Welcome – Greeting of the People – Announcements Prelude “Arioso” George Frideric Handel Congregational Introit Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, And ever with unwav’ring heart have trusted, Lord, in Thee. Examine me, and prove me, Lord; try heart and mind, I pray. - Psalm 88:1-2 Rest CM *Prayer of Invocation *Hymn of Adoration No. 2 “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” Nettleton *Confession of Faith—The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. *Hymn No. 623—Gloria Patri Anthem “How Can I Keep From Singing?” Covenant Choir; Youth Choir Trebles: Rachel Fast, Lily Velazco, Margaret Veldman, Julia Warker, and Johanna Willieme; Marilyn Edewaard, director; Alex Cooke, piano arr. Gwyneth Walker My life flows on in endless song, above earth’s lamentation. I catch the sweet though far off hymn that hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing. It finds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? What, though my joys and comforts die, the Lord my Savior liveth. What, though the darkness gather round, songs in the night He giveth. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Christ is Lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing? He’s Lord of all—how can I keep from singing? Dr. Robert M. Norris, Senior Pastor; Dr. Todd Smedley, Senior Associate Pastor; Rev. Corey Gray, Rev. Ron Meyer, and Rev. David O’Connell, Pastors The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing. All things are mine since I am His! How can I keep from singing? No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Christ is Lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing? All things are mine since I am His—how can I keep from singing? No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I’m clinging. Since Christ is Lord of heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing? ~ Robert Lowry Sacrament of Christian Baptism 9:30am Asher Beck Holmes, son of Alexander and Samantha Holmes 11:00am Thomas Peter DiPompeo, son of Christopher and Cara DiPompeo Sharing of Family News Report of Pastoral Search Committee—Don Robinson Prayer of Intercession and Lord’s Prayer There's a Wideness in God's Mercy Jeremiah 31:31-34 Old Testament Reading *Hymn “There’s a Wideness In God’s Mercy” # 4 & 4 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ 1.
