Welcome & Call to Worship
[Psalm 100]
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness.
Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.
For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Let us worship the LORD!
O Sing to the Lord (Hymn 472)
Brazilian folk song
O sing to the Lord; O sing God a new song.
O sing to the Lord; O sing God a new song.
O sing to the Lord; O sing God a new song.
O sing to our God; O sing to our God.
For God is the Lord, and God has done wonders.
For God is the Lord, and God has done wonders.
For God is the Lord, and God has done wonders.
O sing to our God; O sing to our God.
So dance for our God and blow all the trumpets.
So dance for our God and blow all the trumpets.
So dance for our God and blow all the trumpets.
And sing to our God; And sing to our God.
For Jesus is Lord! Amen! Alleluia!
For Jesus is Lord! Amen! Alleluia!
For Jesus is Lord! Amen! Alleluia!
O sing to our God; O sing to our God.
Confession
God of all the earth, you have made us, and we are yours. You see potential for good in us even when we are not following your path. Forgive us for the times we have acted in anger, ignorance, or pride. Thank you for your mercy and patience. Restore us to live as you intend, in love and wonder and praise. Amen.

Jesus Knows the Inmost Heart
Pashto hymn
Please join in singing the Refrain:
Jesus knows the inmost heart: nothing can be hidden. (repeat)
This our sinful hearts require: flame of God’s refining fire,
Working in us day by day till the dross is burned away. (refrain)
Jesus knows our deepest fears, knows the pain of hidden tears,
By his words of love and peace every heart can find release. (refrain)
When our lives are in his hand nothing can his work withstand;
His forgiveness sets us free, saves us for eternity. (refrain)
Forgiveness in Jesus Christ

The peace of Christ be with you.
And also with you.

The Word in Song - Songs that matter to us
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise (Hymn 263)
Welsh Folk Melody/Smith
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree,
Then wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.
Thou reignest in glory, Thou rulest in light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!
All People That on Earth Do Dwell (Hymn 220)
Kethe/Bourgeois
All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell, come ye before him and rejoice.
Know that the Lord is God indeed; without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed, and for his sheep he doth us take.
O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do.
For why? The Lord our God is good, his mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.
Jesus Calls Us
Alexander/Jude
Jesus calls us: o’er the tumult of our life’s wild, restless sea;
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth saying, “Christian, follow me.”
Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world’s golden store,
From each idol that would keep us, saying, “Christian, love me more.”
In our joys and in our sorrow, days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, “Christian, love me more than these.”
Jesus calls us: by thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.
Christ, Be Our Light
Farrell
Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people, light for the world to see.
Refrain:
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has power to save us. Make us your living voice. (refrain)
Longing for food, many are hungry. Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others, shared until all are fed. (refrain)
Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone. (refrain)
Many the gifts, many the people, many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another, making your kingdom come. (refrain)
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (Hymn 464)
Dyke/Beethoven
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 gloom of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.
All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee.
Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morning stars began;
Love divine is reigning o’er us, joining all in heaven’s plan.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us sunward in the triumph song of life.
Prayers of the People & The Lord's Prayer
Betsy Hammond
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
