When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.

* RESPONSIVE ACT OF PRAISE All singing:
And our defense is sure!
Leader:
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn us back to dust, and say, “Turn back, you mortals.” For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night. You sweep them away; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning; in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
People: All: Leader: People:
O God, Our Help In Ages Past A paraphrase of Psalm 90, Isaac Watts’ hymn text was part of a larger compilation of Psalms set to Christian verse (1719). John Wesley included the text with modifications in his hymnal Psalms and Hymns, edits which remain today. Jesus, Remember Me A musical setting, from the Taize tradition, of Luke 23:42. Taize choruses, often sung with several repetitions, foster a contemplative, prayerful mode, and are utilized at the monthly Taize service held at St. Luke’s. Jesus Loves Me / How Great Thou Art This arrangement combines two very familiar hymns, utilizing the technique of quodlibet (two different melodies played at the same time). He Never Failed Me Yet In true Gospel style, Robert Ray’s anthem celebrates God’s faithfulness and deliverance, recalling Biblical stories of rescue as well as personal testimony. Make Me a Captive, Lord This text utilizes a sustained use of paradox which amplifies the New Testament concept of freedom, which can be achieved only by being a servant, or prisoner, of Christ (see 2 Cor. 12:9-10). By their cumulative effect the contrasts between "captive" and "free"; "sink" and "stand"; "my own" and "thine"; "unbent" and "leaned" grip our imagination and powerfully affirm our servanthood to Christ.
