Call to Worship

Prayer of Adoration

GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD_________________

*Hymn #590 “Rise Up O Saints of God” Deacons will collect prayer requests

*Prayer of Confession

God of all good gifts, we have often failed to recognize the

needs of those around us, even those who are the closest to us.

We are so preoccupied with our own lives, we are unable to

recognize the pain and suffering of others. We seek the

satisfaction of a material world while pushing you aside. Forgive

us, O God. Help us to serve others with the same grace and

mercy we receive from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. We

pray that others will see him through us. Amen.

*Assurance of God’s Forgiveness

*Congregational Response Hymn # 373

Change my heart, O God. Make it ever true. Change my

heart, O God. May I be like you. You are the Potter, I am the

clay. Mold me and make me, this is what I pray. Change my

heart, O God. Make it ever true. Change my heart, O God, may

I be like you.

Time with the Children

Anthem

Joys and Concerns

Prayers of the People & 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 debts as we forgive our debtors; and lead

us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Offering our Gifts to God

The Heart of Worship by Matt Redman

When the music fades, all is stripped away,

And I simply come;

Longing just to bring, something that's of worth,

That will bless Your heart.

I'll bring You more than a song,

For a song in itself is not what You have required.

You search much deeper within through the way things

appear; You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship,

And it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.

I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it,

When it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.

King of endless worth, no one could express,

How much You deserve.

Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours,

Every single breath.

I'll bring You more than a song,

For a song in itself is not what You have required.

You search much deeper within through the way things

appear; You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship,

And it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus.

I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it,

When it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus. © 1999 Thankyou Music

Warmest welcome to this hour of worship at Ken Mawr United Presbyterian

Church! While Jayne and I attend a wedding in Richmond, VA and while Pastor

Bob visits Europe, our own Louise Schoppe is preaching a message of God’s

passion for justice from the prophet Amos. God is still provoked to anger when

people cause others to suffer today. While our church is focused on God’s Grace,

God’s Love and God’s Word, let us also remember that God’s relationship with

us demands that we treat each other justly and with love. I sincerely hope that

all of you will worship with us again sometime soon. -Pastor Karl

“Seek the LORD

and live,

or he will sweep

through the tribes

of Joseph

like a fire;

it will devour them,

and Bethel will

have no one to

quench it.

There are those

who turn justice

into bitterness

and cast

righteousness to

the ground.”

Amos 5:6-7
