A Litany of the Community of Christ
I believe that the Son of God, through his Spirit and Word,
out of the entire human race, from the beginning of the world to its end,
gathers, protects, and preserves for himself a community chosen
for eternal life and united in true faith.
And of this community I am and always will be a living member.

—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 54

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people,
in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people;
Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

People of God, all of us together have received God’s mercy in Christ.
In Christ we are forgiven, redeemed, and made to be a community united in faith.

Thanks be to God.

—based on 1 Peter 2:9-10, NRSV

 

Praise the Father, Praise the Son
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To you belongs the highest praise

These sufferings, this passing tide
Under your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

To the valley for my soul
Thy great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows

O praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever
(repeat)

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
The name above all other names

Sermon
“The Community that Upholds Us”
2 Timothy 1:15-18

 

Prayer of Confession
Loving God, be merciful and cast our sins into the depths of the sea.
Forgive our indifference to you and one another.
Shape us into a renewed Community that reflects the love and friendship
that you enjoy within your own Being, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Cause our love for one another to draw the lonely,
the discarded and the broken, to you.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

What the Lord Has Done in Me
Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

Let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Let the blind say I can see
It’s what the Lord has done in me

Into the river I will wade
There my sins are washed away
From the heaven’s mercy stream
Of the Savior’s love for me

Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

I will rise from waters deep
Into the saving arms of God
I will sing salvation songs
Jesus Christ has set me free

Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

The Apostles’ Creed (for reflection)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living 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.

 

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen

Come Thou Fount
Come, thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I’m come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandr’ing from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above

O that day, when freed from sinning
I shall see thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing thy sovereign grace

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send thine angels, now to carry
Me to realms of endless day

Affirmation of Faith
For you did not receive a spirit
that makes you a slave again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of sonship.

And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs –
heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings
in order that we may also share in his glory.

—Romans 8:15-17

 

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man

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 heaven 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

H.A. Hoffman von Fallersleben, Joseph August Seiss © Public Domain CCLI 241710

 

Sermon
“The Spirit Who Guards Us”
2 Timothy 1:12-14

 

Prayer of Confession
Merciful God and Loving Father,
We come with empty hands, weak and needy.
Our sins are ever before us.
Forgive and cleanse us in the living water,
That flows from our Savior.
Make us a gracious presence,
And compassionate people.
Bless our community and love our world,
Through us and in spite of us,
As you make Jesus known
To those who share our brokenness
In this fallen world you created to be good.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Jesus, lover of my soul
Let me to thy bosom fly
While the nearer waters roll
While the tempest still is high

Hide me, O my Savior, hide
‘Til life’s storm is past
Safe into the haven guide
Receive my soul at last

Other refuge have I none
I, helpless, hang on thee
Leave, O leave me not alone
Support and comfort me

All my trust on thee is stayed
All help from thee I bring
Cover my defenseless head
In the shadow of thy wing

Thou, O Christ, are all I want
Here more than all I find
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint
Heal the sick, and lead the blind

Just and holy is thy name
I am all unrighteousness
False and full of sin I am
Thou art full of truth and grace

Plenteous grace with thee is found
Grace to cover all my sin
Let the healing streams abound
Make and keep me pure within

Thou of life the fountain art
Let me take of thee
Spring thou up within my heart
For all eternity

Jesus, lover of my soul
Let me to thy bosom fly

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O, death, where is your sting
O, hell, where is your victory
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive

Christ risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

An Affirmation of Faith
What do you believe about the work of Jesus Christ?

We believe that Jesus Christ presented himself
in our name before his Father,
to appease his wrath with full satisfaction
by offering himself on the tree of the cross
and pouring out his precious blood
for the cleansing of our sins.

Praise My Soul the King of Heaven
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven
To his feet your tribute bring
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
Evermore his praises sing
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King

Father-like he tends and spares us
Well our feeble frame he knows
In his hands he gently bears us
Rescues us from all our foes
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet his mercy flows

Frail as summer’s flower we flourish
Blows the wind and it is gone
But while mortals rise and perish
Our God lives unchanging on
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the high Eternal One

Angels, help us to adore him
Ye behold him face to face
Sun and moon, bow down before him
Dwellers all in time and space
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace

O For A Thousand
O, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace

Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace

He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoners free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me

He speaks and listening to his voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe

My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name

Baptism {10:30 a.m.}
Aaron Yae Chan Park will be baptized upon his profession of faith.

An Affirmation of Faith
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,

and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy set before him endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men,

so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

—Hebrews 12:1-3

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

You part the seas
You move the mountains
With the words that you say
My song remains, ‘God you reign’

You hold my life
You know my heart
And you call me by name
I live to say, ‘God you reign’

The Lord’s Supper — In The Shadow of the Glorious Cross
In the shadow of the glorious cross
Compelled by grace to cast my lot
I’ll discard the loss and bare your name
Forsaking all for your own fame

Your hymn of grace sung over me
Abounding forth in glorious streams
My thirst is quenched by you, my Lord
Sustained am I, redeemed, restored
Sustained am I, redeemed, restored

Hallelujah, hallelujah

When death’s dark shadow’s at my feet
When I am plagued by unbelief
You place my hands into your side
By precious blood identified
By precious blood identified
Hallelujah, hallelujah

These crowns I’ve clenched with fisted hands
I cast them down before the throne
Of Christ, my God, the worthy lamb
Christ crucified, the Great I AM
Christ crucified, the Great I AM
Christ crucified, the Great I AM

For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing, this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O Lord, our Lord how majestic
Is your name in all the earth

The mountains they bow down before you
So I’ll join with the earth
And I’ll give my praise to you

A Profession of Faith
Do you believe in God the Father?

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended to heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?

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.

—based on Apostles’ Creed

 

Uncreated One
Holy uncreated One
Your beauty fills the skies
But the glory of your majesty
Is the mercy in your eyes

Worthy uncreated One
From heaven to earth come down
You laid aside your royalty
To wear the sinner’s crown

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

Jesus Savior, God’s own Son
Risen reigning Lord
Sustainer of the universe
By the power of your word

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

And when we see your matchless face
In speechless awe we’ll stand
And there we’ll bow with grateful hearts
Unto the great I AM

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Sermon
“Until I Come”
Matthew 26:26-32

 

Prayer of Confession
Merciful God and Loving Father,
who sent His Son to bleed and die,
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Forgive and cleanse us.
Forgive the sins we commit in daylight, and in the dark.
Forgive our corrupt actions and motives.
Forgive the sins we know we have committed,
and those we are not yet aware of.
And make us offerings of your grace and peace,
where we live and in your good world,
until we are reunited at the Feast.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
