TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST

HEBREWS 13:1-2

Let mutual love continue. 2Do not neglect to show hospitality

to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels

without knowing it.

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church! We are so glad that you are here. We hope that joining us for worship today will nurture your heart and transform your mind. Here at First Pres our mission is transforming lives through the love of Jesus Christ, that simple and that challenging. We realize we need each other and commit to pray for each other. We reach out in love and compassion to a world in need, and we know we are a work in progress. If you are new to First Pres, we hope you will join us again and consider attending any of our mission, fellowship and education opportunities. If you would like to learn more about us, please fill out the visitor information on the “blue card” in the pew rack, and place it in the offering plate. You are also more than welcome to contact any of our pastors over the phone or by email. God's peace to you today.

PRELUDE 9:00am Pastorale Alec Rowley 11:00am Elegy James Biery

TOLLING OF THE HOUR

† CALL TO WORSHIP (congregation please stand, rise in body or spirit) inspired by The Beatitudes

One: Happy are we All: When our treasures cannot be quantified. One: Happy are we All: When our knowledge is tempered by mystery. One: Happy are we All: When our pain is held in the balm of love. One: Happy are we All: When our delight comes from beyond ourselves.

† HYMN No. 773 Heaven Shall Not Wait HEAVEN SHALL NOT WAIT

CALL TO CONFESSION (congregation may be seated) One: Let us approach God in this time of confession with the honesty of our lives. First, in a time of silent personal prayer. (Moment of silent prayer.) Now, let us pray together:

PRAYER OF CONFESSION All: Jesus, you showed us holiness in action through the way you lived your life. You gave away your power in the service of others and turned our understanding of blessedness on its head. We confess the difficulties we experience in living as you lived and loving as you loved. We confess our failure to act when we see around us weakness, pain, suffering and powerlessness. Strengthen us to be people who sing and live your song of love; who willingly serve our neighbors; who seek justice and mercy for all; who truly repent of what is past and look with anticipation for what is yet to come. This we pray in your name and for your sake. Amen.

WORDS OF ASSURANCE One: “In Christ... when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, you also were marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance towards redemption as God’s own people.” (Ephesians 1: 13, 14) Hear again the word of truth: in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. All: Thanks be to God! Amen.

† CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE We Are Forgiven (Hymn No. 447) WE ARE FORGIVEN We are forgiven. We are forgiven. Thanks be to God. Thanks be to God. We are forgiven. We are forgiven. Thanks be to God. Thanks be to God.

† SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST One: Having received the gift of peace that forgiveness brings, our first act is to share it with one another. Let us do that now by saying, The Peace of Christ be with you. All: And also with you. One: Let us greet one another with signs of peace in a manner that is comfortable for you. [This may be shaking hands, hugs, or simply smiling.]

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Please sign and pass the friendship pad to those in your pew.

ANTHEM 11:00am Shine like the Sun Scottish traditional/arr. Karen E. Black

Alexandra Tsilibes, violinist There’s a light that lights the darkness, and the world cannot contain it, and the world cannot explain it.

It is the light of God’s creation. There’s a love that flows within us, and the world cannot create it,

and the world cannot negate it. It is the love of God’s salvation; and it shines like the sun.

There are saints who light the darkness, and the world cannot contain them,

for the love of God sustains them and they will never be forgotten.

We are blest to have them with us, and we praise the God who made them.

There is no way to repay them, and so we simply do applaud them as they shine like the sun.

Glory be to our Creator! Glory to the Holy One! Glory be to Christ our Savior, the Lord of light,

the King of love. See him shine like the sun.

INVITATION TO THE TABLE

GREAT THANKSGIVING (The Apostles’ Creed - traditional) (*Spirit, **universal) One: The Lord be with you. All: And also with you. One: Lift up your hearts. All: We lift them to the Lord. One: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. All: It is right to give our thanks and praise. One: It is truly right and our greatest joy to give you thanks and praise, O God, creator and ruler of the universe. We praise you for saints and martyrs, for the faithful in every age who have followed your Son and witnessed to his resurrection. How glorious is your heavenly realm where the multitude of your saints rejoice with Christ. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with all the faithful of every time and place, to proclaim what we believe: All: 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 Ghost*, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on 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 Ghost; the holy catholic** church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. One: May this Sacrament be for us true Communion as we share in the elements of Bread and Cup. Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor are yours, almighty God, now and forever. Amen

WORDS OF INSTITUTION Remembrance of our Members who have gone on to live in the fullness of Christ since last All Saints Day. As each name is read, a chime will sound indicating our thanksgiving to God for that life.

