July 13, 2014 Call To WorshipAileen NorthVickey Gibbs Opening SongIn The Midst of New DimensionsIn the midst of new dimensions, In the face of changing ways,Who will lead the pilgrim people, Wandering in their separate ways?God of rainbow, fiery pillar, Leading where the eagles soar,We Your people, ours the journey, Now and ever, now and ever, now and evermore.Through the flood of starving people, Warring factions and despair,Who will lift the olive branches? Who will light the flame of care?(Chorus)As we stand a world divided , By our own self-seeking schemes,Grant that we, your global village, Might envision wider dreams.(Chorus)Through the years of human struggle, Walk a people long despised,Gays and lesbians together , Fighting to be realized.(Chorus)We are Black and we are Asian, Indian, Hispanic, White,We a rainbow coalition, All of value in Thy sight.(Chorus)Should the threats of dire predictions, Cause us to withdraw in pain,May your blazing phoenix spirit, Resurrect the church again.(Chorus)Public Domain, CCLI# 1025612Our Community GathersRev.

Gathering SongAll Are WelcomeLet us build a house where love can dwellAnd all can safely live,A place where saints and children tellHow hearts learn to forgive.Built of hopes and dreams and visions,Rock of faith and vault of grace;Here the love of Christ shall end divisions:All are welcome, all are welcome,All are welcome in this place.Words and Music by Marty Haugen 1994 GIA Publications, INC, CCLI# 1025612Psalms:Songs andPrayersThe Book of Psalms isa collection of prayersof the people of Israelthat were often sung orspoken together as anact of worship. Types ofpsalms include hymns,communal or individuallaments, royal praise, andindividual thanksgiving.Some psalms weremeant to be used as youclimbed the slope upto Jerusalem and werecalled psalms of “ascent.”Some psalms areattributed to King Davidand also to many othersources. Psalm 51traditionally is David’sprayer of repentance,“Create in me a cleanheart of God, and puta new and right spiritwithin me. Do not castme away from yourpresence, and do nottake your holy spirit fromme. Restore to me thejoy of your salvation, andsustain in me a willingspirit.” Psalms can beangry, condemning andask for rescue along withvengeance. Psalms canbe praising and joyful.They are full of thehuman in all humannessreaching out to God.This season we use theBook of Psalms as weexplore The Gospelof Glee where a newcommunity learns tosing songs of sorrow andsongs of hope together asthey learn what it meansto grow together.Ancient PsalmGeorgette MonaghanPsalm 139O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when Irise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lyingdown, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, OLord, you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your handupon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it.Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascendto heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings ofthe morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall leadme, and your right hand shall hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall coverme, and the light around me become night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; thenight is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. For it was you who formedmy inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I amfearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. Myframe was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wovenin the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your bookwere written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if thereis any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.One: The Word of God for the people of God.All: Thanks be to God.
