*CENTERING HYMN #507“I Come with Joy” v.1 • I come with joy to meet my Lord, forgiven, loved, and free,In awe and wonder to recall His life laid down for me, His life laid down for me.
*CENTERING HYMN #507“I Come with Joy” v.2 • I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed,The new community of love in Christ’s communion bread, in Christ’s communion bread
*CENTERING HYMN #507“I Come with Joy” v.3 • As Christ breaks bread and bids us share, each proud division ends.The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends.
*CENTERING HYMN #507“I Come with Joy” v.4 • And thus with joy we meet our Lord. His presence, always near,Is in such friendship better known: we see and praise Him here, we see and praise Him here.
*CENTERING HYMN #507“I Come with Joy” v.5 • Together met, together bound, we’ll go our different ways,And as His people in the world, we’ll live and speak His praise, we’ll live and speak His praise.
*CALL TO WORSHIP (unison) • God our Provider, we walked into church today needing you in different ways. Some of us need strength because we are facing a big challenge.
Some of us need hope, because we feel like giving up. Some of us need love because we are feeling alone. We trust that you will provide for us, whether through words or music,
or in a quiet moment of reflection. You are here, you are with us. Let us remember that always. Amen.
SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 146
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very daytheir plans cometo nothing.
Blessed are those whose help is in the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them – he remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.The Lord setsprisoners free,
the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. The Lord reigns forever, your God,O Zion,
SPECIALMUSIC “I Believe” ~Beth Resch
*HYMN #391“Take My Life” v.1 Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.Take my moments and my days: let them flow in ceaseless praise, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
*HYMN #391“Take My Life” v.2 Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee, swift and beautiful for Thee.
*HYMN #391“Take My Life” v.3 Take my voice, and let me sing, always, only, for my King.Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose, every power as Thou shalt choose.
PROCLAIMING THE WORD SCRIPTURE READING: Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? L: This is the Word of the Lord. P: Thanks be to God!