One: Almighty God, we remember before all you those who have lived among us who have directed our steps in the way. We thank you for the ways in which they opened our eyes to the truth, inspired our hearts by their witness, and strengthened our wills by their devotion.

We rejoice in their lives, honor them in their death, and pray that we may be united with them in the glory of Christ's resurrection. Amen. SHARING OF COMMUNION Breaking of the Bread, Sharing of the Cup Communion this morning is by the ancient practice of intinction (breaking a piece of bread from the loaf and dipping it in the cup). All are invited to partake. Please come forward as the Ushers open your pew doors and guide you. If you prefer not to come forward for communion, please let us know and it will be served to you in your pew.

CANDLE LIGHTING IN REMEMBRANCE OF LOVED ONES After you have come forward and received the elements, you are invited to light your own candle in honor of loved ones. Take a candle from the basket; light it from the tall candle and place in the container of sand. Continue to move toward the outside aisle to return to your seat. Those who remain in the pews will be offered the communion elements at their seats and asked if they would like a remembrance candle lighted and placed at the front on their behalf.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION All: God, in deep gratitude for this moment, this meal, these people, we give ourselves to you. Take us out as changed people because we have shared the living bread and cannot remain the same. Ask much of us, expect much from us, enable much by us, encourage many through us. God, may we live to your glory, both as inhabitants of earth and citizens of your kingdom, in the one communion of saints. Amen.

His most famous hymn-text is “I Was There to Hear Your Borning Cry.” The tune used with the text is called Wild Mountain Thyme and is a traditional Scottish tune. Karen Black, Professor of Organ at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa arranged this anthem which was recently published in 2014.

TODAY

THIS WEEK

Daylight Savings Time ended this morning. Did you remember to set your clocks back an hour? Or did you arrive at church an hour early? Today is All Saints’ Sunday with Communion and Candle Lighting Remembrance. Our reflective service honors those who have gone on to live in the fullness of Christ. We recognize how they and all believers are always gathered around the Lord’s Table in the timelessness of God. Communion of the Saints will include a time for all to light an individual remembrance candle in honor of loved ones. Our guest preacher this morning is a familiar face to some of you — Rev. Ed Dykstra, who was former interim head pastor here at First Pres before Rev. Jeff Lehn took the position. Rev. Dykstra is retired now, but still fills in when needed. Thank you, Rev. Dykstra. A special thank you to guest musician Alexandra Tsilibes for playing violin at the 11:00am service this morning. Alex also will be one of our guest violinists for the Christmas Eve service. She began playing at age 5 and gave her solo debut with the Rochester (New York) Philharmonic at age 16. She has been a violinist with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra since 2005. She also is a private violin instructor. High School Youth Fellowship begins at 6:00pm tonight in Rooms 209/212.

T.O.W.N adult education classes for November 8 and 15 will be taught by Dr. Chelsea Vaught and will continue our focus on the reformation by looking at the way the major reformers thought about music and the music they created. November 8 will focus on Martin Luther and John Calvin. November 15 will focus on

Ulrich Zwingli and the Anabaptists. T.O.W.N. (Together On Wednesday Night) is a weekly event for middle-schoolers and adults. Dinner is at 5:30pm ($5/person, $20/family). Then adults and middle-schoolers each go to their own programs at 6:00pm.

Pastor Nominating Committee update The Presbyterian process for calling and installing a pastor is an intentionally measured and se-quential one that sometimes can seem unwieldy and slow. Because the relationship between a con-gregation and a called pastor is expected to be long-term, it’s vitally important that it be established only after consideration of a very large pool of candidates and after all parties spend a significant amount of time getting to know each other. The PNC is happy to report that after examining doz-ens of candidates, we have identified about one dozen who we believe should be given further consideration. We have requested additional materials from them and expect to begin personal interviews by video conference in the coming week. This is a significant step in the process and we know you share our excitement as we move closer to identifying our next Senior Pastor! PNC members will continue to present updates to the congregation during worship on the third Sunday of each month, with the next one scheduled for November 19.

The Sanctuary organ was built by the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts, and installed in 1956. The organ contains over 4,500 pipes, the majority of which are located in the rear of the choir loft.
