WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

The Commission  
See my hands, look at my feet  
It’s okay, if it’s hard to believe 
I have faith you will do greater things  
It’s my time to go  
But before I leave  

Go tell the world about me 
I was dead but now I live  
I’ve gotta go now for a little while  
But goodbye is not the end  

Don’t forget the things that I taught you  
I’ve conquered death and I hold the keys  
Where I go you will go too, someday  
But there’s much to do  
Here before you leave, so  

End of the journey, the end of the road  
My spirit is with you wherever you go  
You have a purpose and I have a plan  
I’ll make you this promise   
I’ll come back again, but until then  

Ancient Of Days  
Though the nations rage  
Kingdoms rise and fall  
There is still one King  
Reigning over all  
So I will not fear for this truth remains  
That my God is the Ancient of Days  

None above Him, none before Him  
All of time in His hands  
For His throne, it shall remain  
And ever stand  
All the power, all the glory 
I will trust in His name  
For my God is the Ancient of Days  

Though the dread of night  
Overwhelms my soul  
He is here with me, I am not alone  
Oh His love is sure and He knows my name  
For my God is the Ancient of Days  

Though I may not see what the future brings 
I will watch and wait for the Savior King  
Then my joy complete, standing face to face  
In the presence of the Ancient of Days  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

 Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 12: 12-27/ Kay Farmer  
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.  

Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot would say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear would say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many members yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those members of the body that we think less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect, whereas our more respectable members do not need this. But God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member, that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

Sermon: A Member Participates

Peace  
When my mind is like a battlefield 
And my heart is overcome by fear  
And hope seems like a ship that’s lost at sea  

My enemies on every side  
And I’m tempted to run and hide  
Your gentle whisper reaches out to me  

Peace, holds me when I’m broken  
Sweet peace, that passes understanding  
When the whole wide world is crashing down  
I fall to my knees and breathe in Your peace  

Fiery arrows whistling  
The terror of the night sets in  
But I can feel Your angels all around  

I am resting underneath  
The shelter of Your mighty wings  
Your promises are where my hope is found  

I remember who You are  
You’re the God who’s never far  
So I will not be afraid  
God, You always keep me safe in your arms  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

Praise Him all creatures here below  
Praise Him above ye heavenly host

WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS TO GOD

Time Of Prayer

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.  

Affirmation Of Faith  
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;  
The third day he rose 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.
