Worship for July 26th, 2020

We are excited to be gathering in our parking lot for worship at 9:00am on Sunday.

Here is the Video from our Worship service

There are two files that you can download to print at home and bring with you to worship. One is the order of worship and the second file is the lyrics for the hymns and songs we will be singing. This page will contain all of that information as well, however, we wanted to give you the option to participate via this website while in the parking lot as well as printing from home and coming with your own sheets.

WORDS OF WELCOME

O God Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast, 
And Our eternal home:

Under the shadow of your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood
Or each received its frame,
From ever lasting you are God,
To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home

Opening Litany and Prayer

The kingdom of God is here, and coming.
It is like a mustard seed. The smallest of seeds and the greatest of shrubs. 
May the kingdom grow inside of us all
The kingdom of God is here, and coming.

It is the Yeast that causes the bread to leaven. May the Kingdom spread throughout each of us causing us to grow.
The kingdom of God is here, and coming.

It is a Treasure hidden in a field, So priceless that we sell all we have in order to receive its riches.
The kingdom of God is here, and coming.

A merchant in search of fine pearls;
on finding one of great value,
sells all of his possessions and buys the pearl.
The kingdom of God is here, and coming.

May the Kingdom be among us today and always.

Confession

Our God

Water You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You

Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You

Chorus

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power our God our God

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
(Then) what could stand agains

The Word of God

Deuteronomy 7:6-9
Romans 8:28-39
Matthew 13:44-52

Sermon

I Will Follow

Where You go I’ll go
Where You stay I’ll stay
When You move I’ll move
I will follow

All Your ways are good
All Your ways are sure
I will trust in You alone
Higher than my sight
High above my life
I will trust in You alone

Chorus

Where You go I’ll go
Where You stay I’ll stay
When You move I’ll move
I will follow You
Whom You love I’ll love
How You serve I’ll serve
If this life I lose
I will follow (You)

Yeah I will follow You yeah

Light into the world
Light into my life
I will live for You alone
You’re the One I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in You alone
In You alone

In You there’s life everlasting
In You there’s freedom for my soul
In You there’s joy unending joy
And I will follow

Yeah I will follow You yeah
I will follow You yeah
I will follow You yeah

Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living 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.

Prayers

We Are The Kingdom

If only we could see
Who we’re made to be
Beyond the fear and doubt
That feels so crippling
Our song would rise today
Of a King so great
Who rules the universe
But calls us all by name

Oh oh we are set apart
Oh oh we know who we are

Chorus

We are the Kingdom we are the light
You set a fire we cannot hide
And we’ll be Your city burning so bright
‘Cause we are the Kingdom
(We are the Kingdom)
(We are the Kingdom)

Oh oh oh
We are the Kingdom

We will risk it all
For such a time as this
Not to gain the world
But make a difference

Oh oh we are set apart
Oh oh this is where we start

We’ll shine Your light
And raise it high raise it high
The Kingdom of God is alive is alive

We are the Kingdom

Closing Prayer/Blessing

Love Divine All Loves Excelling

Love divine all loves excelling
Joy of heaven to earth come down
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling
All Thy faithful mercies crown
Jesus Thou art all compassion
Pure unbounded love Thou art
Visit us with Thy salvation
Enter every trembling heart

Breathe O breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast
Let us all in Thee inherit
Let us find Thy promised rest
Take away the love of sinning
Alpha and Omega be
End of faith as its beginning
Set our hearts at liberty

Come Almighty to deliver
Let us all Thy life receive
Suddenly return and never
Never more Thy temples leave
Thee we would be always blessing
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing
Glory in Thy perfect love

Finish then Thy new creation
Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee
Changed from glory into glory
Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before Thee
Lost in wonder love and praise

Postlude by Dr. Pat

As you return home, we ask that you pass under the Porte Cochere. It will be a different type of receiving line than we are used to, but Pastor Scott will be there to say goodbye.

Also, as you leave the parking lot there will be a place for you to leave your offering. We can’t say enough how blessed Prince of Peace continues to be by your generous support of our ministries. Thank You!
