WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

How Good It Is  
Enter His gates with thanks  
Enter His courts with praise 
Bring Him a shout of joy  
Sing of His endless fame  
For the Lord is good and His love endures  
His love endures forever  
We remember this, we remember this  

Oh how good that it is  
To sing praise to the Lord  
Oh how great is the Name above all Names  
From the rising of the morning sun  
To the setting of the same  
Oh how good that it is  
To sing praise, how good it is  

Rivers will clap their hands  
Mountains will lift their song  
Even the rocks cry out, creation stands in awe  
Of the One who was and the One who is  
And the One who reigns forever  
We remember this, we remember this  

Oh how good that it is  
To sing praise to the Lord  
Oh how great is the Name 
Above all Names  
From the rising of the morning sun  
To the setting of the same  
And with ev’ry breath inside our lungs 
Forever we will sing  
Oh how good that it is to sing praise 
Oh how good that it is  
To sing praise, how good it is  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

 Ministry Moment: Boo Bash

 Psalm 23/ Chancel Choir

 Scripture Reading: Matthew 6: 7-13/ Phil Clevenger  
“When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 
“Pray, then, in this way: 

Our Father in heaven, may your name be revered as holy. May your kingdom come.    May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.  

Sermon: "When You Don't Have A Prayer"/ Rev. Pat Sparks

O Come To The Altar  
Are you hurting and broken within  
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin, Jesus is calling  
Have you come to the end of yourself  
Do you thirst for a drink from the well, Jesus is calling  

O come to the altar, the Father’s arms are open wide  
Forgiveness was bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ 

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes  
Come today, there’s no reason to wait, Jesus is calling  
Bring your sorrows, trade them for joy  
From the ashes a new life is born, Jesus is calling  

Oh what a Savior, isn’t He wonderful  
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen  
Bow down before Him, for He is Lord of all  
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen  

Bear your cross as you wait for the crown  
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

Blessing Of Our Tithes And Offerings

I Am Not My Own  
The One who made the heavens  
Made my heart and soul  
Before I drew a breath  
I was loved and known  
I am his creation  
The Maker’s masterpiece  
And all that He designs  
Will be done in me  

My body is a temple of the Living God  
I’ll worship in this house  
That his blood has bought 
As I bear His image, oh may I not profane  
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame  

I belong to the Lord, I am not my own  
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own 
I will honor Him for this I know  
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own  

And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own  
The measure of my worth is His love alone 
He declares my standing  
And He declares my state  
So I will know myself by the name He gave  

I am not my own and now my heart 
Oh Maker, come and make what You will of me  
There is nothing broken  
That You cannot repair  
So Lord, I leave my life  
In Your loving care  

Doxology  
Praise God from whom all blessings flow  
Praise Him all creatures here below  
Praise Him above ye heavenly host  
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.  

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. 

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

 Victory In Jesus 
I heard an old, old story  
How a Savior came from glory  
How He gave His live on Calvary  
To save a wretch like me  
I heard about His groaning  
Of His precious blood’s atoning  
Then I repented of my sins  
And won the victory  

 O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever  
He sought me and bought me  
With His redeeming blood  
He loved me ere I knew Him  
And all my love is due Him  
He plunged me to victory   
Beneath the cleansing flood  

I heard about His healing  
Of His cleansing pow’r revealing  
How He made the lame to walk again  
And caused the blind to see 
And then I cried dear Jesus  
Come and heal my broken spirit  
And somehow Jesus came and brought   
To me the victory  

I heard about a mansion  
He has built for me in glory  
And I heard about the streets of gold  
Beyond the crystal sea  
About the angels singing  
The old redemption story  
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there  
The song of victory  

Benediction
