  1. Prelude Prince of Denmark March by Jeremiah Clarke James Cesare, trumpet

  2. Call to Worship A Prayer of the Apostle Paul Romans 11:33-36; Adapted

  3. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are God’s judgments and how inscrutable God’s ways!

  4. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell God what to do? Anyone who has done God such a huge favor that God had to ask their advice?

  5. Everything comes from God; Everything happens through God; Everything ends up in God. Always glory! Always praise! Yes! Let us worship this God in prayer and praise and song!

  6. Opening Hymn NCH #21 God Reigns o’er All the Earth

  7. God reigns o’er all the earth! Green hills and valleys low, the farms and towns in golds and browns God’s grace and beauty show. God reigns o’er all the earth! Stone banks and spreading plains, in rainbow hues – reds, yellows, blues – of streams and country lanes.

  8. God reigns o’er human life! Through youth and aging years, in death, in birth, in grief, in mirth, in all our hopes and fears. God reigns o’er human life! Our inspiration still. Through all our schemes, in all our dreams, we see God’s reigning will.

  9. God reigns o’er time and space! In history’s bygone days. Christ’s faithful folk in reverence spoke to bring God earnest praise. God reigns o’er time and space! O’er galaxy and sun, through timeless years the cosmos hears the heavenly music run

  10. God reigns! Emmanuel! God with us every day, in all our past and to the last, our comfort and our stay. God reigns! Emmanuel! Let praise to Christ be sung! God’s presence here makes all things dear, Let joyful bells be rung!

  11. Please be Seated

  24. O Bread of life, for all things breaking, the bitter cup on Calvary draining; Redeemed by grace, we join in feasting, at your command the past remembering.

  25. We come this day in humble worshiping; our land is scarred, earth’s people suffering; O sacred face, blood and tears mingling, all human pain you are still bearing.

  34. Touch the earth lightly, use the earth gently, nourish the life of the world in our care: Gift of great wonder, ours to surrender, trust for the children tomorrow will bear.

  35. We who endanger, who create hunger, agents of death for all creatures that live, We who would foster clouds of disaster God of our planet, forestall and forgive?

  36. Let there be greening, birth from the burning, water that blesses, and air that is sweet, Health in God's garden, hope in God's children, regeneration that peace will complete.
