Call to Worship
Leader: Let us start this service well, by reminding ourselves that, old or young, it is not we who chose Christ,
People: but Christ who chose us.
Leader: That we are not here because of our goodness
People: but because of Christ’s grace.
Leader: That we are not here to enlighten ourselves,
People: but to allow Christ to enlighten us.
Leader: That we have not come to be entertained
People: but to worship God with heart and soul, mind and strength.
*Opening Hymn 307 God of Grace and God of Glory
(all 4 verses)
Prayer of Confession
Leader: Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
People: We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
Leader: In your mercy, let us know your forgiveness for what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be.
People: Let us always delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.
(Silent Confession)
Leader: Amen.
Assurance of Forgiveness
Liturgist: Do not fear, says the Lord, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name; you are precious in my sight, I love you, and I have claimed you as my own.
Pastor: Friends, see – God is doing a new thing; now it springs forth! By the grace of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!
People: Thanks be to God!
*Response Hymn I Will Praise the Lord
The Joyful Noise
Congregation join on refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia! I will praise God’s Holy name
Alleluia! Alleluia! I will praise God’s Holy name
*Blessing One Another with the Peace
Leader: The peace of Christ be with you!
People: And also with you!
For a number of reasons, people may not always feel comfortable shaking hands. We understand that and want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome here – so during the Passing of the Peace, if you choose to not shake hands, simply smile, and wave or nod your head as a sign of peace to others.
Children of all ages are invited to come to the front pew (alone or with a parent) during the Passing of the Peace. Following The Time with Young Disciples, they will be led to the children’s space in the back of the sanctuary or parents may take any children 5 years or younger to Grace Place.
Prayer for Illumination
First Reading – Liturgist
Hebrews 4:12-16
Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account. Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Leader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God!
Second Reading
Mark 10:17-31
As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’” He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were greatly astounded and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.”
Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
Leader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God!

Presentation
At the appropriate time during the Presentation, the congregation will be asked to make the following affirmation:
We, as members of the church of Jesus Christ, promise to guide and nurture Josh by word and deed, with love and prayer, encouraging him to know and follow Christ and to be a faithful member of his church.
Profession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Announcements
Welcome!
Here at Springdale Presbyterian Church, we believe that we’re called to the ministry of love and reconciliation in the world through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that includes everyone. We believe that the diversity of our world is a gift from God to be embraced. We celebrate our human family’s full diversity of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, spiritual or faith history, economic status, marital status, physical and mental ability, and education. We welcome all who have previously known the pain of exclusion, discrimination, abuse, or intolerance in either the church or society.
We affirm that all people are created in the image of God, are loved by God, are called by God, and are deserving of love and human dignity. Because of that, we welcome all people into full participation in the life of the church.
Children Childcare is provided during worship for children 5 and younger at Grace Place (rooms 204/208 on the main level, across from the Choir Room.) So that children may connect with worship, we hope they will sit with their families until the Passing of the Peace when they are invited to come and be on the front row until the Blessing of Disciples. Then they may return to their families or come to the back of the sanctuary where they may color, draw, write, etc. Children will be guided to their families before communion or the offering.
A note for our hearing-impaired visitors Hearing assist devices are available at our Welcome Desk - an usher can help you obtain one.
Now that you’re here, let us know about it Please take a moment to sign your in the attendance pads. There is an attendance pad located on the aisle side of each pew. Please include your name, and if you’re a first-time visitor and would like to know more about our congregation, please also include your email address, postal address, or phone number, and we’ll be sure to follow up with you.
We all love our phones… and we’re flattered if you feel so moved that you want to make a real-time tweet or Facebook post during the service - but please remember to set your phones to vibrate or silent, to be courteous to others. You surely wouldn’t want to be “that person” whose phone rings in the middle of the service. And of course, if you receive an emergency call that you must take, please move to the gathering space, outside the sanctuary, to take it.

IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!! Building & Grounds
On occasion, we have groups that rent our Fellowship Hall. Usually they are members of the church. At times, they are not members of our church. When groups or individuals from outside our church want to rent the Fellowship Hall, we have a fee. That fee covers provision of security and safety to the church and the group. We are looking to develop a list of members of the church that would be interested in “working” during any of these times. The “work” is very minimal. Basically, you let the people in, offer assistance and direction for whatever set up they may have. Then monitor the church during their time, making sure no one goes into areas they are not supposed to be in or that they are not doing anything they should not be doing. Then monitoring and minimal assistance with their clean up. A cleaning deposit is also paid and if they properly clean the areas used after use, they get that money back.
This position will pay $20/hour for the time the FH is being used (includes set up, event and clean up). If interested in having your name on the list, please provide your name and good contact numbers and email to Steve Martiny (kyvols@hayoo.com) and/or Larry Weishaar (502-241-5804 or lweishaar@rescare.com )
All Saints’ Sunday — November 4th
We will observe All Saints’ Sunday on November 4th, during our regular worship service. During this time we will remember saints in our own lives as well as saints within the church and the world.
We invite you, on this day to bring in photographs of loved ones who cannot be at the service for whatever reason. It could be because of death or distance...whatever. We will display these photographs around the sanctuary so that we are surrounded by family.
We will also remember all of those members who have passed away since All Saints’ Day 2017, as well as any others whom you would like to remember. Each person will be listed in the bulletin. They will also be named during the service, and when their name is called, a family member (or members) will be invited to come forward and light a small candle in their memory.
If you would like to have a person included in our remembrance, please let the office know. You can call 502-425-1760 or email the office, mjablonski@springdalechurch.org with the information.

Friends, please remember if you're signed up to be a server/assistant of any kind during worship and you have a schedule conflict and can't make it, you need to make arrangements for your own substitute, and let us know who that will be. Thanks!
