Order of Worship Service—June 24, 11am Pentecost Sunday#3 (Printable PDF)
(Video will be posted LIVE on the church’s FB page at 11am. Livestream will be cross-posted here ASAP once the livestream starts)
PRELUDE: Two Dances (St. Patrick’s Breastplate, Dierdre)- Thomas Keesecker
Note from Emily: these two hymns are done together. The combined hymn is extremely lengthy, but I’ve included a bit of text; if you have the Glory to God hymnal, they are #6.
I bind unto myself today the strong name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same, the three in one, the one in three.
I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun’s life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
CALL TO WORSHIP
HYMN: Glory to God#315 In the Midst of New Dimensions (refrain only after stanza 1 and 5(last stanza)
CONFESSION OF SIN –repeat as in wedding vows
I confess my naiveté to the privileges I have held since birth
because of the color of my skin.
I can eat in any restaurant
and not worry if I will be served
with respect and dignity
because of my race.
I can be sure I haven’t been singled out
because of my race
if a traffic police officer pulls me over.
I can turn on the television
or open to the front page of the paper
and see people of my race widely represented.
I can walk into a classroom and know
I will not be the only member of my race.
I can take a job or enroll in a college
with an affirmative action policy
without having my co-workers or peers
assume I got it because of my race.
I am never asked to speak
for all of the people of my racial group.
This situation of unequal institutional power
has to stop.
Lord have mercy.
Jesus, come quickly.
We need your transformative ideas and power now.
Amen.
