Prayer of Confession
Merciful God, forgive us for we exalt ourselves and
mock the humble. We choose to believe we are self-
sufficient rather than trust in your strength.
Open us to your spirit, that we might serve all people
without regard to the outcome, devoting ourselves

Old Testament Lesson

Psalm 81: 1, 10-16
Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the
God of Jacob. I am the Lord your God, who
brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your
mouth wide and I will fill it. “But my people did not
listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.
![Page 17: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to
follow their own counsels. O that my people would
listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
Then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and turn
my hand against their foes. Those who hate the
Lord would cringe before him, and their doom

would last forever. I would feed you with the finest
of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would
satisfy you.”

Luke 14: 1, 7-14
On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house
of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the
sabbath, they were watching him closely. When he
noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he
told them a parable. “When you are invited by
![Page 21: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at
the place of honor, in case someone more
distinguished than you has been invited by your
host; and the host who invited both of you may come
and say to you, ‘Give this person your place,’ and
then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest

place. But when you are invited go and sit down at
the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he
may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you
will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the
table with you. For all who exalt themselves will be
humbled, and those who humble themselves will

be exalted.” He said also to the one who had invited
him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not
invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives
or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in
return, you would be repaid. But when you give a
banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame,

and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they
cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the
resurrection of the righteous.”

Affirmation of Faith
In life and death we belong to God. Through the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and
the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the
one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone
we worship and serve. We trust in Jesus Christ,

fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign
of God: preaching good news to the poor and release
to the captives, teaching by word and deed and
blessing the children, healing the sick and binding
up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving
sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the
gospel.

Communion Song

For every born, a place at the table,
For everyone born, clean water and bread,
A shelter, a space, a safe place for growing,
For everyone born, a star over head.
![Page 42: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
And God will delight when we are creators of
justice and joy, compassion and peace:
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice,
justice and joy!

For women and man, a place at the table,
Revising the roles, deciding the share,
With wisdom and grace dividing the power,
For women and man, a system that’s fair.
![Page 44: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

justice and joy, compassion and peace:
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice,
justice and joy!

For young and for old, a place at the table,
A voice to be heard, a part in the song,
The hands of a child in hands that are wrinkled,
For young and for old, the right to belong.
![Page 46: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

justice and joy!

For just and un-just, a place at the table,
A buser, a bused, with need to forgive,
In anger, in hurt, a mindset of mercy,
For just and un-just, a new way to live.
![Page 48: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
And God will delight when we are creators of
justice and joy, compassion and peace:
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice,
justice and joy!
![Page 49: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
For everyone born, a place at the table,
To live without fear, and simply to be,
To work, to speak out, to witness and worship,
For everyone born, the right to be free.
![Page 50: Welcome To Providence Presbyterian Church](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b4c550346895da439c2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
And God will delight when we are creators of
justice and joy, compassion and peace:
Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice,
justice and joy!
