Second Sunday In Lent

March 8, 2009

“A dreadful thing is the love of money! It disables both eyes and

ears, and makes men worse to deal with than a wild beast, allowing
a man to consider neither conscience nor friendship nor fellowship
nor salvation.” — John Chrysostom
We are missional Anglicans seeking the kingdom of God
in our hearts, our homes, our church and our world.

from God. In return, we would love to bless you according to your

As you enter the church, please prepare your heart for worship.

The Prelude
Come, Now Is the Time to Worship
Come now is the time to worship
Come now is the time to give your heart
Come just as you are to worship
Come just as you are before your God
Come
One day every tongue will confess You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains
For those who gladly choose You now

Holy Is the Lord

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great how awesome is He
And together we sing
Everyone sing
(Chorus)
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory
It is rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown
It's rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown

The psalm will be read as prompted by the Lector.

Psalm 16
5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;*

you hold my lot.

6The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;*
I have a goodly heritage.

7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;*

in the night also my heart instructs me.

8I keep the LORD always before me;*

because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices;*

my body also rests secure.

10For you do not give me up to Sheol,*

or let your faithful one see the Pit.

11You show me the path of life.

In your presence there is fullness of joy;*

in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

The Nicene Creed
Please stand.

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Announcements
Pastor's Forum in February
We have set aside the month of March to discover God's heart for the ex-A
ploited. Please make plans to join in the discussion during the second
(last) session on March 15th.
Lenten Sermon Series: The Economy of the Kingdom
At a time when our country is facing severe financial crisis, it is essential
for Christians to embrace a biblical worldview concerning money. Indeed,
as we develop a kingdom perspective on it, we are then able to bear faith-
ful witness to the one true God in every context of our lives.
Lenten Journals: Hungry? Feed Yourself
Equipping our church to embrace the spiritual disciplines of Bible reading,
prayer, journaling, and scripture memorization, this journal serves as a
common experience for us throughout Lent. Please pick one up at the
usher’s table and dive in; its introduction tells you all you need to know.
Morning Prayer: Rite Two
Monday through Thursday. 9:30 a.m. Church sanctuary. Bring your 1979
Book of Common Prayer (or use one of ours).

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Oh God of Mine
Oh God of mine, I'll have no idols
Oh God of mine, come lead the way
Oh God of mine, I'm greatly humbled

Oh God of mine through death and grave
Oh God of mine in resurrection
Your scars display my soul's refrain

Oh God of mine Who holds all nations

Oh God of mine Who saves the day
Oh God of mine, Your grace sufficient
And tender mercies new by morn

Oh God of mine, forever faithful

Oh God of mine, forever stay
Oh God of mine, forever after
These eyes upon Your face will gaze

and heirs of your eternal kingdom.

The Hymn in Recession
Please remain standing and sing.

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the pow'r of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand

20
The Dismissal
Celebrant: Let us go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power of the Spirit.
People: Thanks be to God.
