Morning Worship September 5 2021

Service of Holy Communion

Park Street Church | ' e Lord’s Day, September 5, 2021

2

Instructions in this service booklet are indicated by the traditional symbol ¶, called a “pilcrow.”

! e postures for prayer include kneeling, refl ecting the many biblical invitations to kneel before

God and even to fall upon our faces in his presence. When worship was translated into the ver-

nacular during the Reformation, the familiar Latin titles for Psalms and other standard texts

were preserved; for instance, we refer to the “Gloria Patri” not the “Glory Be to the Father;” some

of these titles are used here. Where hymns are listed, the name of the tune appears right-fl ush in

small caps. Scripture lessons are taken from the English Standard Version.
