Welcome and Announcements

Gathering the Family Together

Red Hymnal #337                          “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                                  Psalm 133

¹ Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!

² It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron,
running down on the collar of his robes!

³ It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.

Prayer of Invocation

Congregational Response:

Psalm 133 A                                                         Blue Psalter, page 869

“Behold the Goodness of Our Lord”

Declaring What We Believe

The Nicene Creed

All:

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

Men & Boys:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

begotten from the Father before all ages,

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father.

Women & Girls

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;

he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,

and was made man.

Jubilee Singers

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered and was buried.

Women & Girls:

The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.

He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Men & Boys:

He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead.

His kingdom will never end.

All:

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life.

He proceeds from the Father and the Son,

and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.

He spoke through the prophets.

We believe in one holy universal and apostolic church.

We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,

and to life in the world to come.

Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Take Up Your Tambourines

I have drawn you with My loving kindness.

I have loved you with an everlasting love.

I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, Oh, virgin Israel.

La, la, la, la, la, la, …

So, take up your tambourines

and go out to dance with the children of Jerusalem.

Come, let us go up to Zion, and rejoice in holy celebration.

I have drawn you with My loving kindness.

I have loved you with an everlasting love.

I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, Oh, virgin Israel.

So, take up your tambourines

and go out to dance with the children of Jerusalem.

Come, let us go up to Zion, and rejoice in holy celebration.

La, la, la, la, la, la, …

Oh How Good It Is

Oh how good it is when the family of God

Dwells together in spirit, in faith and unity.

Where the bonds of peace, of acceptance and love,

Are the fruit of His presence here among us.

Refrain:     So with one voice we’ll sing to the Lord.

And with one heart we’ll live out his Word.

Till the whole earth sees the redeemer has come

For He dwells in the presence of His people.

Oh how good it is on this journey we share

To rejoice with the happy and weep with those who mourn.

For the weak find strength, the afflicted find grace,

When we offer the blessing of belonging.

Repeat Refrain

Oh how good it is to embrace His command

To prefer one another - forgive as He forgives.

When we live as one we all share in the love

Of the Son with the Father and the Spirit.

Repeat Refrain

The Potter’s Hand

Beautiful Lord, wonderful Savior,

I know for sure all of my days are held in Your hand;

Crafted into Your perfect plan.

I’m captured by Your holy calling,

Set me apart I know You are drawing me to Yourself;

Lead me Lord, I pray.

Chorus:     Take me, mold me, use me, fill me,

I give my life to the Potter’s hand.

Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me.

I give my life to the Potter’s hand.

You gently call me into your presence,

Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit.

Teach me, dear Lord, to live all of my life through Your eyes.

I’m captured by Your holy calling.

Set me apart I know You are drawing me to Yourself;

Lead me Lord, I pray.

Repeat Chorus

Sermon Hymn:

God and Man at Table Are Sat Down

As now before your very eyes unfold

The wonders all so long ago foretold.

Congregation:           God and man at table are sat down. (Repeat)

V2-Jubilee Singers:   Elders , martyrs all are falling down.

Prophets, patriarchs are gath’ring ‘round.

What angels longed to see now man has found.

Congregation:           God and man at table are sat down. (Repeat)

V3-Jubilee Singers:   Who is this who spreads the vict’ry feast:

Who is this who makes our warring cease;

Jesus, Risen Savior, Prince of Peace.

Congregation:           God and man at table are sat down. (Repeat)

V4-Jubilee Singers:   Beggars, lame, and harlots also here,

Repentant publicans are drawing near.

Wayward sons come home without a fear.

Congregation:           God and man at table are sat down. (Repeat)

V5-Congregation:     Worship in the presence of the Lord.

With joyful songs and hearts in one accord,

And let our Host at table be adored.

Congregation:           God and man at table are sat down. (Repeat)

V6-Congregation:     When at last this earth shall pass away;

When Jesus and His bride are one to stay;

The feast of love is just begun that day.

God and man at table are sat down.

God and man at table are sat down.

Communion

Prayer of Contrition

Sharing of the Elements

We invite to the Lord’s Table all those who are baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and are under the authority of Christ and His body, the Church. By eating the bread and drinking the wine with us as a visitor, you are acknowledging to the elders of this local church that you are in covenant with God and an active member of a congregation in which the gospel is faithfully confessed, taught, and believed. You also acknowledge that you are a sinner, without hope except in the sovereign mercy of God, and that you are trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you have any doubt about your participation, please speak to the elders before or after the service.

May the Peace

1. May the peace of God our Heav’nly Father,

and the grace of Christ the risen Son,

And the fellowship of God the Spirit

keep our hearts and minds within His love.

And to Him be praise for His glorious reign,

from the depths of earth to the heights of Heav’n;

We declare the name of the Lamb once slain—

Christ eternal the King of Kings.

2. May this peace which passes understanding,

and this grace which makes us what we are,

And this fellowship of His communion

make us one in spirit and in heart.

And to Him be praise for His glorious reign,

from the depths of earth to the heights of Heav’n;

We declare the name of the Lamb once slain—

Christ eternal the King of Kings.
