PRE-SERVICE THE ORDER OF WORSHIP RINGING OF THE BELLS WELCOME - Please sign our ‘Record of Fellowship’’ book found in the pew ANNOUNCEMENTS and GREET ONE ANOTHER 3 OPENING HYMN Leaning on the Everlasting Arms What a fellowship what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. REFRAIN Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms. O how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. REFRAIN What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. REFRAIN INVOCATION P: In the name of the Father and of the † Son and the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. CONFESSION All: Father in heaven, we admit that we have not lived our lives “by the book.” You tell us to be perfect and we have failed. Our thoughts, words, and deeds have not been what You would have us do. We are imperfect. We confess this to You, in the certain hope that You will forgive us. (we take a moment for personal confessing) ABSOLUTION P: In His book, our God tells us that our sins have been covered. Through the sacrifice of His son on the 4 cross, and resurrection from the grave, forgiveness is won for us. God’s word is a forgiving word, therefore, it is my privilege to announce that our sins are forgiven in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. SALUTATION P: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. PRAYER OF THE DAY All: (We pray)Grant Lord, that the course of this world may be so governed by Your direction that Your Church may rejoice in serving You in godly peace and quietness: through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. FIRST READING Reader: Acts 1:12-26 12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. 15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, “Brothers and sisters, the Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 He was one of our number and shared in our ministry.” 18 (With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard 5 about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, “‘May another take his place of leadership.’ 21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.” 23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. Reader: This is the word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. SECOND READING Reader: Revelation 22: 1-6 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. 6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.” Reader: This is the word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. 6 THE HOLY GOSPEL P: The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the 17th chapter starting verse 20. C: Glory to You, O Lord. P: 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.
