Westminster
Presbyterian
Church
The story of the conversion of the centurion Cornelius sets in motion the most critical phase of the expansion of God's people.
. . . which would involve the greatest
struggle and demand the most fundamental self-reinterpretation. That God intended all along for the Gentiles to share in the
blessings of Abraham—which Luke understands as the gift of the Holy Spirit
through Jesus—could not be more clear.
- Luke Timothy Johnson, Acts
What is at issue between Peter and the
heavenly voice is not Peter's luncheon
menu but the way he applies the terms
"profane" and "unclean" — his assumption that he knows what is clean and what
is unclean. - Beverly Gaventa, Acts
The gift of tongues and other such things
ceased long ago in the church, but the
spirit of understanding and regeneration
thrives and always will.
- John Calvin, Acts

Cantabile
César Franck
(During the Call to Worship in Music you are requested to enter into a time of silence,
actively opening your spirit to God’s presence in your midst.)
INTROIT - “O Be Joyful in the Lord”
O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands! Serve the Lord with gladness,
and come before his presence with a song, bless the Lord!
*WELCOME AND CALL TO WORSHIP IN WORD
John Yarrington
The Reverend Laurie Brubaker Davis
*PASSING OF THE PEACE
(Please greet your neighbor with a Christian welcome. For example, "Peace be with you" or
"The peace of Christ be with you." Respond with "And also with you.")
°*HYMN 460 - “Holy God, We Praise Your Name”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (in unison)
Merciful God,
in baptism you promise forgiveness and new life,
making us part of the body of Christ.
We confess that we remain preoccupied with ourselves,
separated from sisters and brothers in Christ.
We cling to destructive habits, hold grudges,
and show reluctance to welcome one another;
we allow the past to hold us hostage.
In your loving kindness, have mercy on us,
and free us from sin.
Remind us of the promises you make in baptism
so that we may rise to new life,
and live together in grace.
(Silence is kept for personal confession.)
All Sing:
DECLARATION OF PARDON
Leader: Anyone who is in Christ
is a new creation.
The old life has gone;
a new life has begun.
Friends, believe the Good News.
All:
In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.

°*GLORIA PATRI
H. W. Greatorex
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.
SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Leader: With the whole church, let us confess our faith.
Do you believe in God, the Father almighty?
People: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Leader: Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
People: I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
Leader: Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?
People: I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
WELCOME
Leader: Evan Alexander has been
received into the one holy catholic and
apostolic church through baptism.
God has made him a member of the household of God,
to share with us in the priesthood of Christ.
Let us welcome the newly baptized.
People: With joy and thanksgiving
we welcome you into Christ's church
to share with us in his ministry,
for we are all one in Christ.
Leader: The peace of Christ be with you.
People: And also with you.
HYMN (all sing) - “Baptized in Water”
Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
Cleansed by the blood of Christ, our King;
Heirs of salvation, trusting the promise,
Faithfully now God’s praises we sing.

ANTHEM - “From the End of the Earth”
Alan Hovhaness
Hear my cry, O God,
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
When my heart is overwhelmed:
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For thou hast been a shelter for me,
And a strong tower from the enemy.
I will trust in the covert of thy wings.
Alleluia.
Psalm 61:1-4

SERMON
The Reverend Dr. Richard L. Baker, Jr.
Crossing the Line
Text: “Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people
who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” So he ordered

- Psalm 119:1
SILENT PRAYER, PASTORAL PRAYER AND 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
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
*HYMN 386 - “O for a World”
(As a symbol of our call to “Take the light of Christ into the world,” the Acolytes carry the flame

Music Participants: Westminster Choir – Jerry Taylor is organist – John Neely is directing the choir.
Today’s Music: Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000), the composer of “From the End of the Earth,” was an Armenian-American composer. The Boston Globe music critic Richard Buell wrote: "Although he has been stereotyped as a self-consciously Armenian composer, his output assimilates the music of many cultures.
What may be most American about all of it is the way it turns its materials into a kind of exoticism. The
atmosphere is hushed, reverential, mystical, nostalgic." Hovhaness was among the most prolific of 20th
century composers, his official catalog comprising 67 numbered symphonies (surviving manuscripts indicate over 70) and 434 opus numbers.
Add your prayer to our Prayer Wall, located in the Sanctuary near the Chancel on the east wall. You will find
blank prayer papers and pencils in the four mini-desks built into the wall. Write your prayer on the paper, roll
up the paper, and insert it between the bricks of the wall. These prayers are completely private, between you
and God. After the first Sunday of each month, the wall will be cleared and all prayer papers will be respectfully burned. Prayer Wall postcards are now available to send to someone for whom you prayed. They are
located in the Prayer Wall mini-desks and the Narthex.
I will call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me: give ear to my voice when I call to you. Let my prayer be
counted as incense before you. Psalm 141:1-2a.

