“SHARING HOPE FROM THE HEART OF THE HIGHLANDS”
Artist of My Soul by Rick Vale
O Lord of light, of form and hue who has created all things new,
create in me, from shapeless clay, an instrument on which you play.
God of the dance that planets tread, who walks beside and soars ahead,
O let me move to worship thee; come, Holy Spirit, dance with me.
O Lord of beauty, Lord of art, who gives a song for every heart,
carve out my life, reshape and mold; and be the artist of my soul.

WELCOME TO HIGHLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Whether you are visiting for the first time or are a long time member, your presence is a gift to us. All are welcome in worship and we hope your experience is meaningful and relevant among this church community. Welcome. If you are new here - Welcome! We want to connect with you. To help us offer a welcome, please add your name, email, and phone number to the red welcome folder. If you want information about joining the church contact Megan McCarty at [email protected] or 502-451-2910. Children in Worship - Children, like all people, are welcome in this worship service. We invite children to stand, sing, pray, listen during the sermon, and participate as much as they can! Some good things to know are: The Nursery is located on second floor of the church building. Children ages 3 and
younger are invited (not required) to enjoy that caring space. A Children’s Bulletin is available for ages 3 to grade 5. Ask an usher for a “Children’s”
bulletin designed to guide children to experience worship. Worship Bags are also available for children. Bags are personalized by name. If you are
visiting, please find a “visitor” bag in the back of the church. If you plan to return regular-ly or join contact Doodle Harris at [email protected] so a worship bag can be made for your child!
Children ages 3 to kindergarten are invited to Bible Buddies following the Children’s Time. This program provides a snack and a lesson for our youngest disciples. Children leave following the Time with Young Disciples and return during the final hymn.
To Enhance your Worship - Large print bulletins (including hymns) and hearing-enhancement devices are available. If you would like either, please ask an usher. Prayer Support - Yellow prayer request cards are available in the Welcome Centers. You are welcome to write a request and place in the offering plate. Offering - During worship we collect an offering. If this is your first time with us, we consider your presence as your offering this day. If you would like to make an offering, you will find en-velopes in the maroon folders and in the Welcome Center. These support the ministry of High-land Presbyterian Church to serve this congregation and community beyond us as we “share hope from the heart of the Highlands.”

† Call To Worship: William Dykes The heavens are telling the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of God’s hand. O God, our God, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before there was earth, you were our God. O God, our God, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Know that the Lord is God. It is God who made us. We are God’s people, the sheep of God’s pasture. O God, our God, how majestic is your name in all the earth. We praise God because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Let us worship our creator together. † Hymn: “Kum Ba Ya” TRADITIONAL

MOMARITAS - Join us on March 4th at Havana Rumba (on Bardstown Rd.) at 7pm. All moms are invit-ed! Come for the fellowship, stay for the parenting advice. Hope to see you there!

Prayer of Confession: Finley Barber, Oliver Gulick, and Evan Holmes God said, “Let there be light.” Humanity chose to live in the shadow of that light. So now, we have a world full of hatred, violence, and suffering. God, give us your vision of the world as it should be. God said, “Let there be limits on the chaotic waters in this world.” Humanity refused to be subjected to the order you brought to creation. So now, we live in the midst of confused squabbling about things that don’t really matter. God, lead us back to you and the community you want for us. God said, “Let there be land to provide firm footing on which to stand.” Humanity cannot stand tall in God’s light because we are obsessed with ourselves and our anxieties. So now, we live with self-doubt; we struggle with body image; and we fear our limitations. God, give us the confidence to BE the creation that you called “GOOD.” God said, “Let there be sunshine.” Humanity clouded your plan with fear and selfishness. So now, we seek happiness in the wrong places, with the wrong people; and we end up suffering from our fear of the future. God, restore our hope. God said, “Let there be varieties of life, and lives filled with variety.” Humanity rejected God’s love of diversity and sought the safety of existing among those who are too similar to what we see in the mirror. So now, we are a people trapped by our racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and fear of “THE OTHER.” We create walls and borders everywhere we go. God, teach us how to bring down the walls and erase the borders in our lives that are the results of our own prejudice and limited thinking. God said, “Let there be enough for everyone.” Humanity was too obsessed with its greed to recognize its responsibility. So now, we assume a scarcity that doesn’t exist; we accept homelessness as reality and assume that poverty cannot be solved. God, open our hearts to our community; teach us to share what we have and who we are. God said, “Let humankind be in God’s image.” Humanity refused to see the beauty in others and in ourselves. So now, we don’t know how to create real community or live up to our full potential. God, help us celebrate all that is good within us. Guide our efforts to be in relationship with you.
A time of silence is kept for personal prayer.

WELCOME TO HIGHLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Whether you are visiting for the first time or are a long time member, your presence is a gift to us. All are welcome in worship and we hope your experience is meaningful and relevant among this church community. Welcome. If you are new here - Welcome! We want to connect with you. To help us offer a welcome, please add your name, email, and phone number to the red welcome folder. If you want information about joining the church contact Megan McCarty at [email protected] or 502-451-2910. Children in Worship - Children, like all people, are welcome in this worship service. We invite children to stand, sing, pray, listen during the sermon, and participate as much as they can! Some good things to know are: The Nursery is located on second floor of the church building. Children ages 3 and
younger are invited (not required) to enjoy that caring space. A Children’s Bulletin is available for ages 3 to grade 5. Ask an usher for a “Children’s”
bulletin designed to guide children to experience worship. Worship Bags are also available for children. Bags are personalized by name. If you are
visiting, please find a “visitor” bag in the back of the church. If you plan to return regular-ly or join contact Doodle Harris at [email protected] so a worship bag can be made for your child!
Children ages 3 to kindergarten are invited to Bible Buddies following the Children’s Time. This program provides a snack and a lesson for our youngest disciples. Children leave following the Time with Young Disciples and return during the final hymn.
To Enhance your Worship - Large print bulletins (including hymns) and hearing-enhancement devices are available. If you would like either, please ask an usher. Prayer Support - Yellow prayer request cards are available in the Welcome Centers. You are welcome to write a request and place in the offering plate. Offering - During worship we collect an offering. If this is your first time with us, we consider your presence as your offering this day. If you would like to make an offering, you will find en-velopes in the maroon folders and in the Welcome Center. These support the ministry of High-land Presbyterian Church to serve this congregation and community beyond us as we “share hope from the heart of the Highlands.”

“SHARING HOPE FROM THE HEART OF THE HIGHLANDS”
Artist of My Soul by Rick Vale
O Lord of light, of form and hue who has created all things new,
create in me, from shapeless clay, an instrument on which you play.
God of the dance that planets tread, who walks beside and soars ahead,
O let me move to worship thee; come, Holy Spirit, dance with me.
O Lord of beauty, Lord of art, who gives a song for every heart,
carve out my life, reshape and mold; and be the artist of my soul.
