CALL to WORSHIP: In the Beginning, after God rested from creating the Heavens and the Earth, God then planted a garden in Eden, in the east. He put the Man and the Woman he had just made in it. GOD made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees that we thought were beautiful to look at and good to eat. The eternal Tree-of-Life was in the middle of the garden, also there was the Tree of Knowledge of Good- and- Evil. GOD took the Man and Woman and set them down in the Garden of Eden, to work the ground and keep it in order. GOD commanded us, "You can eat from any tree in the garden, except from the Tree of Knowledge of Good-and-Evil. Don't eat from It! The moment you eat from that tree, you're dead !" *HYMN #27(G) God of Creation vss. 1-3 *CALL TO and PRAYER of CONFESSION When the woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of itshe'd know everything!she took and ate the fruit; and then she gave some to her husband, and he ate. Immediately the two of them did "see what's really going on"saw themselves naked! They sewed fig leaves together as makeshift clothes for themselves, for they were ashamed! Now hear us, O Creation God, in our silent confession... *ASSURANCE of PARDON *GLORIA PATRI *AFFIRMATION of FAITH: Nicene Creed A WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS SPECIAL MUSIC: As the Deer Nystrom

THE NICENE CREED

We believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the virgin, Mary, and was made human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. he has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Cornerstone Womens Resource Centers is a thriving Crisis pregnancy center in various locations in Salem and Cumberland Counties. Sue Smith is the executive director and is the daughter in law of our own Fay Smith. Here is a note Sue sent us: An ultrasound picture is worth a thousand words-and a few tears-as a young mother sees her unborn baby for the first time and decides she will give him life; school students learn about healthy relationships; many clients are hearing the Gospel message some for the first time; and a healing journey for pregnancy loss begins. For more information go to info@cornerstonewrc.org. There are 12 assisted listening devices available for people to better hear the worship service. They are located in a basket in the narthex. CD copies of our worship service are also available every Sunday in the narthex. Local food banks such as Disciples Pantry in Woodstown and Peters Pantry in Elmer continue to be in need of items. We are collecting donations such as peanut butter, jelly, tuna, cereals, pasta, sauce, soups, mac-n-cheese, rice and any canned good.
