Call to Worship
Psalm 148
Leader: Praise the Lord!
All: Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Leader: Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!
All: Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven.
Invocation
God Calls Us
Welcome Song | Come Christians Join To Sing
1. All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Alleluia, alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam,
And shining moon with silver gleam,
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
2. All you who are of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
Alleluia, alleluia!
All you who pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and on him cast your care:
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
3. Let all things their creator bless,
And worship him in humbleness,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One:
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

1. Come, Thou Almighty King
Help us Thy name to sing
Help us to praise
Father, all glorious
O'er all victorious
Come and reign over us
Ancient of Days

Gird on Thy mighty sword
Our prayer attend
Come and Thy people bless
And give Thy word success

In this glad hour
Thou who Almighty art
Now rule in every heart
And ne'er from us depart
Spirit of pow'r

Eternal praises be
Hence evermore
Thy sov'reign majesty
May we in glory see
And to eternity
Love and adore
And to eternity
Love and adore

Cleanses Us
Confession of Sin & Silent Confession
God our Father, if you kept a record of wrong—O Lord, who could stand? We confess and lament that we have broken your laws, neglected your worship, and wounded our neighbors. But with you, Lord, there is forgiveness; in you there is steadfast love and plentiful redemption. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, forgive us and redeem us from all our iniquities, that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways. Amen.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Assurance of Pardon | From Romans 8:38-39
Song of Assurance | Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me
1. What gift of grace is Jesus, my Redeemer
There is no more for Heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
2. The night is dark, but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Savior, He will stay
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley, He will lead
Oh, the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
3. No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future's sure, the price, it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus, now and ever is my plea
Oh, the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
4. With every breath, I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day, I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
"Yet not I, but through Christ in me"

Communes with Us
Confession of Faith | Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
I believe 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, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come 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.
During this time, we invite EVERYONE to come forward or to go back if you are in the balcony.
The Supper is for followers of Jesus who trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and have publicly professed to follow Jesus and received Christian baptism.
If you are not a follower of Jesus, we welcome you to come forward to receive a blessing. You can indicate you won’t be taking the Lord’s supper by crossing your arms or saying to the server, “I will not be taking today.”
For those remaining in their seats who would like to be served, please let your usher know when folks begin to move forward, and they will bring the elements of the supper to you. Once you come forward, the cups with red are wine, and the cups with white are juice. All the bread is gluten-free.
Celebration of The Lord’s Supper
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host:
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Song of Sending I How Can I Keep From Singing?
1. In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest
drought and storm
What heights of love,
what depths of peace
When fears are stilled,
when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious
blood of Christ
4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
Benediction
