Bulletin Greensburg Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Order of Worship – 13 Sept. 2026
In your Prayers Remember 9/11 – 25 Year ago
Candle Lighting: Acolytes
Greeting: Liturgist: Session Clerk Sandi Moran
Passing the Peace:
One: “The Lord Be with you”,
Many: “And Also with You”. (Greet one Another) ALL
(We Pass the Peace Not Because there is Peace but Because Jesus Promises “There Will be”)
Call to Worship: (Inspired by Psalm 91, Psalm 46, and John 15) Liturgist, Sherra Rogers
One: Twenty-five years ago, the foundations of our world were shaken, and we learned how quickly lives can change. Yet, the Scriptures remind us: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
Many: Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth should change, and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea.
One: We gather in the memory of innocent lives lost, families forever altered, and the deep grief that many still carry. In our sorrow, we turn to the ultimate source of comfort.
Many: Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.
One: We remember the overwhelming darkness of that day, but we also remember the brilliant light of selflessness—the first responders, public servants, and ordinary citizens who laid down their lives for others. As Jesus taught us: "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
Many: May their courage inspire us to love as Jesus loved us, to heal what is broken, and to break down the walls that divide us.
One: Today, we do not anchor our security in the structures of this world. We make the ancient declaration of Psalm 91 our own: "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" (Psalm 91:1-2)
Many: The Lord is our rock, our defense, and our guide. In Him alone we place our hope for the future.
One: Come, let us lay our grief, our prayers for peace, and our praises before our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, The King of Kings and the giver of Peace.
All: Let us worship God together in spirit and in truth!

HYMNS
I Am Thine, O Lord
1) I am Thine, O Lord I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me; But I long
to rise in the arms of faith And be closer drawn to Thee.
CHORUS: Draw me
nearer, nearer, blessed Lord. To the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me
nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To Thy precious bleeding side.
2) Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the power of grace divine; Let my
soul look up with a steadfast hope And my will be lost in Thine. REPEAT
CHORUS
3) O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend, When I
kneel in prayer and with Thee, my God I commune as friend with friend.
REPEAT CHORUS
4) There are depths of love that I cannot know, ‘Til I cross the narrow sea; There
are heights of joy that I may not reach ‘Til I rest in peace with Thee. REPEAT
CHORUS
………………………….
Father, I Adore Thee
1) Father, I adore You, Lay my life before You, How I love You.
