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

“Open Our Eyes”  TFWS# 2086 2x
Open our eyes, Lord,
We want to see Jesus,
To reach out and touch him,
and say that we love him.
Open our eyes, Lord,
And help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord,
We want to see Jesus. (Repeat All)

Responsive Reading from Psalm 1                                     
Leader: Happy are those who will not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit with scoffers.
People: Happy are those who delight in the law of the Lord, and meditate on his law day and night.
All: They are like trees planted by streams of water.

Unison Invocation
Now, Heavenly Father, calm us into a peace that heals and shapes our longings, questions, wounds, and passions into a more holy life that looks like Jesus in whose name we pray. Amen

Hymn: “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name” UMH #79 vs. 1,4,5   
Holy God, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before thee;
all on earth thy scepter claim;
all in heaven above adore thee.
Infinite thy vast domain;
everlasting is thy reign.
 
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit: three we name thee,
though in essence only one;
undivided God we claim thee,
and adoring bend the knee
while we own the mystery.
 
Christ, thou art our glorious King,
Son of God, enthroned in splendor,
But deliverance to bring
Thou all honors didst surrender,
And wast of a virgin born,
Humbly on that blessed morn.

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer

Hymn: “Take My Life, and Let It Be”  UMH#399 vs.1,3
Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Your love.
Take my feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee.
 
Take my will, and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Your own;
it shall be Your royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at Your feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

Message:  "Show Me"   James 3:13-18

Commitment Hymn “Rise Up, O Saints of God”  UMH#576 vs. 1,3
Rise up, O Saints of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul
and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
 
Rise up, O Saints of God!
The Church for you does wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great.

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 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.
