Prelude 

"How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place”,  J. Brahms

Cathedral Singers

How lovely is Thy dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts.
For my soul, it longeth, yea, fainteth for the courts of the Lord.
My soul and body crieth out, yea, for the living God.
O blest are they that dwell within Thy house;
They praise Thy name evermore.

Welcome Pastor Michael Hayes

 

Ringing of the Bell

 

Ascension Greeting 

Pastor:  Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy.
People:  For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, a great King over all the earth.
Pastor:  He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named.
People:  And He put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Pastor:  God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.
People:  God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises! — based on Psalm 47:1-2, 7, 8; Ephesians 1:21-22

Opening Hymn “A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing”

verses 1 and 2
A hymn of glory let us sing! New hymns throughout the world shall ring:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Christ, by a road before untrod, Ascends unto the throne of God.
Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

The holy apostolic band Upon the Mount of Olives stand.
Alleluia, alleluia!
And with His faithful foll’wers see Their Lord ascend in majesty.
Alleluia, alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Prayer

Pastor:  Let us pray.
Eternal God, mighty in the heavens, You brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, lifting Him to life and drawing Him up into the glory He shares with You and the Holy Spirit.
Stretch our minds and hearts toward Your majestic love. Raise our eyes, lift our heads, expand our vision of You and Your sovereign purposes in the world that rest upon the strength of our ascended Lord.
People:  Amen.
 

Confession

Pastor:  Almighty God, you have raised Jesus from the grave and crowned Him Lord of all.
We confess that we have not bowed before Him or acknowledged His rule in our lives.
We have gone along with the way of the world and failed to give Him glory. Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be Your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and is head of the church, His body.
People:  Amen.

Absolution 

Pastor:  Hear the good news of the gospel: God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
In Christ, by God’s grace, we are saved. — based on Ephesians 2:4-9
People:  Amen. 

Hymn of Praise  “Crown Him with Many Crowns”

verses 1 and 4
Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark how the heav’nly anthem drowns All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless king Through all eternity.

Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die.

First Reading Acts 1:1-11 NIV

1In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Pastor: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God!

Anthem  “With a Voice of Singing”,  M. Shaw

Cathedral Singers

With a voice of singing declare ye this, and let it be heard:
“Alleluia!”
Utter it even unto the ends of the earth.
The Lord hath delivered His people. Alleluia!
O be joyful in God, all ye lands, O sing praises to the honor of His name,
Make His praise to be glorious.
With a voice of singing declare ye this, and let it be heard:
“Alleluia!”

Holy Gospel Luke 24:44-53 NIV

44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
Pastor: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God!

Hymn of the Day “Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious”

Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious;
 See the Man of Sorrows now!
From the fight returned victorious,
 Ev’ry knee to Him shall bow.
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crowns become the victor’s brow.
Crowns become the victor’s brow.

Crown the Savior! Angels, crown Him!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
On the seat of pow’r enthrone Him
While the vault of heaven rings.
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.
Crown the Savior King of kings.

Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior’s claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name.
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the victor’s fame.
Spread abroad the victor’s fame.

Hark, those bursts of acclamation!
Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
Oh, what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings and Lord of lords!
King of kings and Lord of lords!

Prayers of the Church - Ascension  Sunday 2021

Arm yourself with prayer, and remember that before all else, the disciple prays. We know what happens when one person prays, how important it is that many hearts join together as one to pray.
As one body we pray:

For creation and its care
For the nations of the world that there would be peace
For our nation and its leaders
For this community and those in authority
For those who care, serve, and protect
For our church and its ministry
For our families and friends
For those who do not yet know you

---

 

Lord when we read of the saints of old, and the witnesses they were to you, our hearts burn to be like them. Help us to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown. Give us faith like the apostles to go forth with your word, with your love, with your hope and break fresh ground with you. Whatever you have asked of us, you will fit us for the work and give us strength and the power of your Spirit: send us out to be your witnesses.

Open our hearts O Lord and send us: The victory is not in our doors opening back up, but in the hearts of those who do not yet believe being open to your word, that the doors that have been closed by the evil one will be burst open and your gospel will be received. Send us out to be your witnesses.

Lord we look to you and bring you our worship, but may we not stop there. May we take what you have given to us and share it with the world. For your work did not stop in your ascension but you continue to this day and send us out - for in you there is reconciliation, refreshment, purpose, and comfort. Send us to pray, to serve, to love those who cannot defend themselves. Use us as your instruments of peace and healing. Send us to be advocates and to care for the abused, the marginalized, the hurting. Send us out to be your witnesses.

For many in our midst Lord, they are experiencing pain, isolation, and sickness. We ask that you bring healing and wholeness to —
Tracee Brewster, Oren Ames, Gene and Andrea Kastner Sego, Shirley Stickney, Sheri Wayne, Brian King, Dot Stalter, Chuck Stalter, Eric Von Behren, Carole Keane, Jennifer Emery, Tammy Sumner, Steve Lincoln, Joe Columbo, Sarah Andrews, Sabrina Green, Vivian Cardenas, Faye Janovich, Joanne Peart, Marie Viorel, Porter Goggins, Bree Page, Millie Seetin-Arroya, the Hoot Family and Passler family, And those we name in our hearts… Lord be also with those suffering prolonged illness, depression, anxiety and pain we lift up by name — Keri Toghia, Suzanne Micklos, Kathy Walker, Rose Higgins, Eric Reed, Marcella James, Patty Wilson, Ron May, Eric Klein, Tammy Somers, Treva Hensley, Jim Prentice, Kathi Taylor, Betty Johnson, Richard Johnson, Karen Teague, Bill Casper, Frank Deptola, Jim Lawrie, Margaret Strick, Ken Strick, Denise Weyhrich, Linda Blakesley, Jennifer Hoots, Kate Andrews, Julie Molesky, Catherine Khenvsan, Carlos Page, Tony Fontana.  Cure those who face illnesses, bring peace to troubled minds, hope to broken spirits and fill all with your love and presence so that they may be whole.

Lord we rejoice that, Harlow Wren Henry and Boone Ward Henry, children of James & Kelsey Henry, and Anna Elizabeth Torres, daughter of Ryan & Jenna Torres, have been baptized into your name. Bless them, Father and grant that they may grow each day in the faith and love of Christ Jesus our Lord. May your hand of blessing always be upon them as the walk in the light of Christ and newness of life.

Lord today we rejoice with Florence Morrow, celebrating her 100th birthday. May she continue to be a source of Joy to her family and an inspiration to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and all who know her. We thank you for her strong faith, for her commitment to you, and the love she shows. We ask that you continue to bless her and ask that this day be a wonderful celebration.

Lord we give you thanks and praise for the many who confirm their faith today - For our Confirmation class and the new members who boldly declare the hope they have in you. May they continue to build their life on the rock that is Jesus Christ. Strengthen them and embolden them to live each day by your mercy, your grace, your power.

Into your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy; through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
