Order of Service for August 29, 2021

Call to Worship (Psalm 15)

Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbour,
and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
but honours those who fear the Lord.

Election of Elders: What will I do as an elder? As an elder you look to Jesus for direction, striving to serve and lead the congregation to further the church’s mission and the reign of Christ in the world. It is important to take the time to read the Bible and to pray, alone and with others. Elders attend Session meetings where they participate in decision making related to the congregation. Elders have responsibilities such as staying in touch with members, representing the congregation at presbytery, participating in search committee deliberations, or helping lead worship.
