Weekly Recommended Resource 

Calvin for Armchair 

Theologians 

by Christopher Elwood 

“This is as winsome introduction 

to John Calvin as one can find. 

It is brief, but covers the whole 

range of his life and theology. It 

is not only lucid, but also written 

in a lively style. The analysis is 

accurate and faithful to Calvin, 

and at the same time post-Calvin 

developments — “Calvin’s children” 

— are related in a suggestive way 

to Calvin’s own life and thought.” 

— I. John Hesselink, Albertus C 

Van Raalte Professor of Systematic 

Theology Emeritus, Western 

Theological Seminary

experience for you. If, during the service, your child needs attention, the Parlor (Room 3319) is 

available to you. The room is equipped with comfortable furniture and closed-circuit TV so you 

can continue to participate in the worship service while tending to the needs of your child.

Welcome to worship! 

Today is Kirkin’ 

O’ the Tartans, a 

celebration of the 

Scottish heritage 

of the Presbyterian 

Church. Our worship 

will be a celebration 

of the great tradition 

that shapes who we 

are today. 

Based on Rev. 4:8, 

Holy, Holy, Holy was 

written by Anglican 

minister, poet and 

Bishop of Calcutta, 

Reginald Heber, just 

one year before he 

died in 1826 at the 

age of 43. Notice the 

descriptions of God 

and the magnificent 

picture of heavenly 

worship around God’s 

throne. As we join that 

heavenly worship, for 

what do you praise 

God today What do 

you bring with you to 

worship that you need 

to give to God

Chiming of the Hour 

Call to Worship 

Prayer of Adoration 

GIVE PRAISE TO GOD 

**Hymn of Praise 

Holy, Holy, Holy............................................................................... NICAEA 

Prayer of Confession 

Almighty God, with our lips we easily acknowledge that 

you are Lord of all things. You are Lord of history, guiding 

nations and rulers. You are Lord of the created world, 

giving sun and rain and changing the seasons. And yet 

we fail to recognize you as Lord of the small things that 

concern us. We doubt your power over our jobs and 

relationships. We question your interest in our illnesses 

and heartaches. Forgive our small vision of who you are. 

Remind us that all power, glory and honor belong to you. 

Open our eyes that we might see your mighty hand at 

work in this world and in our lives. Hear us now as we 

continue our confession in silence . . . 

Assurance of God’s Forgiveness 

*Those who are able, please stand. **Ushers will seat latecomers at this time. 


*Declaring Our Faith 

The Nicene Creed 

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker 

of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and 

invisible. 

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, 

begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of 

Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one 

substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. 

Originally crafted 

in 325 AD at the 

Council of Nicaea, 

this creed is the 

most ecumenical of 

creeds shared by 

Eastern Orthodox, 

Roman Catholic, 

and most Protestant 

churches. The 

version printed here 

was finalized in 

381 AD. 

Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from 

heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin 

Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under 

Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day 

He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended 

into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; 

and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick 

and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. 

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; 

who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the 

Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who 

spoke by the prophets. 

And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I 

acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look 

for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to 

come. Amen. 

*Congregational Response 

Gloria Patri (all singing) .....................................................greatorex 

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. 

**Life of the Congregation 

Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans 

The Tartan Procession (please remain seated) 



The Tartan Presentation 

On behalf of Scots everywhere, we raise this Tartan before 

Almighty God in appreciation of our heritage, and ask His 

blessing on His servants. In the name of the Father, and of 

the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

*Hymn Amazing Grace...................................................................NEW BRITAIN 

See page 9 

An introduction will be played by the bagpipes. The 

congregation will then join in the singing of the five stanzas 

of the hymn. The bagpipes will accompany on the first four 

stanzas. 

The Tartan Recession (please be seated) 

**Life of the Congregation 

Pastoral Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. 

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day our daily bread, 

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, 

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil 

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. 

Amen. 

Mendelssohn loved 

Scotland. On his 

first trip there, he 

wrote to a friend 

“God is so kind 

in Edinburgh”, 

and he spent 3 

weeks hiking the 

highlands. He 

premiered his 

“Scottish” (3rd) 

Symphony in 1842, 

four years before 

the Elijah oratorio. 

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 1 :3-14 

(pew Bible, pages 1817-1818) 

Pastor: This is the word of the Lord. 

All: Thanks be to God. 

Offering Our Gifts 

Offertory And Then Shall Your Light Break Forth 

from Elijah,..........................................................Felix Mendelssohn 

The Chancel Choir 

And then, then shall your light break forth 

as the light of morning breaketh 

And your health shall speedily spring forth then. 

And the glory of the Lord ever shall reward you! 

Lord, our Creator, how excellent thy name is in all the nations, 

Amen!

Despite threats 

on his life, Martin 

Luther worked 

to reestablish 

the centrality 

of Scripture, to 

clarify the means 

of our salvation 

and to restore

on Psalm 46, A 

Mighty Fortress,
