Traditional Worship, 8:30am Welcome and Announcements Prelude “Prelude (from Prelude and Toccata)”

Dr. Michael John Trotta

*Call To Worship God of grace and mercy, you are the beginning and ending of all things. You promise to wipe away every tear, that death and mourning will be no more. You make your home among us and abide with us as our God. Teach us to live as the saints you call us to be, loving you and loving others. Amen. Hymn of Praise

“For All the Saints”

UMH #711

Prayer For Illumination Guide us, O God, by your Word and Holy Spirit, that in your light we may see light; in your truth find freedom; and in your will discover peace; through Christ our Lord. Amen. A Light Shines in the Darkness

Dr. Michael John Trotta

The Great Thanksgiving

Prayer of the People

UMH #9

The Naming of the Saints (Communion will be served by intinction. Ushers will direct the congregation. We offer a station for communion that is gluten-free, vegan, and "top 8" allergen-free.)

Giving of the Bread and Cup Lighting of the Candles

First Reading - Psalm 130 Movement 2 - I Seek A Faith That Sets It Right The grass has dried up, and the flower has fallen. For the Spirit of the Lord has blown. Each one of us is like the blade of grass and flower. But you, you last forever. Therefore I seek the fact that sets it right. Amid the lilies and the candlelight. I think on Heav'n for in that air so clear That we may meet, though once confused and parted here.

Second Reading - Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us

Movement 6 - I Saw a New Heaven I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had passed away. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and death shall be no more! Death, thou shalt die.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Movement 1 - Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sun ripened on grain, I am gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds encircled in flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.

Invitation, Confession, Pardon, and Peace

The Offertory: Movement 3 - The Lord Is My Shepherd The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. Brings me to green pastures, beside still waters. He refreshes my soul. He renews my life, and by such grace, he leads me. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear, for you are with me, your rod and staff, they comfort me. As you prepare a table in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head, my cup overflows. Goodness and kindness shall follow me, all of the days of my life. I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever and ever. Amen.

UMH #8

Movement 4 - A Light Shines in the Darkness A Light shines in the darkness and the shadow is overcome. You will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Arise, shine; for thy light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Arise, shine; for thy light is come.

Fourth Reading - Fairy Song by John Keats Movement 7 - Even Death Itself Love conquers all, even death, even death itself; Let us surrender then to love. Behold, love shall bless us, console, and dry our tears, Until we meet again.

Closing Hymn “Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above”

UMH #709

Dismissal with Blessing Go now as witnesses to the love of God through Jesus Christ. We go knowing that God’s peace and love go with us. Choral Response - Deep Peace Deep peace to you. Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you! In the name of the Three who are One By the will of the King of All. Deep peace. Postlude “Toccata (from Prelude and toccata)”

Dr. Michael John Trotta

Third Reading - 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 Movement 5 - Death Shall Be No More Dawn has come. Say not in grief that life is no more but say in thankfulness that life was. Not the extinguishing of a light, but the putting out of the lamp because the dawn has come. One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more.

We give thanks to Dave and Kenna Coley for their reading today and the Funeral Ministry Team for their assistance with candle lighting today. Today’s musicians were made possible by a grant from PaGe, the White Plains Performing Arts Endowment. If you would like to contribute to this endowment or learn more about it so we can continue having programs like today, contact Braxton Matthews or John Brettschneider.
