Gathering the Family Together

Red Hymnal #392                           “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come”

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                    Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.

¹⁰ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!

¹¹ Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?

¹² And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

Psalm 138

Congregation:

¹ I thank you, Lord, with all my heart,
you have heard the words of my mouth.
In the presence of the angels I will bless you.

² I will adore before your holy temple.

Jubilee Singers:

I thank you for your faithfulness and love
which excel all we ever knew of you.

³ On the day I called, you answered;
you increased the strength of my soul.

Men & Boys:

⁴ All earth's kings shall thank you
when they hear the words of your mouth.

⁵ They shall sing of the Lord's ways:
“How great is the glory of the Lord!”

Women & Girls:

⁶ The Lord is high yet he looks on the lowly
and the haughty he knows from afar.

⁷ Though I walk in the midst of affliction
you give me life and frustrate my foes.

Congregation:

You stretch out your hand and save me,
and your hand will do all things for me.

Your love, O Lord, is eternal,
discard not the work of your hands..

Sermon Hymn:

We Are the Body of Christ

One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You: We are the body of Christ.

One goal, one vision, to see You exalted; We are the body of Christ.

And to this we give our lives; to see You glorified.

One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ.

One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You: We are the body of Christ.

One goal, one vision, to see You exalted; We are the body of Christ.

And to this we give our lives; to see You glorified.

One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ.

And to this we give our lives; to see You glorified.

One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ,

We are the body of Christ, we are the body of Christ.
