Third Sunday After Pentecost

June 21, 2009

Paul's sufferings complete Christ's afflictions

not by adding anything to their worth, but by
extending them to the people they were
meant to save. — John Piper
We are missional Anglicans seeking the kingdom of God
in our hearts, our homes, our church and our world.

The Prelude
Here I am to Worship
Light of the world, you stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made, this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
(chorus)
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days, Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came, to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
(bridge)
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross (2x)

You are Worthy of My Praise

Leader: All:
I will worship I will worship
With all of my heart with all of my heart
I will praise You I will praise You
With all of my strength all my strength
I will seek You I will seek You
All of my days all of my days
I will follow I will follow
All of Your ways all Your ways
(chorus)
I will give You all my worship
I will give You all my praise
You alone I long to worship
You alone are worthy of my praise
I will bow down I will bow down
And hail You as King and hail You as King
I will serve You I will serve You
Give You everything give you everything
I will lift up I will lift up
My eyes to Your throne my eyes to your throne
I will trust You I will trust You
Trust You alone Trust in You alone

The Songs of Praise

Celebrant: Let us pray.
O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your

you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving-kindness;

Please be seated.

The Lesson: Acts 16:16-40

Preacher: The Word of the Lord
People: Thanks be to God

The Sermon: The Costly Rewards of Missional Living

6
The Nicene Creed
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.

That your Name may be glorified by all people.

We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;

That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.

We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;

That our works may find favor in your sight.

That they may be delivered from their distress.

Give to the departed eternal rest.

Let light perpetual shine upon them.

We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;

giveness of our sins:

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father;

in your compassion forgive us our sins,
known and unknown,
things done and left undone;
and so uphold us by your Spirit
that we may live and serve you in newness of life,
to the honor and glory of your Name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Priest: Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all good-
ness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal
life. Amen.

The Offertory
I Bless Your Name
In prisoners' chains
With bleeding stripes
Paul and Silas prayed that night
And in their pain began to sing
Their chains were loosed and they were free
(chorus)
I bless Your Name
I bless Your Name
I give You honor give You praise
You are the Life the Truth the Way
I bless Your Name
I bless Your Name
Some midnight hour
If you should find
You're in a prison in your mind
Reach out and praise, defy those chains
And they will fall in Jesus' Name

The Mystery of Our Faith

Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

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,

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and
ever. Amen.

The Communion Hymns
Please be seated and sing.

Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature
O Thou of God and man the Son
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor
Thou my soul's glory, Joy and crown
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav'n can boast
Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man
Glory and honor praise adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine

15

and heirs of your eternal kingdom.
And now, Father, send us out
to do the work you have given us to do,
to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.
To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit,
be honor and glory, now and forever. Amen

The Hymn in Recession
Please remain standing and sing.

There Is Power in the Blood

Would you be free from your burden of sin
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Would you o'er evil the victory win
There's wonderful power in the blood
(chorus)
There is power, power wonder-working power
In the blood, Of the lamb
There is power power wonder-working power
In the precious blood of the lamb
Would you be whiter much whiter than snow
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow
There's wonderful power in the blood
Would you do service for Jesus your king
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Would you live daily His praises to sing
There's wonderful power in the blood

The Dismissal
Celebrant: Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
