We are a fellowship – on pilgrimage together to the city with foundations whose architect and builder is God. We are one body – Christ’s body, and each of us is a part of it, working together to accomplish Christ’s purpose for our world. We are the church of Jesus Christ – one with our ancient past, one with our approaching future. Together, today, let us worship God. PRAYER

LIVING THE WORD OF GOD HEBREW LESSON
Exodus 3: 1-15 Edgar Palacios Apacentando Moisés las ovejas de su suegro Jetro, sacerdote de Madián, llevó las ovejas a través del desierto y llegó hasta Horeb, monte de Dios. Allí se le apareció el ángel de Jehová en una llama de fuego, en medio de una zarza. Al fijarse, vio que la zarza ardía en fuego, pero la zarza no se consumía. Encontes Moisés se dijo: “Iré ahora para contemplar esta gran visión, por qué causa la zarza no se quema”. Cuando Jehová vio que él iba a mirar, lo llamó de en medio de la zarza: -¡Moisés, Moisés! –Aquí estoy –respondió él. Dios le dijo: -No te acerques, quita el calzado de tus pies, porque el lugar en que tú estás, tierra santa es. Y añadió: -Yo soy el Dios de tu padre, el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob. Entonces Moisés cubrió su rostro, porque tuvo miedo de mirar a Dios. Dijo luego Jehová: -Bien he visto la afliccion de mi pueblo que está en Egipto, y he oído su clamor a causa de sus opresores, pues he conocido sus angustias. Por eso he descendido para librarlos de manos de los egipcios y sacarlos de aquella tierra a una tierra buena y ancha, a una tierra que fluye leche y miel, a los lugares del cananeo, del heteo, del amorreo, del ferezeo, del heveo y del jebuseo. El clamor, pues, de los hijos de Israel ha llegado ante mi, y también he visto la opresión con que los egipcios los oprimen. Ven, por tanto, ahora, y te enviaré al faraón para que saques de Egipto a mi pueblo, a los hijos de Israel. Entonces Moisés respondió a Dios: -¿Quién soy yo para que vaya al faraón y saque de Egipto a los hijos de Israel? Dios le respondió: -Yo estaré contigo; y esto te será por señal de que yo te he enviado: cuando hayas sacado de Egipto al pueblo, serviréis a Dios sobre este
monte. Dijo Moisés a Dios: -Si voy a los hijos de Israel y les digo: “Jehová, el Dios de vuestros padres, me ha enviado a vosotros”, me preguntarán: “¿Cuál es su nombre?”. Entonces ¿qué les responderé? Reespondió Dios a Moisés: -“Yo soy el que soy”. Y añadió: -Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: “’Yo soy’ me envió a vosotros”. Además, Dios dijo a Moisés: -Así dirás a los hijos de Israel: “Jehová, el Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob, me ha enviado a vosotros”. Este es mi nombre para siempre; con él se me recordará por todos los siglos. Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. 3Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up.” 4When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5Then he said, “Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6He said further, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 7Then
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 sufferings, 8and 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 flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. 10So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.” 11But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12He 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.” 13But
Moses said to God, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” He said further, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” 15God also said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’: This is my name forever, and this my title for all generations. TESTIMONY SINGING OUR ALLELUIAS Alleluia, Alleluia. Alleluia, Alleluia, O Alleluia. (repeat)

GOSPEL LESSON
Matthew 16: 21-28 Elijah Zehyoue 21From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you.” 23But 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.” 24Then
Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?
27“For
the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done. 28Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a declarer a sus discípulos que le era necesario ir a Jerusalén y padecer mucho a manos de los ancianos, de los principales sacerdotes y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucirta al tercer día. Entonces Pedro, tomándolo aparte, comenzó a reconvernirlo, diciendo: -Señor, ten compasión de ti mismo. ¡En ninguna manera esto te acontezca! Pero él, volviéndose, dijo a Pedro: -¡Quítate de delante de mí, Satanás! Me eres tropiezo, porque no pones la mira en las cosas de Dios, sino en las de los hombres. Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: -Si alguien quiere venire en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz y sígame, porque todo el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; y todo el que pierda su vida por causa de mí, la hallará. ¿De qué le servirá al hombre ganar todo el mundo, si pierde su alma? ¿o qué dará el hombre a cambio de su alma?, porque el Hijo del hombre vendrá en la gloria de su Padre, con su ángeles, y encontes pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras. De cierto os digo que hay algunos de los que están aquí que no gustarán la muerte hasta que hayan visto al Hijo del hombre viniendo en su Reino. This is the Gospel of Christ. Thanks be to God. SINGING OUR PRAYER
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL / ESTOY BIEN When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say: It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.
Feliz yo me siento al saber que Jesús, libróme de yugo opresor Quitó mi pecado, clavolo en la cruz: Gloria demos al buen Salvador. Estoy bien, ¡Gloria a Dios! Tengo paz en mis ser, ¡Gloria a Dios! And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, “Even so,” it is well with my soul. It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul. PRAYER Allyson Robinson 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. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

