The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and
lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Come, We That Love the Lord
David von Kampen
The Journey Youth Choir; Caitlin Wells, director
Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord, and thus surround the throne.
We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.
The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heav’nly fields, or walk the golden streets.
Then let our songs abound, and ev’ry tear be dry;
We’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground to fairer worlds on high.

Call to Worship
Rev. Joy Anderson
Lord of Life, come into the rush of our lives and calm the chaos.
Breathe into us your spirit, so that we might find holy rhythms for our lives as your disciples.
Lord, help us to trust you with all the details of life, and find balance and
rest in our journey with you. Guide us, holy One. Amen.
Response 402
Lord, I Want to be a Christian
(verse 4)
Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart, in my heart; Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart, Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart.

Sing to the Lord a New Song Robert Lau
Chancel Choir
People and songs of every nation sing to the Lord a new song.
Bring him a song of jubilation, sing to the Lord a new song .
All God’s creatures, old men and children, voices raised in hymns of love.
He crowns the humble with salvation. Sing to the Lord a new song.
Mountains and hills and all creation sing to the Lord a new song.
Join in a hymn of adoration. Sing to the Lord a new song.
Praise his name, sing “Alleluia!” Praise him for his mighty deeds.
This is our song of supplication: “Sing to the Lord a new song.”
Praise him, shining stars, and praise him highest heavens.
Oh, all kings and princes praise his holy name.
Angels above make melody to him.
Now lift your voice, lift up your heart, and sing, and sing!
Come, Christians all, now raise your voices, sing to the Lord a new song.
Praise and thanksgiving be your choices, sing to the Lord a new song.
Sound the trumpet, play on the lute and harp; dance your dance, and shout for joy.
Make music now as heaven rejoices, sing to the Lord a new song.

who give to the church monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or by mail, may place “an extra dollar” in the
offering plate each Sunday in order to participate in our worship through giving and serve as an example
to our children, youth and guests of our love for our church.
