“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.

Video “Breathe on Me Breath of God"     UMH#420

Responsive Reading                                             Psalm 84:1 and 10-12
Leader: How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty.
People: A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of the Lord than live the “good life” in the homes of the wicked.
Leader: For the Lord God is our light and protector. He give us grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold from those who do what is right.
All: O Lord Almighty, happy are those who trust in you.
O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
For he alone is worthy. For he alone is worthy, For he alone is worthy. Christ the Lord.
 
Unison Invocation
Heavenly Father, gratitude comes hard to us. Boasting and blaming are easier, yet me trust that you know such things are products of our insecurities, fears, and ambitions. But now, in Your presence, in this place, with these other followers of Jesus, we are softened and find clarity and praise more compatible with what we truly believe. So on this day we humbly pause to praise you that when we gather in the name of Jesus Christ you are right here to disturb and renew us. Through Christ we pray. Amen.

Hymn: “Love Divine, All Love’s Excelling”   UMH#384 vs. 1,3                     
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus,
Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.

Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.

Closing Hymn “To God Be the Glory”  UMH#98 vs. 1 
To God be the glory,
great things He has done;
So loved He the world
that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life
an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate
that all may go in.

Praise the Lord,
praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord,
praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice! 
O come to the Father,
through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory,
great things He has done.

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.
