Second Sunday in Lent
Morning Worship
Nine o’clock and eleven o'clock
PRELUDE
Prelude and Fugue in B Minor
Charles Echols, organist
Johann Sebastian Bach
The prelude is a time for silent, prayerful preparation for the worship of God.
INTROIT
O Lord, turn not Thy Face from them
O Lord, turn not Thy Face from them,
Who lie in woeful state,
Lamenting all their sinful lives,
Before Thy mercy gate.
Vincent Persichetti
A gate which opens wide to those
That do lament their sin;
Shut not that gate against me, Lord,
But let me enter in.
Have mercy, now, upon my soul,
Hear this my humble prayer;
For mercy, Lord, is all my suit,
O let Thy mercy spare. Amen.
*°PROCESSIONAL HYMN 488

°DOXOLOGY (See inside front cover of the hymnal for all sung responses.)
Minister: Let us bow down in prayer. (The Congregation now sits)
Draw nigh to us, O God, as we draw nigh to Thee.
People: (Sung) Thou art our refuge and our strength forever.
INVOCATION (Sung Amen)
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Minister: I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord.
People: (Sung) And Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
Minister and People: Merciful God, you pardon all who truly repent
and turn to you. We humbly confess our sins and ask your mercy.
We have not loved you with a pure heart, nor have we loved our
neighbor as ourselves. We have not done justice, loved kindness, or
walked humbly with you, our God. Have mercy on us, O God, in
your loving-kindness. In your great compassion, cleanse us from
our sin. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit
within us. Do not case us from your presence, or take your Holy
Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and sustain us
with your bountiful Spirit.
(The prayer will continue with our silent confessions.)
KYRIE (Sung) Lord, have mercy upon us; Christ, have mercy upon us; Lord, have
mercy upon us.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON (Sung Amen)
*
SCRIPTURE LESSON (In unison)
Psalm 100 (OT p. 552 in pew Bible)

°GLORIA PATRI
(Sung) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it
was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
°AFFIRMATION OF FAITH. A Brief Statement of Faith, PC(USA) 1991
Thomas W. Forster-Smith
(9 a.m. only)
We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love
God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s
image, male and female, of every race and people, to live as one community. But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator.
Ignoring God’s commandments, we violate the image of God in others and ourselves, accept lies as truth, exploit neighbor and nature,
and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care. We deserve
God’s condemnation. Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem
creation. In everlasting love, the God of Abraham and Sarah chose a
covenant people to bless all families of the earth. Hearing their cry,
God delivered the children of Israel from the house of bondage.
Loving us still, God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant. Like
a mother who will not forsake her nursing child, like a father who
runs to welcome the prodigal home, God is faithful still.
PASTORAL PRAYER. LORD'S PRAYER (debts/debtors)

