CALL TO WORSHIP
Calling Song                   “Bless His Holy Name”                 TFWS #2015
Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
He has done great things, He has done great things,
He has done great things, bless His holy name.
                  
Responsive Reading from Psalm 133
Leader: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

O God, may you inhabit our praise today. Grant us healthy bodies and minds, not just that we might be healthy but so that we might love and serve you with our whole strength and joyful hearts.
To you be the glory in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Gracious, gift giving God,

Hymn           “Be Thou My Vision”      UMH #451
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
 
Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
Great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.

Prayers of the People and 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 and ever. Amen.

Commitment Chorus             “Open Our Eyes”         TFWS #2086
Open our eyes, lord, we want to see Jesus,
To reach out and touch him, and say that we love him.
Open our ears, Lord, and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus.
  
Unison 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.
