Aware of our rich heritage, we celebrate the lives of
those who in times past have devoted themselves to the

us as a great host of witnesses to the power of God at
work in this church. Holding this heritage in sacred trust,
we have come now to consecrate afresh this house of
God and this body of Christ – the church – to the
worship of God and the service of the world

The Act of Rededication of the Church Facilities
(Continued)
One: To the glory of God, our Father, by whose favor
we have builded; to the honor of Jesus the Christ, the
Son of the living God and our Saviour; to the praise
of the Holy Spirit, source of life and light.
All: We rededicate this house.
One: For worship in prayer and song, for the ministry
of the Word, for the observance of the holy
ordinances.
All: We rededicate this house.
One: To the sanctification of the family; to the
training and nurture of childhood; to the inspiration of
youth and the salvation of all.
All: We rededicate this house.
One: To the help of the needy; to the promotion of
brotherhood; to the extension of the kingdom through
the whole wide world.
All: We rededicate this house.
(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. Lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen)
The Act of Rededication of ALL
One: Wondrous God, the skies and the highest
heavens cannot contain you, much less temples made
by human hands. Yet you dwell on this earth among
us and make yourself known in sacred space and
time. Receive this house afresh for your glory as we
rededicate it and ourselves to your service.
All: Fill this sanctuary with your Holy Spirit. May
its walls, its furnishings, its holy emblems, declare
your praise.
One: Consecrate afresh this building to your service
and this church to Christ’s ministry. May we show
forth your loving-kindness as a light upon a stand that
leads others to see our good works and give you
praise.
All: Accept the praise of our lips, the songs of our
hearts, the adoration of our spirits, that in all
things we may glorify you and enjoy you for ever.
One: Attend to every prayer uttered aloud or in secret,
touching each heart with the certainty that no prayer
goes unanswered.
All: Proclaim your word by the reading of the
scripture and the preaching of the gospel. May all
take heart and believe to their salvation and to the
renewal of the world.
One: Reveal yourself to your people gathered around
the Lord’s table in the breaking of bread and in
communion with one another.
The Act of Rededication of ALL
(Continued)
All: Greet with outstretched arms newborn children
entrusted to your care, embracing them with a love
that draws them ever nearer to you.
One: Enfold in your loving care those who are baptized.
Grant that they may know themselves to be members of
the body of Christ through God’s everlasting covenant.
All: Bless by your presence those who pledge
themselves to one another in holy marriage, adding
your strength to their vows.
One: Reconcile by the power of your Spirit those who feel
themselves estranged from you and one another. Within
this body grant them your peace, putting an end to all
hostility.
All: Comfort all who gather in mourning for the loss of
a loved one, giving them courage to celebrate the gift
of life and to know your eternal love.
One: Sanctify all that we are, all that we have, all that we
shall become, and make us wholly yours.
All: Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving
and honor and power and might be to you, our God,
forever and ever! Amen.
The Act of Rededication of the Church Facilities
One: We set apart this house to the worship of the living
and true God, and to the service of Jesus Christ our
Lord.
All: We devote it to the preaching of the gospel of the
grace of God for the conversion of sinners, and to the
education of Christians in a knowledge of spiritual
truth, in all the activities of Christian Life.
One: Here the incense of prayer and praise ascend to
God. Here shall the ordinanaces of the Lord’s house be
sacredly observed.
All: Here shall the Word of God, which liveth and
abideth forever, be sounded out for the salvation of
the perishing, and shine as a perpetual light to guide
God’s pilgrims through the night of Time to the land
of everlasting light.
One: Here may children of sin and sorrow find a refuge
from despair and ruin, and Christians a harbor to which
they can resort when the tempest is high, and be safe.
All: May no discordant note of strife ever be heard
within these walls, no unholy spirit of pride or
worldliness find entrance here.
One: And may God graciously accept this offering of a
house in His name-an offering made by grateful hearts
and willing hands-and bless every heart that shares this
gift.
All: May multitudes here be born to God, so that
when all these here today shall have gone to their
eternal home, others will take up the service until
Jesus comes and all His are gathered home.

Flood Recovery Continues in Nashville
by Gregory Rumburg, Elder, Vine Street
Christian Church
The rain just kept coming down...
It's a common refrain within Nashville conversation this week.
One part recollection. One part revelation of disbelief.
"My daughter got scared," Dave, a local father, shared. "She'd
never seen so much water."
Others were not so fortunate. In water-ravaged neighborhoods,
Metro Nashville officials are directing people to separate their
homes and personal belongings--items now known simply as
flood debris--into four piles. A fifth pile seems to be emerging-the one called, "Try to save." A grandmother's trunk from
Ellis Island. Christmas ornaments chock-full of family
memories of holidays past. Photos documenting a once-happy
family now separated by distance, death or divorce... and now
flood water.
The rain just kept coming down...
(You may give to week of compassion in our offering and
we will see that your gift reaches Week of Compassion)
Matthew 16:13-20
Now when Jesus came into the district of
Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do
people say that the Son of Man is?" [14] And they
said, "Some say John the Baptist, but others
Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets." [15] He said to them, "But who do you
say that I am?" [16] Simon Peter answered, "You
are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." [17]
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon
son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed
this to you, but my Father in heaven.
[18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock
I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will
not prevail against it. [19] I will give you the keys
of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind
on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." [20]
Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell
anyone that he was the Messiah.
