LEADER: My soul is cast down within me, therefore I remember you From the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

ALL: Deep calls to deep at the thunder of your cataracts; all your waves and your billows have gone over me.

LEADER: By day the Lord commands his steadfast

love; and at night God’s song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me?

ALL: Hope in God whom again I shall praise, my help and my God. Refrain: Lead, kindly Light, my help and faithful God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, And to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.

World without end. Amen. Amen.

LEADER: Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me?

Refrain: Lead, kindly Light, my help and faithful God.

All: We are not alone, we live in God’s world.

We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit.

We trust in God. We are called to be the church: to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.

In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us.

We are not alone.

Thanks be to God.

ANTHEM

ALL: These things I remember as I pour out my soul: How I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, With glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

ALL: Hope in God whom again I shall praise, my help and my God.

* OFFERTORY PRAYER SCRIPTURE | 1 Kings 19:1-9 Lori Thomas (8AM) Leanne Jackson (9:15AM) Ellen Hostetler (11AM) Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah; he left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree.

He asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.” He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. The angel of the LORD came a second time, touched him, and said, “Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you.” He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. At that place he came to a cave, and spent the night there. Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

MESSAGE

PRAYER TIME & THE LORD’S PRAYER 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
