WWU Fall Week of Worship
Please join Walla Walla University and the University Church pastoral staff in welcoming today’s preacher, Laurence Turner, Ph.D. Dr. Turner has spoken each day this week for WWU’s Week of Worship organized by
Albert Handal and the chaplain’s office. He is lecturer of Old Testament at Newbold College in England. He holds graduate degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary as well as the University of Sheffield. He has written a number of books, including most recently the award-winning, “Preaching the Old Testament” (2010). Dr. Turner has also lectured around the world including at The One Project.
Today, he joins the University Church community’s sermon series, “Savage: Hard Sayings of Jesus”, as he preaches on Luke 9:57–62 where Jesus utters the arresting phrase, “...let the dead bury their own dead.”

THIS SABBATH
AT THE UNIVERSITY CHURCH
MUSIC NOTE
We welcome the dedicated singers of I Cantori whom we hear for the first time this year. Please join me in welcoming and thanking them for giving so generously of their time and talent to praise God with beautiful music.
Sermon series are set months in advance, but over the years I have consistently been amazed at how themes, events, circumstances, and music come together in unexpected ways beyond the planning of worship leaders. In just this way I ponder that today’s savage saying should fall on the same Sabbath as the memorial service for KarrLayn Beck, cherished member of our congregation and wife of my music colleague Brandon. The organ and choral music are chosen with KarrLayn and the entire Beck family in mind.
Our service opens and closes with heroic pieces – compositions written in honor of fallen soldiers. Though not a service member, KarrLayn certainly led a heroic life and to the end, she inspired us all with her courage and optimism. The anthem prior to the sermon presents a paraphrase of
1 John 3:1, given here:
Think of how God loves you!
He calls you his own children,
and that is what you are.
In the choral offertory we hear perhaps the most famous piece ever written by the great master Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” Here is a free translation of the German:
Jesus, source of all my joy,
He my heart’s supreme delight;
Jesus lightens all my woe,
through His love’s redeeming might.
He my eye’s most precious pleasure,
He my spirit’s choicest treasure,
Fast and firm within my heart;
He and I will never part.
Finally, the choral incidental music presents verses from the 23rd Psalm – the choice psalm of comfort and hope at times of loss and sadness. As you prepare to worship I invite you to meditate on these texts.
—Kraig Scott

The University Church’s fall quarter sermon series is entitled “Savage: Hard Sayings of Jesus.” The title, “Savage,”makes use of an old word in the popular modern usage, connoting: brazen, bold, or impudent behavior or speech despite the ways in which it generates uncomfortable social consequences. The schedule below outlines the challenging teaching each Sabbath’s preacher will explore. Visit wwuchurch.com/worship-service-archive to access past sermons.

Adventist FORUM Meeting on October 13, at 4pm, in the Chan Shun Pavilion Lecture Hall, room 154. All are invited to join FORUM members and Drs. Bev Beem, Gregory Dodds, Dave Thomas, and Alden Thompson for a moderated conversation concerning recent proposals by General Conference administrators for ensuring “unity” in the church. These proposals have raised alarms in many quarters of the church for how they appear to centralize more authority than ever in a relatively small group. Multiple unions and conferences have expressed opposition to the plan, which will be discussed at the “Fall Council" meetings to be held in Silver Spring, Md., October 11–17, 2018.
The University Church has been grateful for the use of the piano in Heubach Chapel over the past four years.

If you have a piano that you are willing to loan to the church, email: church@wallawalla.edu.
