THE GATHERING

The service of worship begins with the prelude; quiet is requested as you enter the sanctuary and prepare for worship. In the spirit of Christian fellowship, we invite you to wear a name tag which is available from the greeters. As a community that prays with and for one another, we invite you to share your joys and concerns by using the prayer cards available from the ushers and in the pew racks. Those parts of the Service of Worship in which the congregation participates in word or song are noted in bold type. Please stand as you are able.

MINUTE FOR MISSION Marcy Steele

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

God of grace and truth, when we hear Jesus critique the authorities of his time, we wonder what has changed. People still exploit others, still demand preferential treatment, still abuse positions of leadership. We are ashamed to admit that this happens even in our offices, our homes, and the church. Forgive any practice of ours that glorifies our self-importance rather than glorifying you. God of justice and peace, renew and refresh us with the gentleness and selflessness of your Son. This we pray in the name of Jesus.

PRAYERS OF SILENT AND INDIVIDUAL CONFESSION

WORDS OF ASSURANCE

Leader: Friends, believe and proclaim the Good News: in Jesus Christ, love breaks through hatred, hope breaks

through despair, life breaks through death.

People: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, loved, and set free. Thanks be to God! Amen.

* CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE Hymnal No. 579 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.

* EXCHANGE OF PEACE

Leader: Let us open our hearts to one another as Christ has opened his heart to us, and God will be glorified.

People: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

(Exchange Signs of Reconciliation and the Peace of Christ with your neighbor - e.g., “The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”

Response - “And also with you.”)

TODAY’S MUSIC Today’s organ voluntaries are by two masters of the French Classic organ school. Gaspard Corrette (c. 1671 –1733) was a French composer and organist. He was born in Rouen, where he was organist for the church of St-Herbland. His only surviving composition is an organ mass in the eighth Church Mode, published in 1703. The mass consists of 24 pieces, all in G major. This is the last organ mass written in the great French tradition established in the 16th century and seen in works of François Couperin and Nicolas de Grigny, among others. Louis-Nicolas Clérambault (1676 –1749) was a French musician, best known as an organist and composer. He was born, and died, in Paris. Clérambault became the organist at the church of the Grands-Augustins and entered the service of Madame de Maintenon. After the death of Louis XIV and Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, he succeeded the latter at the organ of the church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris. Adrian Batten (1591 –1637) was an English organist and Anglican church composer active during an important period of English church music, between the Reformation and the Civil War in the 1640s. He held positions as Vicar Choral at both Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. He supplemented his income as a music copyist, and many works by his contemporaries survive only in copies in his hand. Jesse Padgett (b. 1976) is a graduate of Appalachian State University and serves on the faculty of West Chester University. He has appeared in both opera and Broadway productions.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE READINGS

Mark 12:38-44 (NRSV) As he taught, he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! 40They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” 41He sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. 43Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. 44For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”

1 Kings 17:8-16 (NRSV) Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 9“Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.” 11As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12But she said, “As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” 13Elijah said to her, “Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. 14For thus says the LORD the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth.” 15She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. 16The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.
