of God. Please silence all cell phones and pagers. Asterisk * indicates that you may sit
or stand. We have two books of congregational song. “Psalter” indicates Psalms for All
Seasons, and “Hymn” indicates Glory to God.

*Introit
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Prayer of Confession
Psalm 146:1-2
St. Kevin
Eternal God,
in whom we live and move and have our being,
whose face is hidden from us by our sins,
and whose mercy we forget in the blindness of our hearts:
cleanse us from all our offenses,
and deliver us from proud thoughts and vain desires,
that with reverent and humble hearts
we may draw near to you,
confessing our faults,
confiding in your grace,
and finding in you our refuge and strength;
through Jesus Christ your Son. Amen.
Assurance of Forgiveness
Sisters and brothers in Christ,
hear and believe the good news of the Gospel.
In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
Thanks be to God.
Words of Welcome

Prayer for Illumination
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God all my life long.
Come, praise the Lord!
*Response of Praise
My Dancing Day
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day:
I would my true love did so chance
to see the legend of my play,
to call my true love to my dance:
sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
this have I done for my true love.
Before Pilate the people me brought,
where Barabbas had deliverance;
they scourged me, and set me at nought,
judged me to die to lead the dance.
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
this have I done for my true love.
11:00 Children preK/Age 4-grade 3 may now leave for Worship Explorers.
At the end of worship, parents pick up children in room 301.

Be Not Afraid
Hymn 243
Lord, open our hearts and minds

Amen.
First Scripture Lesson
Sermon *Hymn 244
Then on the cross hanged I was,
where a spear to my heart did glance;
there issued forth both water and blood,
to call my true love to my dance.
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
this have I done for my true love.
Then down to hell I took my way
for my true love’s deliverance,
and rose again on the third day,
up to my true love and the dance.
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
this have I done for my true love.
Then up to heaven I did ascend,
where now I dwell in sure substance,
on the right hand of God, that all
may come unto the general dance:
sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love;
this have I done for my true love.
Psalm 4 (pg 490)
Second Scripture Lesson
Luke 24:1-12 (pg 90)

*Affirmation of Faith
Book of Common Worship
This is the good news which we have received,
in which we stand,
and by which we are saved,
if we hold it fast:
that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures,
that he was buried,
that he was raised on the third day,
and that he appeared
first to the women,
then to Peter, and to the Twelve,
and then to many faithful witnesses.
We believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God.
Jesus Christ is the first and the last,
the beginning and the end;
he is our Lord and our God. Amen.
arr. David Cherwien

General Information
To order CDs of worship services stop by the sound room following the service; if you ordered CDs of services, please pick them up in the sound room after
worship; or order CDs of today’s service mailed anywhere in the USA. The cost
is $4 if picked up, $5 if mailed.
Mailing address or E-mail changes should be updated on My Nassau, or sent
to [email protected] as soon as the change is known. This will insure
timely receipt of schedule changes, special events, and other communication

Parking: The parking lot next to the church is small. As such, during normal
business hours, parking is reserved for staff with exceptions for handicapped
parking with an official permit. Any other parking in the lot during business
hours is by a parking permit obtained from the office and displayed on the vehicle’s dashboard.
Online Giving: Electronic giving by credit/debit card or electronic check is available by selecting “Give Now” at www.nassauchurch.org. Donations by credit or

the convenience of using a card, please consider increasing your gift to help defray
this cost.

above). Per capita represents the denominational costs related to the General
Assembly, the Synod of the Northeast, and New Brunswick Presbytery. The
funds are utilized for both mission and administrative expense. Please consider
donating your or your family's Per Capita assessment to help defray this
cost which totals $37,680 for Nassau Presbyterian Church.

to our side door. An elevator is located near the ramp entrance and goes both up
to the 2nd floor and to the lower basement floor. We also have two wheelchairs
