Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                              Acts 2:42-47

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴² And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

⁴³ And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

⁴⁵ And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

⁴⁶ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,

⁴⁷ praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

Come Praise and Glorify

(Based on Ephesians 1)

Come praise and glorify our God, the Father of our Lord

In Christ He has in heav’nly realms His blessings on us poured

For pure and blameless in His sight He destined us to be

And now we’ve been adopted through His Son eternally

Refrain:       To the praise of Your glory,

To the praise of Your mercy and grace

To the praise of Your glory

You are the God who saves

Come praise and glorify our God Who gives His grace in Christ

In Him our sins are washed away redeemed through sacrifice

In Him God has made known to us the myst’ry of His will

That Christ should be the head of all His purpose to fulfill     (Refrain)

Come praise and glorify our God for we’ve believed the Word

And through our faith we have a seal the Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit guarantees our hope until redemption’s done

Until we join in endless praise to God, the Three in One        (Refrain)

We Respond to God’s Presence

Rejoice
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always, sing it again, we rejoice.
Delight in the love He has shown us, gratefully lift up your voice.

His gentleness among us will join our hearts with praise.

We gather in His goodness, a family of grace.

Refrain:

With each breath He’s given, praise the Lord!

In these times we live in, we will praise the Lord.

Throughout every season, I am sure

we have every reason to praise the Lord.
1. Rejoice and be anxious for nothing, praying for all that you need.
Come with a song of thanksgiving; lay your requests at His feet.

His peace will fall upon us, to guard our hearts and minds

In Christ, who reigns eternal; the Shepherd of our lives.

Repeat Refrain
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; tell of the good He has done.
Worship the Lord, to remember all of the joy yet to come.

The hope that burns within us the dark cannot destroy,

With praise that’s never ending, we say again, “Rejoice!”

Repeat Refrain

We have every reason to praise the Lord.

Sermon Hymn:

Press On
1. Where two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord,
He is here, He is here in our midst.

And we will sing together, be renewed by the Word.

When we part, may we go in His peace.

Chorus: Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.

Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!

Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.
1. Now let the Word be scattered like the seed on the soil;
Day by day, watch it grow in His care.

And may you be a shelter as you reach to the lost,

Glad in hope, calm in pain, true in prayer.

Chorus: Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.

Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!

Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

Keeping watch through the night till He comes.

For soon it will be morning and the sun will appear;

Christ who brought us this far brings us home.

Chorus: Press on, all you saints, press on till the end.

Christ with us, ever with us until He comes again.

Press on, all you saints, run and run to win!

Christ with us, ever with us---until He comes again.

Oh, until He comes again.
