6. WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY
Today we join in one voice with the diverse communities of our Christian faith around the world. Together with men, women, teens and children in every nation, we jointly lift our praise and thanksgiving to the Lord. We do this through music, prayer, proclamation of the Word, responding from our personal resources, and joining around the Communion Table. Together we will remember the death, the resurrection and the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8. World Communion Sunday
THE CALL TO WORSHIP
World Communion Sunday
[ Pastor / CONGREGATION ]
Jesus calls us to unity when He says to us:
“WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED
IN MY NAME, I AM WITH THEM;” (Matthew 18:20)
Again, Jesus pleads for unity
when He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane:
“THAT THEY MAY ALL BE ONE;” (John 17:21)

9. The first century Church sets the example
for us to be ONE with each other:
“THOSE WHO BELIEVED
WERE OF ONE HEART AND MIND;” (Acts 4:32)
The Apostle calls for us to be ONE with each other:
“THERE IS ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT;
THERE IS ONE LORD, ONE FAITH,
ONE BAPTISM;
THERE IS ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL,
WHO IS OVER ALL,
THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL.” (Ephesians 4:4-6)

10. THAT ONE IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, REDEEMER,
We lift up our praise and thanksgiving to God for the One who brings all believers everywhere into one body, from all cultures, all races, and all generations:
THAT ONE IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR,
JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, REDEEMER,
WHO WAS CRUCIFIED, RISEN
AND IS COMING AGAIN !

11. THE OPENING HYMN
#401
THE CHURCH’S
ONE FOUNDATION

12. (1)
The Church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord.
She is His new creation
by water and the word.
From heaven He came
and sought her
to be His holy bride.
With His own blood He bought her,
and for her life He died.

13. (2)
Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.

14. (3)
Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore:
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.

15. (4)
Yet she on earth has union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally.

16. THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
SILENT PRAYERS OF
THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON

17. world without end. Amen. Amen.
‘THE GLORIA PATRI’
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.
GREEK
Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι,
καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν. Ἀμήν.
LATIN
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Amen.

18. THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

19. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic1 Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen
1- catholic means “universal”

21. THE HOLY SCRIPTURE: Philippians 2:1-11
Read by Dick Evanson
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like‑minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

22. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself and became obedient to death ‑‑ even death on a cross!

23. Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

NO EAST OR WEST’

Two Dutch Reformed verses added - (3) & (4)

40. (1)
In Christ there is no East or West
In Him no South or North;
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
(2)
In Him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close binding humankind.

41. (3)
It is by grace we are assured
that we belong to Him;
The love we share in Christ our Lord
His Spirit works within.
(4)
In Christ there is no East or West,
He breaks all barriers down;
By Christ redeemed, By Christ possessed,
In Christ we live as one.

42. (5)
Join hands then everyone of faith
What-e’er your place may be;
Who serves my Father as a child,
Is surely kin to me.
(6)
In Christ now meet both East and West
In Him meet South and North.
All Christly souls are one in Him
Throughout the whole wide earth.
