of new birth, here you shall call your sons and your daughters, call us anew to be salt for the earth. Give us to drink the wine of compassion, give us to eat the bread that is you; nourish us well, and teach us to fashion lives that are holy and hearts that are true. 4. Not in the dark of buildings confining, not in some heaven, light years away - here in this place the new light is shining, now is the kingdom and now is the day. Gather us in and hold us forever, gather us in and make us your own, gather us in, all peoples together, fire . of love in our flesh and our bone. *GREETING P: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. C: And also with you. *HYMN OF PRAISE 4 PRAYER OF THE DAY O God our strength, without you we are weak and wayward creatures. Protect us from all dangers that attack us from the outside, and cleanse us from all evil that arises from within ourselves, that we may be preserved through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS FIRST READING: Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9 The Israelites believed the law was a divine gift that provided guidelines for living out the covenant. Moses commands the people to obey the law and to neither add to nor subtract from it. The Israelites are also to teach the law to their children and their children’s children. 1So now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the LORD your God with which I am charging you. 6You must observe them diligently, for this will show your wisdom and discernment to the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people!” 7For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is whenever we call to him? 8And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this entire law that I am setting before you today? 9But take care and watch yourselves closely, so as neither to forget the things that your eyes have seen nor to let them slip from your mind all the days of your life; make them known to your children and your children’s children. A: The Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. 5 Psalm 15 Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? (Ps. 15:1) 1LORD, who may dwell in your | tabernacle? Who may abide upon your | holy hill? 2Those who lead a blameless life and do | what is right, who speak the truth | from their heart; 3they do not slander with the tongue, they do no evil | to their friends; they do not cast discredit up- | on a neighbor. 4In their sight the wicked are rejected, but they honor those who | fear the LORD. They have sworn upon their health and do not take | back their word. 5They do not give their money in hope of gain, nor do they take bribes a- | gainst the innocent.

  • The Mysteries of Baptism and Chrismation
    The Mysteries of Baptism and Chrismation 1 THE OFFICE FOR RECEIVING THOSE COMING TO THE ORTHODOX CHURCH FROM THE ANGLICAN CONFESSION The Priest shall stand at the doors of the church in epitrachelion and phelonion. And he questions the one converting to the Orthodox faith, saying: Priest: Do you wish to renounce the transgressions and errors of the Anglican Confession? Convert: I do. Priest: Do you wish to enter into union with the Orthodox-Catholic Faith? Convert: I do. Then the Priest blesses him (her), making the sign of the Cross with his right hand, saying: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. And laying his hand upon the bowed head of the convert, he recites the following prayer: Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord. Choir: Lord, have mercy. Priest: O Lord, God of truth, look down upon Thy servant (handmaiden), N., who seeks to make haste unto Thy Holy Orthodox Church, and to take refuge under her shelter. Turn him (her) from his (her) former error to the path of true faith in Thee, and grant him (her) to walk in all Thy commandments. Let Thine eyes ever look down upon him (her) with mercy, and let Thine ears hearken unto the voice of his (her) supplication, that he (she) may be numbered with Thine elect flock. For all the Powers of Heaven hymn Thee, and Thine is the glory: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

  • Cycle B Lectionary
    FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT First Reading: Isaiah 63:16-17, 64:1-8 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. You, YHWH , are our mother and father; “Our Redeemer Forever” is your name. YHWH , why do you let us wander from your ways and let our hearts grow too hard to revere you? Return to us for the sake of your children, the tribes of your heritage! Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would shake before you! As fire kindles the brushwood and the fire makes water boil, make your Name known to your adversaries, and let the nations tremble before you! When you did awesome things that we could not have expected, you came down, and the mountains quaked in your presence! From ages past no ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen any God but you intervening for those who wait for you! Oh, that you would find us doing right, that we would be mindful of you in our ways! You are angry because we are sinful; we sinned for so long — how can we be saved? All of us became unclean and soiled, even our good deeds are polluted. We have all withered like leaves, and our guilt carries us away like the wind. No one calls upon your Name, there are none who cling to you, for you hid your face from us and delivered us into the hands of our sins. Yet, you are our mother and father, YHWH ; we are the clay and you are the potter, we are all the work of your hands.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).

WORSHIP Sixth Eothinon/Tone Plagal Second We are so very glad you have joined us today, and we pray you will be inspired and encouraged by your time with us. The Orthodox worship service is an ancient and timeless expression of how people have loved, served and worshipped God for many centuries, but it may be a bit of a different experience for you. Please feel free to use a service book or not and simply allow the words of the service to wash over you. The central act of our worship culminates in people receiving communion. This is a very special time for us all and we have some specific beliefs about our com- munion together. This is why we never impose this service on those who are not pre- pared or are not baptized Orthodox. This service may raise questions in your mind. Please feel free to ask Fr. Barnabas or Fr. Paul anything you wish after the service. At the end of the service EVERYONE is invited to come forward and receive a portion of the “blessed bread” from Fr. Barnabas. No one should leave church “hungry!” Know you are welcome and we are glad you are here. May God bless you and your family. Apolytikion in honor of Sts.

The Art Of The Question In Late Medieval England Abstract This project uncovers the unwritten rules of the interrogative which acted as arbiters of power in religious discourse between 1300 and 1450. The central claim of the project is that scenes of question-asking dramatize the convergence of conflicting cultural and intellectual investments, as lay people leverage questions to negotiate social position, spiritual authority, and access to knowledge. Viewed as intersections between lay education and clerical learnedness, questions show how late medieval authors incorporated contemporary social concerns about the development of an educated laity. Despite the role of the interrogative in both communicating the laity’s aspirations for religious knowledge and reifying social barriers that denied them such access, there has been no extended study published on questions in Middle English literature. Individual chapters approach questioning through the clerical resources harnessed to address the laity’s demand for religious knowledge, including rhetoric, grammatical thought, and techniques of scholastic disputation. Each chapter examines a genre which represents an intersection between lay education and clerical learnedness: devotional guides such as those by Richard Rolle, Lollard tracts, lyrics, sermons, and elementary textbooks.
