Eternal God, you are the power behind all things:
behind the energy of the storm, behind the heat of a million suns.
Eternal God, you are the power behind all minds:
behind the ability to think and reason, behind all understanding of the truth.
Eternal God, you are the power behind the cross of Christ:
behind the weakness, the torture and the death, behind unconquerable love.
Eternal God, we worship and adore you. Amen.

(From Psalm 34:3, 95:1-2)
O praise the Lord with me,

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious God, in you we live and breathe and have our being;
in life and in death we belong to you. Yet, often we find ourselves far from you
and doubting your relevance and even your presence.
Forgive us when we forget our place within your mercy
and wander from our true home within your mystery.
We pray as well that you give us the strength to withstand the forces
that push and pull us away from you and neighbor.
In the name of Jesus, who guides our way back to you, we offer our prayers. Amen.

SECOND SCRIPTURE - Psalm 8
Iona Abbey Worship Book
All Wonderful God, Creator, the whole earth declares your greatness.
Pulpit side Your glory glows in the heavens. It is babbled by babies and sung by children.
Lectern side You are safe from all your enemies: those who oppose you are silenced.
Pulpit When I look at the sky which you have made,
the moon and the stars that you set in place:
Lectern Where do human beings fit in the pattern?
What are we, that you care for us?
Pulpit You have made us only a little lower than yourself;
and crowned us with glory and honor.
Lectern You share with us responsibility
to care for sheep and cattle, wild things, birds and fish,
everything that lives in the sea: to work with you, within creation.
All Wonderful God, Creator, the whole earth declares your greatness.

When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of Your fingers: the moon and stars suspended in
space. Oh, what is man, that You are mindful of him? You have given man a crown of glory and
honor, and have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation;
the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea. O Lord, our God, the majesty and glory
of Your name transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God, little children praise You
perfectly and so would we. Alleluia. The majesty and glory of Your name, Alleluia.

CELTIC TREASURES IN THE CHAPEL. Join pastor Bill Hathaway for prayer and study, exploring
the depths of contemporary Celtic influences on the Christian faith. Each Wednesday will
include prayer, music and a discussion of John Philip Newell’s book The Rebirthing of God:
Christianity’s Struggle for New Beginnings.
FAITH & FILM. Join Associate Pastor, Heather Shortlidge, at Red Red Wine Bar for theological
reflection and a glass of wine. Each week, we will discuss a recent documentary, including After
Tiller (February 25), Rich Hill (March 4), Citizenfour (March 11), Overnighters (March 18) and
Virunga (March 25). Participants are asked to view these films through Netflix, Amazon, or
iTunes prior to our discussion together. Limited to ten people with priority given to those who
can attend all five sessions, and did not participate in last year’s group.
YIN YOGA. Join Donna Wiggins, 500RYT instructor at Evolutions Body Clinic, for a Wednesday
night Yin practice held in our sanctuary. Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with poses that
are held for longer periods of time. These poses apply moderate stress to the connective
tissues with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. There is a
$35 CHARGE for this circle payable at www.annapolis-presbyterian.com/pay.
MASTERMINDS AND WINGMEN. If you have a boy in your life, this circle is for you. Join other
parents, grandparents, educators and coaches in reading Rosalind Wiseman’s latest book,
Masterminds and Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with School Yard Power, Locker Room
Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World. Led by Alison Whitacre, a parent of three
boys, this circle will meet in the Zimmerman-Wilson House over dessert and coffee.
SACRED CHORAL MASTERWORKS. Join our Director of Music, and Peabody professor, Bob
Muckenfuss, in an exploration of the greatest sacred choral oratorios from the past few
centuries. This circle will listen and compare the great masterpieces from Bach to Britten and
discover the history, significance, and theological influences in the life of the composers that
inspired them.
(continued)
MAKING TIME FOR GOD. (For children 2nd-5th grades.) Join Miss Good, Director of Children’s
and Youth Ministries, in a circle designed to give kids some breathing space. Participants will
