Amen PRAYER HYMN “Sweet Hour of Prayer” #496 United Methodist Hymnal Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father’s throne make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share Of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, And gladly take my station there, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I’ll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! PASTORAL 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. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 14:13-21 Leader: The Word of God for the people of God People: Thanks be to God. COMMUNION MEDITATION: “Are You Hungry?” Dr. D. Scott Allen COMMUNION LITURGY: (including the Apostles’ Creed) 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 arose 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 resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail By the living word of God I shall prevail. Standing on the promises of God. Refrain Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, Bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord, Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword, Standing on the promises of God.
