CALL TO WORSHIP

Calling Song   “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee”   UMH #89
​Joyful, joyful we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.
 
Responsive Reading from Psalm 68:32-35
Leader: The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength; indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.

People: Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.

​Leader: The seas have lifted up, Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea.

​People: The Lord on high is mighty!

All: Your statutes, Lord, stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days.

Unison Invocation
Heavenly Father, We gladly acknowledge your presence here today.
May your Holy Spirit open our minds to understand your will and ways.
We thank you for witnesses who show us how to follow your Son,
Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Hymn    “We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations”         UMH #569
We’ve a story to tell to the nations,
that shall turn their hearts to the right,
a story of truth and mercy, a story of peace and light,
a story of peace and light.
 
(Refrain)
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
and the dawning to noonday bright;
and Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
the kingdom of love and light.

 
We’ve a message to give to the nations, that the Lord who reigneth above hath sent us his Son to save us, and show us that God is love,
and show us that is love.
 
(Refrain)
 
Gospel Reading: John 17:1-11 
New Testament Reading: 1 Peter 5:6-11
God’s Word for God’s people! Thanks be to God!

Offering our gifts and tithes  
Offering prayer of Francis of Assisi, 13th century: 
O Divine Master,
Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayers of the People
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.

Hymn       "Come By Here, My Lord“”                                  
Come by here, my Lord, come by here.
Come by here my Lord, come by here.
Come by here, my Lord, come by here.
O Lord, come by here.
 
Someone needs you Lord, come by here.
Someone needs you Lord, come by here.
Someone needs you Lord, come by here.
Oh Lord, come by here.
 
Someone’s praying Lord, come by here.
Someone’s praying Lord, come by here.
Someone’s praying Lord, come by here.
Oh Lord, come by here.
 
Message               “You Will Be My Witnesses”      Acts 1:1-11

Commitment Hymn       “Soon and Very Soon”           UMH #706
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King;
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King;
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We’re going to see the King.
 
No more dying there…
 
No more crying there…
 
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
 
Postlude: “The Faithful Word,” a medley of “Standing on the Promises,” R. Kelso Carter and “How Firm a Foundation,” K; arranged by Carter Bradbury
