Welcome and Announcements
Gathering Song:
Rejoice, Rejoice, Come Sing with Me
Rejoice, rejoice, come sing with me: “This is the house of God!”
The temple gates swing wide and free—this is the house of God!
For every tribe and every race this is the house of God!
God calls us to this holy place—this is the house of God!
In market square and city street we seek the peace of God.
Before the ruler’s judgment seat, we seek the peace of God.
In joyful song and whispered prayer we seek the peace of God.
God’s city can be anywhere we seek the peace of God.

Scripture Reading:
Acts 4:32-35
32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.
33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold
35 and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
Prayer of Invocation
We Believe in God the Father
We believe in God the Father, maker of the universe.
And in Christ the Son, our Savior, come to us by virgin birth.
We believe He died to save us, bore our sins, was crucified;
Then, from death, He rose victorious ascended to the Father’s side.
Chorus:
Jesus, Lord of all, Lord of all; Jesus, Lord of all, Lord of all.
Jesus, Lord of all, Lord of all; Jesus, Lord of all, Lord of all.
We believe He sends His Spirit on His church with gifts of pow’r.
God, His Word of truth affirming, sends us to the nations now.
He will come again in glory judge the living and the dead;
Ev’ry knee shall bow before Him, then must ev’ry tongue confess.
Repeat Chorus.

The Family Prayer Song
Come and fill our homes with Your Presence.
You alone are worthy of our reverence.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
We will serve the Lord.
Lord we vow to live holy, bowing our knees to You only.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
We will serve the Lord.
Staying together, praying together, any storm we can weather.
Trusting in God's Word, We need each other,
Fathers and Mothers, sisters and brothers, in harmony and Love.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord,
We will serve the Lord.