WORSHIP CALVARY UNPLUGGED: WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. Today we conclude our six-week summer series, gathering in Woodward Hall to share in a less formal holy time together. As our community experiences a time of change, we’ve been looking at stories of the fathers and mothers of the Hebrew people and their journey through change to the fulfillment of God’s promises to them. How can we build and strengthen our community through change? We’ll find out together. NEXT SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, we start the 2014-15 church program year—and celebrate 150 years on the corner of Eighth and H Streets NW! Join us at 11:00 a.m. as we return to the Sanctuary for worship. Then be sure to stay for lunch in Woodward Hall ($10 suggested contribution) and a very special concert event in the Chapel at 2:00 p.m. Read on—and don’t miss the celebration!
COMING UP CALVARY’S CALENDAR OF EVENTS. Visit www.calvarydc.org/events/ for a current listing of Calvary programs and events. LATINO FELLOWSHIP PICNIC The Holistic Health Program of the Latino Fellowship invites all members of the Calvary community to join us tomorrow, Monday, September 1, at 9:30 a.m. in Rock Creek Park at Park Watch (Tilden Road between Beach Drive and Shoemaker Street) for soccer, family games and a roast beef picnic. For more information see or call Corina Lopez, 202 628 9319. WMS meets Tuesday, September 2, 10:30 a.m. to begin our year, rolling bandages for hospitals in the Third World. EVERYONE is welcome—bring a sandwich; dessert is provided. We need lots of worn sheets for this ongoing project, so bring torn or worn sheets to the church office, marked for WMS. Thanks for your help. SERVICE OF MOURNING This ecumenical service will be held Wednesday, September 3, 6:00 p.m. in the Calvary Sanctuary. Weeks of overwhelming destruction have resulted in suffering, the loss of life, devastated land, homes, and infrastructure. The siege of Gaza and the military occupation of Palestinian territory cripple normal life. As the people of the region cry, “How long, O Lord?”, we join our prayers with theirs in a service of worship. In the midst of sorrow and grief, please join us in a witness to faith, hope and love. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6: MARKING 150 YEARS ON THIS CORNER. According to Chronicles of Calvary Baptist Church in the City of Washington (Wilbur, 1914): “A lot was selected at the southeast corner of H and Eighth Streets, and September 6, 1864, the corner-stone of the first meeting-house of Calvary Church was laid.” (Two years later, that original building was destroyed by fire, on December 15, 1867). Congratulations, Calvary, on another 150th milestone!
THE POWER OF SPIRITUALS IN WORD AND SONG, 2:00 P.M. NEXT SUNDAY. Join us after worship on Sunday, September 7, for lunch in Woodward Hall ($10 suggested contribution) followed by a very special concert program in the Chapel. We welcome Dr. Eileen Guenther, Professor of Church Music at Wesley Theological Seminary, who currently is completing a book on the power of spirituals. Calvary’s staff soloists are our featured artists: Amelia Taylor, Teresa Ferrara, Dwayne Pinkney and Zain Shariff. Invite your friends and family to attend this special day at Calvary, to celebrate the start of the 2014-2015 church programming season and to remember the 150th anniversary of the laying of the first Calvary cornerstone, right here on Eighth and H Streets NW. The Civil War period is the birthplace not only of Calvary Church but also the vast repertoire of spirituals. Everyone here at Calvary loves this music—you don’t want to miss this powerful program. VOLUNTEERS are needed to provide food or to serve supper at Calvary Women's Shelter on Sunday, September 14. If you can help, see Claudia Moore today following worship, or email cjmoorekn@aol.com.
