Matthew 16:13-20 (page 798, LP page 1524) Watchword of the Week: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 Prelude Prelude in G *Hymn Handel Welcome and Announcements Rev. Scott Venable Prayers of the People/Pastoral Prayer Call to Worship This Day Is Holy to the Lord WORSHIP *Liturgy for Education, Page 127 (Following the Liturgy, please greet those around you in the Name of Christ.) Giving of Tithes and Offerings to the Lord Prayer of Dedication Anthem You Are the Christ! Martin Jesus gathered the chosen together. Then He asked this question: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” “Who do they say I am? Who do you say I am?” You are the Christ, You are Messiah. You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God. You are the King, You are the Savior. You are the way, the truth, the life, You are the Christ! O Lord most high, You are the Christ! Once unto ev’ry man and nation comes a moment to decide. What will our answer be to Jesus? Will we in faith reply? Moravians have a story God’s given us to share; let’s tell it with conviction that all the world may hear. God’s many gifts and graces to each were freely giv’n; that in our earthly living we share a glimpse of Heav’n. Moravians have a story; we share it for God’s glory; and tell our old, old story in new exciting ways. To each God’s grace was given, to each God’s call is plain. To put our gifts in service; to share and share again; to be the church God promised to a world divided, torn; God’s purpose be fulfilled – be reconciled, reborn. Moravians have a story; we share it for God’s glory; and tell our old, old story in new exciting ways. *Benediction *Postlude Alleluia Mozart Our guest organist this morning is Anita Long.
