    PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND OUR LEADERS

    If you are like me, over the last few days I have reminisced about this past year. So many things came without warning or couldn’t be predicted. People entered my life, people exited my life, hardships were experienced, and joys celebrated were all part of the previous year’s journey. It was filled with mountain tops and deep valleys. Likewise, I wonder what 2014 will bring. I wonder what journey I will travel or experiences I will have in this next year. Do you ever ponder these things?

    In a world filled with many things beyond our control, there are some things that are needed for the journey. During the month of January, we will begin a new sermon series addressing the things that we can do to better prepare for the unexpected journey that we will walk in 2014. I invite you to come with an open heart and allow God to direct us for the journey that lies ahead.

    Grace and peace,

    The Choral Call to Worship: “I Come With Joy”

    The Parish Concerns & Announcements

    The Chiming of the Hour

    The Flame and Cross Come to the Altar

    The Preludes:

    (8:30) “As With Gladness Men of Old”by Wilbur Held

    (10:55) “The Kingsfold Trumpet” by A. Fedak

    *The Hymn of Celebration: “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee”No. 89

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