 Payette United Methodist Church Second Sunday after Epiphany January 17, 2021 Prelude Welcome Interlude Welcoming the neighborhood to worship Call To Worship: Reading from Psalm 139 Leader: You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. People: You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Leader: Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely. Such knowledge is too great for me, too lofty for me to attain. People: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. All: See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Calling Song Change My Heart, O God TFWS #2152 Change my heart, O God, make it ever true. Change my heart, O God, may I be like you. You are the potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me, that is what I pray. Change my heart, O God, make it ever true. Change my heart, O God, may I be like you. Unison Invocation 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. Old Testament Reading - 1 Samuel 3:1-10 Gospel Reading - John 1:29-34 and 40-42 God’s Word for God’s people, Thanks be to God! Prayers of the People Hymn Just a Closer Walk with Thee TFWS #2158 I am weak but thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong; I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk, let me walk, close to thee. Refrain Just a closer walk with thee, grant it Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to thee; Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. Through this world of toils and snares, if I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but thee, dear Lord, none but thee. When this feeble life is o’er, time for me will be no more; Guide me gently, safely o’er to thy shore, dear Lord, to thy shore. Message “Come and See” John 1:35-39 Commitment Hymn More Like You TFWS #2167 More like you, Jesus, more like you. Fill my heart with your desire to make me more like you. More like you, Jesus, more like you. Touch my lips with holy fire and make me more like you. 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.