3:00 p.m.
Reception to follow in Fellowship Hall.
Wednesdays in October
5:00 p.m. - Class (West Parlor)

The Four Loves, taught by Dr. Richard Baker
Order me in my loves, O Lord, order me in my loves—so goes the famous
prayer of St. Augustine. As Augustine saw it, we cannot help but
love; it is part of what makes us human. But it is all too easy for our
love to go wrong: for us to love the wrong things, in the wrong way,
and worst of all, to the exclusion of loving God. Using C.S. Lewis’
The Four Loves, this series of classes will consider the four kinds of
love--storge (affection), philia (friendship), eros (romantic love), and
agape (charity)—and how God orders them rightly.
Taizé Service and Light Supper
A meditative service of songs and prayers in candlelight.
All are welcome.
The word “Taizé” may be unfamiliar to some. For many people
the name “Taizé” evokes a certain style of singing that has
become popular in more and more churches, retreat centers,
campus religious groups and even seminaries. For some the
word also suggests retreats and gatherings which attract large
numbers of young adults. Still others are aware that Taizé is
in fact an ecumenical community located in a small village in
eastern France. This community has produced some of the most
beautiful and moving music that has ever been composed for
participation by the whole community of faith (congregation,
choir, clergy, and instrumentalists).
WELCOME VISITORS!
We are glad you are here. After the service today, on
your way out please stop by our Welcome Center just
outside the Sanctuary’s double doors. We have a small
gift for you to say, “Thanks for being here” and adding
to our worshipping community today.
Have you enjoyed visiting Westminster? Would you
like to know more about us and how to become a
member of our congregation? Do you wonder what it
really means to be a Presbyterian? If so, you are warmly
invited to our Investigating Church Membership
Seminar that continues today, October 19, and for two
more weeks, from 11:05 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. It will be held
in the Resource Center, across from the Sanctuary on the
east side. You are encouraged to attend whether or not
we know you are coming! We will be delighted to
welcome you to the seminar.
PARISH NOTES
The flowers in the Chancel are given in loving memory
of Jeff Butterworth by Dan and Kathy (Butterworth)
Raisch.
The flowers in the Narthex are in honor of Alaina Arnhart and Matthew Wilson, who were married in our
Sanctuary on October 18.
Being baptized today is Evan Alexander Cavinder, son
of Jennifer (Brady) Cavinder and Jason Cavinder.
Please join us following worship for Coffee Hour,
downstairs in Fellowship Hall. You are invited to enjoy
some light refreshments and fellowship. Donation
containers for members are placed near the coffee.
Don't miss the opportunity to have your blood pressure
checked in the Chapel Reception Room immediately
following worship.

During the service, if you notice someone who appears
to require medical attention, please raise your hand
in the air or contact the head usher. Response Team
members will see your hand and care for the person.
If someone asks you for money, we encourage you
instead to give them one of Westminster’s Emergency
Assistance Cards, which are available in the Narthex or
the Church Office.
Each week the churches of the Presbytery of the Miami
Valley keep one particular congregation in their prayers.
This week the churches are praying for Sugar Creek
Presbyterian Church in Dayton.

