Merciful God,we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart.We have failed to be an obedient church.We have not done your will.We have broken your law.We have rebelled against your love.We have not loved our neighbors.And we have not heard the cry of the needy.Forgive us, we pray.Free us for joyful obedience.

TO HEAR THE WORD

ScriptureExodus 3:7-15

Th en the Lord said, “I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their suff erings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land fl owing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Th e cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” He said, “I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain.” But Moses said to God, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘Th e God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” He said further, “Th us you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Th us you shall say to the Israelites, ‘Th e Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’: Th is is my name forever, and this my title for all generations."

Hymn #382 “Have Th ine Own Way, Lord” (v. 4)

ScriptureMatthew 16:21-28

From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suff ering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! Th is must never happen to you.” But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” Th en Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will fi nd it. For what will it profi t them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life? "

Anthem "Come, Th ou Fount of Every Blessing"—arr. Richard Walters

Come, Th ou Fount of every blessing,Tune my heart to sing Th y grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by fl aming tongues above;Praise the mount! I'm fi xed upon it,Mount of Th y redeeming love.

Here I raise mine Ebenezer,Hither by Th y help I'm come;And I hope, by Th y good pleasure,Safely to arrive at home.Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wandering from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood.

Oh to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!Let thy goodness like a fetterBind my wandering heart to Th ee;Prone to wander, Lord I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love;Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it,Seal it for Th y courts above.

Children’s Time All children are invited forward at this time and may bring their prayer requests and off erings.

Lord's Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Th y name. Th y kingdom come, Th y will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Th ine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*Hymn #582 “Whom Shall I Send?” (vv. 1-3)During the singing of this hymn, children four years old through fi fth grade are invited to exit the sanctuary for Enrichment Time.

TO RENEW COMMITMENT

Invitation to Discipleship, Membership,

and Commitment

You are endowed, by your Creator God, with the gifts of time, talent, and treasure. You will fi nd, within the worship folder, invitations to enrich your faith journey and enhance your commitment. We invite you to prayerfully consider these opportunities.

You are invited to sign and pass the ritual of friendship tablet from the center aisle down the pew. Prayer request cards are available in the pew racks and may be placed in the off ering plate as it is passed, or they may be placed in the wooden boxes located in the Narthex and Welcoming Hall.

Th e towel and bowl that are presented by the ushers at this time of the off ering symboli-cally represent the giving of ourselves in humble, compassionate service to others, as was modeled by Christ when he washed his disciples’ feet using a towel and basin of water ( John 13:1–5). Th e off ering plate of material gifts represents the ancient tradition of off ering our best from life’s blessings to God (Deuteronomy 26:1–3).
