Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod, For I’m part of the family, the family of God Hymn: “Morning Has Broken” UMH#145 vs.1,3 Morning has broken like the first morning Angels are singing like the first day Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning Praise for them springing Fresh from the word. Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning born of the one light Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's re-cre-a-tion of the new day Responsive Reading From Psalm 48 Leader: Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. People: We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple All: Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth. Unison Invocation Almighty God, we ask you, who walked among us in the person of Jesus of Nazareth and now accompanies us through the Holy Spirit, to turn the places we live into strongholds of your grace, that the most vulnerable as well as the most powerful among us may find peace in the security that comes in the strong name of Jesus Christ. Amen Hymn: “God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens” UMH#150 vs.1,2 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, infinite in time and place, flung the suns in burning radiance through the silent fields of space, we your children, in your likeness, share inventive powers with you. Great Creator, still creating, Show us what we yet may do. Proudly we rise our modern cities, stately buildings, row on row; yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, stare on canyoned streets below, where the lonely drift unnoticed in the city's ebb and flow, lost to purpose and to meaning, scarcely caring where they go. Offering our gifts and tithes Offering Prayer Old Testament Reading 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 Gospel Reading - Mark 6:1-11 God’s Word for God’s People. Thanks be to God! Hymn “Come Thou Fount” UMH#400 vs. 1,2,3 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace Streams of mercy, never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it Mount of Thy unchanging love Here I raise my Ebenezer Here there by Thy great help I've come And I hope, by Thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God He, to rescue me from danger Interposed His precious blood O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be Let that grace now, like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to Thee Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here's my heart, O take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts above Message: “My Grace is Sufficient” 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 Farewell Leader The church is a family. United by the common recognition of Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we are all sisters and brothers. And, for a time, Payette First is our home. Like every family, our church family is formed and reformed over time; as members are born, as they die, as members are adopted into our family and as they leave our congregation for a new home in a different place. For a time, Annie and Danny Crego lived and served with us. Together we have laughed and cried, together we have worshiped and praised God. Together we have lived. Congregation We feel sad because you are leaving, yet we rejoice with you in anticipation of this new phase of life. We will miss your love and support, yet we know you will add much to the lives of those who will be your new church family. Congregational Prayer O God, you are the strength and the protector of your people. We place Danny and Annie in your hands as they leave us. Keep and preserve them, O Lord, in health and safety, both of body and soul. We pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Communion Service Our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another. Let us confess our sin before God and one another. Prayer of Confession and Pardon Merciful God, We confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. Our faith has been tested and we have stumbled. Our feet have strayed from the path of Christ and we have wandered from you. We have put our faith in the loud voices of this world, ignoring your whispers. Forgive us, we pray. We do want to follow Jesus, the Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen. (Leader) Hear the good news: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves Gods love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! (All) In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! Glory to God, Amen. Bread and Cup Unison Prayer: Eternal God, we give you thanks for this holy mystery in which “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Strengthen us in mind, body and soul for the days ahead. May your Spirit fill us as we live and pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. Closing Song “His Eye is on the Sparrow” UMH #617 all vs. Why should I feel discouraged? why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: (Chorus) His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. Let not your heart be troubled His tender word I hear And resting on His goodness I lose my doubts and fears I draw Him closer to me My constant friend is He: (Chorus) Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise, When song gives place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to him; From care he sets me free (Chorus) Benediction Thank you for Worshiping with us today!