ADULT EDUCATION
Drop-ins are always welcome at all of our Sunday Morning
Adult Education classes. No prior preparation expected.
New Classes Begin Today!
October 19 – November 23
11:20 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
World Upside Down? Christian Faith and Contemporary Culture. Led by Dr. Larry Welborn of Fordham
University (West Parlor). Is the Christian West at war
with Islam? Meanwhile, at home in America, culture
wars rage between the left and the right over gay rights,
abortion, immigration, and health care. Religion plays a
prominent role in all of these debates. What is the right
relationship between Christian faith and contemporary
culture? Opposition? Accommodation? Negotiation?
In the Book of Acts, the apostle Paul and other Christian
missionaries are accused of having “turned the world
upside down” by teaching things contrary to Roman
law and custom and by proclaiming that there is another king other than Caesar, namely Jesus. Is Christian
faith on a collision course with contemporary culture?
Margaret Edson’s Wit: A Tale of Redemption – Led by
Vail McGuire (Room 209). Margaret Edson’s Pulitzer
Prize winning play Wit is a profound, sometimes disturbing, sometimes humorous account of a woman’s
journey with advanced metastatic ovarian cancer. It has
a great deal to say to the challenges in today’s health
care system, but more importantly, it is a tale, in Edson’s
own words, “of redemption.” It offers thought provoking views of grace, sin, and salvation, many of which
run counter to common cultural perceptions. We will be
watching HBO’s production of Wit, starring Emma
Thompson. We do offer a disclaimer: the play contains intense scenes of dealing with cancer, some of which may be
disturbing for individuals who might currently have, or have
recently had, an experience with cancer in some way.
Song of Songs – Led by Dr. Richard Baker (Chapel). For
all the scriptures are holy, but the Song of Songs is the holiest
of all.--Rabbi Akiva. For centuries, Rabbi Akiva's view
has held sway: The Song of Songs (also called The Song
of Solomon; located the end of the Wisdom Literature in
the Old Testament, right before Isaiah) has been considered the holiest of all scriptures. In fact, through the
centuries, it has been the third most commented-upon
book of the Bible. Of course, readers recognized it as
love poetry, but they understood it as describing the
love between God and God's people, God and the
church, God and the individual soul. In modern times,
however, the Song of Songs has fallen on hard times-dismissed as curiosity, a mild scandal, and by and large,
ignored. In this class, we will read the Song of Songs to
compare ancient readings with the modern (non-)
reading, and to see what it has to teach us about God's
love and our own.
Every Monday
5:30-6:45 p.m.
Bible 101 – Led by Dr. Richard Baker and Laurie Davis
(West Parlor). Do you wish you had a better basic
knowledge of the whole Bible? This class began studying the New Testament in September and will offer a
survey of its 27 books. It is a basic introduction and
assumes no prior knowledge of the Bible. If you would
like to join us, please contact Laurie (223-7285 or Laurie@westminsterdayton.org).
INFANTS AND CHILDREN
Infants and Young Toddlers (Infant - 4 years old) are
cared for from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 108.
Parents of infants are provided a beeper by the nursery
staff in case immediate communication is needed.
During the worship hour, the 2-4 year olds are told a
Bible story, participate in an activity, and enjoy a snack.
We welcome young children to worship in our
Sanctuary. We have prepared cloth worship bags with
quiet, worship-related activities, including a children’s
bulletin and felt board designed specifically for today’s
service. The bags can be found in a basket on a bench in
the Narthex (main Sanctuary entrance) and upstairs in
the balcony. All children are invited to use one throughout the worship time and then return the bag to its original location, taking the papers home with them. If you
need help finding a bag, ask an usher for assistance.
Pre-K and Kindergarteners are invited to Children and
Worship, a unique and interactive introduction to the
stories and practices of our faith. As the second hymn
begins, these children will be met in the Narthex (main
Sanctuary entrance) and escorted to Room 106. Children and Worship concludes at 11:30 a.m. From there,
children will be escorted to Genesis Singers (Pre-K) in
Room 104 and Cherub Choir (K) in the Theater. Children not attending choir need to be met by their parents
at 11:30 a.m.
Children in grades 1 and 2 are invited to Come and
See/Godly Play, a unique and interactive worship experience for younger elementary children. As the second
hymn begins, these children will be met in the Narthex
(main Sanctuary entrance) and escorted to Room 104.
From there, they will be led by their shepherds to their
CrossRoads workshops at 10:55 a.m.
CrossRoads: Education for the Journey features varied
and engaging activities for children in grades 1-6, 10:5511:30 a.m. Today children continue the new five-week
workshop, “Moses and the Burning Bush.” As the final
hymn begins, children are invited to meet their agegroup shepherds in the Narthex (main Sanctuary entrance) and be escorted to their workshops. Workshop
location signs are posted in the west end of the Narthex
and on the Fellowship Hall stage. Choir children will be
escorted directly to their rehearsals. Other children may
be picked up from their workshops at 11:30 a.m.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR VISITORS THIS MORNING
Thank you for your presence here in worship today. Every Sunday God blesses us with the gift of new visitors.
Some of you have come across town or across the country and found your way here today. This may be your first
time ever, or first time in a long while to be in a church on a Sunday morning. Or you may be a member of
another congregation. Whatever tradition you may have come from, we are delighted to have you here today and
invite you to experience our worship, Coffee Hour, Sunday classes, or whatever captures your imagination

We have good news for you: Westminster is a safe place to ask questions and to live the questions of life that have
no easy or pat answers. We believe that Jesus welcomes all people, just as they are, and so do we. We understand
the life of faith to be a journey better walked together than alone. Westminster is an exciting congregation where
you can grow in faith and discover meaningful opportunities to be a part of a community where loving God and
