September 13, 2015 - Markham Woods Presbyterian

September 13, 2015 11:00 a.m.
It is our expressed hope that in this time we might offer worship which
celebrates Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in a format which is both
Biblically-based and contextually relevant. We invite you to join us in
God-directed, life-giving praise and worship of our God!
The Guide for Today:
5 B4
Five minutes before worship is when we start to center
ourselves for worship. Consider reading the meditative reflection
on the next panel. We encourage those fully engaged in this
community of faith and those just looking, to gather for worship. We
begin by setting the frame of our vision and welcome all in song.
The words to the songs are always on the screens.
 children’s message
 greeting in the name of our Lord
 music Feel free to stand, sit, kneel, dance or sing. We encourage
you to participate in today’s worship.
Because of You—Eddie James

MEDITATIVE PREPARATION FOR WORSHIPPING GOD
“All men dream but not equally, those men that dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, awaken to find that it was but vanity. But those who dream
by day, these are the dangerous men, for they dream with their eyes open to make
sure that their dreams come true.” T.E. Lawrence

CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison)
Disturb us, O Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves; When our
dreams come true only because we have dreamed too little; When we
arrive safely only because we sailed too close to the shore;
When with the abundance of things, we are losing our thirst for more of
God; When in loving time, we have ceased to dream of eternity; When in
our desire to build on this earth we have lost our vision of a new heaven.
Forgive us, and disturb us. (We now pause to offer our silent confessions)