CANTATA
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80
The Motet Choir
The Bach Chamber Players of St. Paul
Rachel Ware, soprano
Sandra Schoenecker, alto
Phil Jorgenson, tenor
Jonathan Ten Brink, bass
Andrew Altenbach, conductor
J.S. Bach
I. Chorus
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott,
Ein gute Wehr und Waffen;
Er hilft uns frei aus aller Not,
Die uns jetzt hat betroffen.
A strong fortress is our God,
a good defense and weapon;
He helps to free us from all distress
which has now come upon us.
Der alte böse Feind,
Mit Ernst er’s jetzt meint,
Gross Macht und viel List
Sein grausam Rüstung ist,
Auf Erd ist nicht seinsgleichen.
The old wicked enemy,
with sternness he now means it
great might and much cunning
are his cruel armaments;
On earth is not his equal.
II. Aria (Bass) and Chorale (Soprano)
Alles, was von Gott geboren,
Ist zum Siegen auserkoren.
Mit unserer Macht ist nichts getan,
Wir sind gar bald verloren.
Es streit’ vor uns der rechte Mann,
Den Gott selbst hat erkoren.
Wer bei Christi Blutpanier
In der Taufe Treu geschworen,
Siegt im Geiste für und für.
Fragst du, wer er ist?
Er heisst Jesus Christ,
Der Herre Zebaoth,
Und ist kein ander Gott,
Das Feld muss er behalten.
Alles, was von Gott geboren,
Ist zum Siegen auserkoren.
Everything that is born of God
is chosen for victory.
With our might nothing is done;
we are soon quite lost.
The righteous Man fights for us,
whom God Himself has chosen.
Whoever by Christ’s blood-stained banner
is sworn in baptismal faith,
Conquers in his spirit for ever and ever.
You ask, Who is He?
He is called Jesus Christ,
the Lord Sabaoth,
and there is no other God;
He will remain Master of the battlefield.
Everything that is born of God
is chosen for victory.
III. Recitative (Bass)
Erwäge doch, Kind Gottes, die so grosse Liebe,
Da Jesus sich,
Mit seinem Blute dir verschriebe,
Wormit er dich
Zum Kriege wider Satans Heer in wider Welt,
und Sünde geworben hat!
Gib nicht in deiner Seele
Dem Satan und den Lastern statt!
Lass nicht dein Herz
Den Himmel Gottes auf der Erden,
Zur Wüste werden!
Bereue deine Schuld mit Schmerz,
Dass Christi Geist mit dir sich fest verbinde!
Consider though, O child of God, the love so great,
that Jesus pledged to you
with His own blood,
with which He enlisted you
for victory against Satan’s host
and against the world and sin.
Do not allow Satan and
his vices in your soul.
Do not let your heart,
God’s heaven and earth,
become a desert.
Repent your guilt with grief,
so that Christ’s spirit may be firmly united with you.
IV. Aria (Soprano)
Komm in mein Herzenshaus,
Come into my heart’s house,
Herr Jesu, mein Verlangen!
Lord Jesus, my desire.
Treib Welt und Satan aus
Drive out the world and Satan
Und lass dein Bild in mir erneuert prangen! and let Thine image shine anew in me.
Weg, schnöder Sündengraus!
Away, vile and gruesome sin.
V. Chorus
Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär
Und wollten uns verschlingen,
So fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr,
Es soll uns doch gelingen.
Der Fürst dieser Welt,
And if the world were full of devils
who would devour us,
then we would not be so afraid
that they would succeed over us.
the prince of this world,
Wie saur er sich stellt,
Tut er uns doch nicht,
Das macht, er ist gericht’,
Ein Wörtlein kann ihn fallen.
however bitterly he takes his station,
yet he does nothing to us,
because he is condemned;
the smallest word can fell him.
VI. Recitative (Tenor)
So stehe dann bei Christi blutgefärbten Fahne,
O Seele, fest
Und glaube, dass dein Haupt dich nicht verlässt,
Ja, dass sein Sieg
Auch dir den Weg zu deiner Krone bahne!
Tritt freudig an den Krieg!
Wirst du nur Gottes Wort
So hören als bewahren,
So wird der Feind gezwungen auszufahren,
Dein Heiland bleibt dein Hort!
So stand then by Christ’s blood-stained banner,
O soul, firmly,
and believe that your Leader does not desert you,
even that His victory
prepares the way for your crown.
Begin the war joyfully!
If you will only hear and keep
God’s word,
then the enemy will be forced to depart;
your Savior remains your refuge.
VII. Duet (Alto and Tenor)
Wie selig sind doch die, die Gott im Munde tragen,
Doch selger ist das Herz, dass ihn im Glauben trägt!
Es bleibet unbesiegt und kann die Feinde schlagen
Und wird zuletzt gekrönt, wenn es den Tod erlegt.
How blessed are they who bear God in their mouths;
yet more blessed is the heart that bears Him in its faith.
It remains unconquered and can defeat its enemies,
and finally is crowned when it overcomes death.
VIII. Chorale
Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn
Und kein’ Dank dazu haben.
Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan
Mit seinem Geist und Gaben.
Nehmen sie uns den Leib,
Gut, Eht, Kind und Weib,
Lass fahren dahin,
Sie habens kein Gewinn;
Das Reich muss uns doch bleiben.
°RECESSIONAL HYMN 264
They shall forget the word
and have no gratitude for it.
He is with us according to the plan
with His spirit and gifts.
They may take from us body,
possessions, honor, child and wife;
let them go,
they gain no profit;
the kingdom will still remain for us.
When in Our Music God is Glorified

SUNDAY-WEEKDAY CONNECTIONS is an intergenerational program offering
House of Hope women an opportunity to meet, relax and share a meal; hear another House of Hope woman reflect on her Monday-Saturday experience; and talk
together about how their faith works itself out in daily life. On Tuesday, February
26, our speaker will be Chris Langer, Vice President of Communications for The
Minneapolis Foundation. Chris will talk about how we as individuals and as church
members can address some of the most critical issues facing our communities. We

Give blood today at the RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE until 1 p.m. in the Great
Hall. We all expect blood to be available when we or our loved ones are in need of
it, but only a fraction of those who can give blood actually do so. Blood is needed
for major crises—earthquakes, floods, fires, storms—but also for the deeply personal and quiet disasters that beset our friends and neighbors every day.
The DIDIER SEMINAR on The Next Christendom will be held at The House of Hope
from Friday evening, February 22, through Sunday morning, February 24. A limited
number of copies of the keynote speaker Dr. Philip Jenkins’ books are available for

CDs of the SERVICE OF INSTALLATION for Pastor David Van Dyke are available
in the church office for $15.

Some of you chose to have your complimentary 8x10 portrait sent to the church.
Your portraits can now be picked up in the church office..
On display in the CLOISTER GALLERY during the month of February are works
by Ta-Coumba Aiken, whose exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Art closed last
month. Ta-Coumba is an activist and teacher who uses his work, he says, “to heal
the hearts and souls of people and communities by evoking a positive spirit.”
Aiken’s work is an amalgam of styles and influences. His willingness to cover
almost anything—from pottery shards to buildings to acrylic boxes—comes from a
desire to experiment, to create, to beautify, and not to discard.
The deacons serve COOKIES in the Kirk Parlour on Sunday mornings. There is no
charge, but a free will offering is accepted, the proceeds of which are used for ministries and programs of House of Hope.
In February, the CHANGE OF HEART OFFERING goes to the Hallie Q. Brown
Food Shelf. The Change of Heart collection consists of all loose offerings in the
offering plates on Sundays.
Information on VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES can be found in the kiosks by the
entrances to the Sanctuary and on the Information Table in the Cloister Gallery.
Please pick up this information today to see how you can put your faith into action!
