Words of Welcome

We Give Thee but Thine Own

We give thee but thine own,
Whate’er the gift may be;
All that we have is thine alone,
A trust, O Lord from thee

May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blesses us,
To thee our first fruits give.

Hearts will are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold.

To comfort and to bless, 
To find a balm for woe,
To tend those lost in loneliness,
Is angles’ work below.

The captive to release,
The lost to God to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace
It is a Christlike thing.

And we believe thy word,
Though dim our faith may be:
Whate’er we do for thine, O Lord
We do it unto thee

Call to Worship Based on Psalm 27

God is our light and our salvation; whom shall we fear?
Our God is For Us

God is our shelter and refuge on the days of trouble,
and our hope and joy on the days of celebration!
Our God is For Us

Day after day, we seek God’s face and the assurance of His holy love:
Our God is For Us

O God, do not turn from us or hide your face from us!
Be our guide and our light
Our God is For Us

One thing we ask of God:
That we may live in God’s dwelling place all the days of our life,
and never cease to behold the beauty of God’s home.
Our God is For Us

Beloved of God, enter this worship in thanksgiving,
for God is among and within us!
Thanks be to God!

Prayer

This is Amazing Grace

Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Verse 2

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Chorus

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh Jesus I sing for all that You’ve done for me

Verse 3

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory the King of Glory

Verse 4

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Bridge

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy worthy worthy

Isaiah 55:6-9

10,000 Reasons

Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name

Verse 1

The sun comes up it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Verse 2

You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

Verse 3

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Worship Your holy name
Lord I’ll worship Your holy name

Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name

Matthew 5:14-16

Sermon

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 led by our Youth 

Goodness of God

I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

Verse 2

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father
I’ve known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge

Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me

Benediction

Lord Dismiss us with Your Blessing

Lord, dismiss us with your blessing, 
Fill our hearts with you and peace; 
Let us each, your love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.
Oh, refresh us;
Oh, refresh us,
Trav’ling through this wilderness

Thanks we give and adoration
For your Gospel’s joyful sound,. 
May the fruits of your salvation
In our hearts and lives abound.
Ever faithful,
Ever faithful
To your truth may we be found.

Savior, when your love shall call us
From our struggling pilgrim way
Let no fear of death appall us,
Glad your summons to obey
May we ever, 
May we ever,
Reign with you in endless day.

Thanks for Joining us for Worship!
