Welcome and Announcements
Gathering the Family Together
Psalm 134 A Blue Psalter, pg. 874
“Come, All You Servants of the Lord”
All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly
All who hunger, gather gladly; holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and wandering. Here in truth we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness, all around us is our food.
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.
All who hunger, never strangers; seeker, be a welcome guest.
Come from restlessness and roaming. Here in joy we keep the feast.
We that once were lost and scattered in communion’s love have stood.
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.
All who hunger, sing together, Jesus Christ is living bread.
Come from loneliness and longing. Here in peace we have been led.
Blest are those who from this table live their days in gratitude.
Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good.

Call To Worship
Scripture Reading: Romans 15:1-7
The Example of Christ
1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Prayer of Invocation
Declaring What We Believe
Romans 8:38-39
“Neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,
nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come;
neither height nor depth, nor all of creation
can ever separate us from the love of God
poured out in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

We Respond to God’s Presence
Be Exalted, O God
I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, among the people
I will sing praises to Thee among the nations.
For Thy steadfast love is great, Is great to the heavens
And Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness to the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
Let Thy glory be over all the earth.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
Let Thy glory be over all the earth. (Repeat verse)
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens
Let Thy glory be over all the earth
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens
Let Thy glory, let Thy glory,
Let Thy glory be over all the earth

May the Peoples Praise You
- You have called us out of darkest night into Your glorious light
That we may sing the wonders of the risen Christ
- May our every breath retell the grace that broke into our strife
With boundless love and deepest joy with endless life
Chorus: May the peoples praise You; Let the nations be glad
All Your blessing comes that we may praise
May praise the Name of Jesus
- All the earth is Yours and all within each harvest is Your own
And from Your hand we give to You to make Christ known
- May the seeds of mercy grow in us for those who have not heard
May songs of praise build lives of grace to spread Your Word
Repeat Chorus
- This our holy priv‘lege to declare Your praises and Your name
To every nation, tribe and tongue, Your church proclaims
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
All creation praise Your glorious Name

Jesus Saves
Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new.
Jesus saves.
- Hear the heart of heaven beating, “Jesus saves, Jesus saves,”
And the hush of mercy breathing, “Jesus saves, Jesus saves.”
Hear the host of angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”
And the sounding joy repeating, “Jesus saves.”
- See the humblest hearts adore Him. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
And the wisest bow before Him. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
See the sky alive with praise, melting darkness in its blaze.
There is light forevermore in “Jesus saves.”
- He will live, our sorrow sharing. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
He will die our burden bearing. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
“It is done!” will shout the cross, “Christ has paid redemptions’ cost!”
While the empty tomb’s declaring, “Jesus saves!”
Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new. (Repeat)
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
- Oh, to grace, how great a debtor, Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
Are the saints who shout together, Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
Rising up so vast and strong, lifting up salvation’s song.
The redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves!”
Rising up so vast and strong, lifting up salvation’s song.
The redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves!”

Children’s Sermon
Ten Commandments Song
God gave Moses Ten Commandments
after he delivered Israel out of Egypt out of bondage
these were God’s own words
First commandment God said you shall have no other gods before Me.
Second, you shall not make for yourself a car-ved image.
Third, you shall not take the na-me of the Lord your God in va-in.
Fourth, God said remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.
Fifth, honor your father and your mother.
Sixth, you shall not murder.
Seven, God said you shall not commit adultery.
Eighth, commandment you shall not steal.
Ninth, commandment you shall not bear false witness
against your neighbor.
Tenth, you shall not covet.
God descended in a fi-re down upon the Mount of Sinai.
On the mount He spoke to Moses
these the Ten Commandments.
