Liturgy for wherever you are

21st Sunday of Pentecost | October 22nd, 2023

Genesis 18:1-15

welcome to WORSHIP

Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ.

Oh Give Thanks

Judith McAllister

Oh give thanks unto the Lord
For God is good, yes God is good
Oh give thanks unto the Lord
For God is good, yes God is good

For God is worthy, worthy.
For God is good, yes God is good
For God is worthy, worthy.
For God is good, yes God is good

Every Praise

Hezekiah Walker | John David Bratton

Every praise is to our God
Every word of worship with one accord
Every praise every praise is to our God
Sing hallelujah to our God
Glory hallelujah is due our God
Every praise every praise is to our God

God my Savior
God my Healer
God my Deliverer
Yes He is yes He is

Every praise is to our God
Every word of worship with one accord
Every praise every praise
Every praise every praise
Every praise every praise is to our God

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Public Domain

Great is Thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with Thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been
Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Lindsay welcomed us and invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Warren called us into worship. Jon led us in a communal prayer written by Bri. Charles read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching. Chip invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Ian provided the offertory. Our other musicians this morning were Leslie, Warren, Tilli, Rick and Scott. John Jay reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie offered a special blessing for Harriet and John Jay offered up the benediction. Leslie oversaw the production while Harriet worked her technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.

Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
