Giving of Tithes and Offerings to the Lord Prayer of Dedication Anthem A Holy Sacrifice Choplin O Lord who are we to stand before You? Who are we to come before Your mighty throne? For Lord, You are so perfect and so holy, we could never come in our strength alone. As we come to worship You as You call Your church to do, we bring to You our humble gifts of praise. If we offer You our best, we know that You will bless and make our gifts a holy sacrifice. May the offering of our lives be a holy sacrifice to You. Wash them clean, make them true, let them be a holy sacrifice to You. If we could spend our earthly days singing lofty songs of praise, yet no music would be worthy of Your throne. But if our gifts are from the heart, then Your spirit does its part to make them a holy sacrifice. Children three years old and under may go to the Nursery. *Please stand. The Chancel Flowers are given by Judy and Jerry Byerly in honor of Jennifer and David Church and the Fairview Youth Fellowship. Congratulations to Emily Rascoe and Jason Deane who were united in marriage on Saturday, September 27th, in Banner Elk. The congregation was saddened by the passing of one of our Fairview Friends, Jane Crutchfield, on Monday, October 20th. We express our sympathy of her son, Vic, and to the Crutchfield family.
