Welcome and Announcements

“The Family of God”
I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God
I've been washed in the fountain
Cleansed by His blood
Joint heirs with Jesus
As we travel this sod
For I'm part of the family, The family of God
 
Hymn: How Great Thou Art   UMH 77 all vs.    
O Lord my God!
When I in awesome wonder
consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
thy power throughout the universe displayed.
 
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my savior God to thee;
how great thou art, how great thou art! 
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee;
how great thou art, how great thou art!
 
When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze;
 
And when I think, That God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
 
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. 
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
and there proclaim,    
my God, how great Thou art!
     
Responsive Reading from Psalm 27
          Leader: The Lord is my light and my salvation -
          People: whom shall I fear?
          Leader: The Lord is the stronghold of my life -
          People: of whom shall I be afraid?
          Leader: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
          All: Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord

Unison Invocation
Heavenly Father, fill this place with your peace,
not that fragile and undependable peace that the world offers
but the peace that goes to our souls.
Help us hear the good news that reminds us that we are loved.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hymn:  The Church’s One Foundation  MH#545 vs. 1,2,5  
The church's one foundation 
is Jesus Christ her Lord; 
she is his new creation 
by water and the Word. 
From heaven he came 
and sought her, to be his holy bride; 
with his own blood he bought her, 
and for her life he died.

Elect from every nation, 
yet one o'er all the earth; 
her charter of salvation, 
one Lord, one faith, one birth; 
one holy name she blesses, 
partakes one holy food, 
and to one hope she presses, 
with every grace endued.

Yet she on earth has union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! 
Lord, give us grace that we
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.
                       
Message:   But We See Jesus  Hebrews 1: 1-4 and 2: 5-11      
  
Communion Hymn: Let Us Break Bread Together      UMH#618 all vs.                            
Let us break bread together
on our knees,
let us break bread together
on our knees
When I fall on my knees
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
 
Let us drink wine together
on our knees,
let us drink wine together
on our knees.
When I fall on my knees
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
 
Let us praise God together
on our knees,
let us praise God together
on our knees.
When I fall on my knees
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
 
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.

Closing  Song - Teresa’s Prayer  
Christ be in my mind and in my thinking,
Christ be in my eyes, in everything I see,
Christ be in my ears and in my hearing,
Christ be in my mouth, in every word I speak,
Christ be in my heart and in my loving,
Christ be in my life, each moment that I live.
  
Benediction              
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
