Our faith is preached, sung, prayed, confessed, and lived.

Our theology is also shaped by what we do and what
we say when we come together to worship. The actual
structure of the liturgy (work of the people) also shapes
our faith. You will note the Trinitarian content is proclaimed
in several ways throughout the opening hymn, Holy, Holy,
Holy. The concept is further underscored by several
groups of threes. E.g. the thrice holy, which wert, and
art, and evermore shall be, perfect in power, in love,
and purity, and in earth, and sky, and sea. The Call to
Prayer, Spirit of the Living God, was actually written here
at First Presbyterian Church in 1926 by Daniel Iverson, a
Presbyterian minister, during an evangelism crusade. He
had been impressed by one of the messages and came
away to a quiet place (here) to write out the melody and
the lyrics. The hymn was sung at the crusade and then
printed into leaflets for additional use. The song continued
to spread throughout the country and world. The tune we
sing tonight is the original tune and text he wrote.

In the days of the Older Testament the Israelites were

signaled by the sound of the shofar, a rams horn that
was played like a trumpet. Of the many interpretations,
one was that it signaled a meeting with God. (Moses
on Mt. Sinai.) The Call to Worship, whether said or
sung functions in the same manner. It is a calling of
the congregation to come together to commence our
worship of God. During the Organ Meditation, we have
had the opportunity to focus our hearts and prepare
to meet with God during the next minutes. The text for
the Call to Worship is often from the Psalms as many
of them were written for this very purpose. The Call to
Worship today is based on the second phrase of Now
Thank We All Our God and Psalm 95. This summoning to
worship is the time when a group of individuals become
one community of worshipers. We are no longer many
individuals in a sanctuary, but the people of God lifting
their voices as one voice in the worship of our great
God and Redeemer. We are invited by God the Father
into his presence through his Son Jesus in the power of
the Holy Spirit. This is the best invitation youll receive
all week!
