  12. PRAYER OF TRANSFORMATION

  13. HYMN • O Worship the King, • all Glorious Above! • (verses 1, 2, 4, 5) • # 476 in the Blue Hymnals

  14. O worship the King, all glorious above!O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

  15. O tell of God's might, O sing of God's grace,Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,His chariots of heaven the deep thunderclouds form,And bright is God's path on the wings of the storm.

  16. Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

  17. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend.

  18. PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS – • (in unison) • Adapted from • St. Augustine of Hippo • (354-430)

  19. Almighty God, • you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in you. Grant us purity of heart and strength of purpose, that no selfish passion may hinder us from knowing your will, and no weakness hinder • us from doing it;

  20. but that in your light we may see light, and in your service find our perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.

  30. The Roots of our Dis-ease Where We Get Off-Track Genesis 3:1-15 Genesis 3:1-15

  31. Thanksgiving for the Word

  32. O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: We praise You for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age.

  33. Scripture Readings — Genesis 3:1-15 (Old Testament, Page 2 in NRSV pew Bible)

  34. Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

  35. The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’”

  36. But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

  37. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate;

  38. and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

  39. They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

  40. But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” He said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

  41. He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.”

  42. Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”  The Lord God said to the serpent,

  43. “Because you have done this,    cursed are you among all animals and among all wild creatures; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

  44. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”
