    Scripture Reading:                                                                    Psalm 46

    1 God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.

    2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

    3 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

     

    4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.

    5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.

    6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts.

    7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

     

    8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.

    9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the chariots with fire.

    10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”

    11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

     

     

    Prayer of Invocation

     

     

    Declaring What We Believe:

    Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God

    Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,

    Breathe new life into my willing soul.

    Bring the presence of the risen Lord

    To renew my heart and make me whole.

    Cause Your Word to come alive in me;

    Give me faith for what I cannot see;

    Give me passion for Your purity.

    Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

     

    Holy Spirit, come abide within;

    May Your joy be seen in all I do—

    Love enough to cover ev’ry sin

    In each thought and deed and attitude,

    Kindness to the greatest and the least,

    Gentleness that sows the path of peace.

    Turn my striving into works of grace.

    Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

     

    Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,

    Giving life to all that God has made,

    Show Your power once again on earth;

    Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.

    Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.

    Lead us on the road of sacrifice

    That in unity the face of Christ

    Will be clear for all the world to see.

    Red Hymnal #118                                  “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”

     

     

    In Christ There Is No East or West

    1. In Christ there is no east or west, in Him no pride of birth.

    The chosen family God has blessed now spans the whole wide earth.

     

    1. For God in Christ has made us one from every land and race.

    He reconciled us through His Son and met us with His grace.

     

    1. It is by grace we are assured that we belong to Him.

    The love we share in Christ our Lord, the Spirit works within.

     

    1. So, brothers, sisters, praise His name Who died to set us free

    from sin, division, hate, and shame, from spite and enmity.

     

    1. In Christ there is no east or west. He breaks all barriers down,

    by Christ redeemed, by Christ possessed, in Christ we live as one.

    Psalm 128C                                                                Blue Psalter, pg 845

    “Whoever Fears the Lord”

  • Reformation Hymn

    1. We will trust God’s Word alone, where His perfect will is known;

    Our traditions shift like sand while His Truth forever stands.

    We will live by faith alone, clothed in merit not our own;

    All we claim is Jesus Christ and His finished sacrifice.

     

    Chorus:      Glory be, glory be to God alone

    Through the church He redeemed and made His own;

    He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home;

    Glory be, glory be to God alone!

     

    1. We are saved by grace alone, undeserved, yet freely shown;

    No accomplishment on earth can achieve the second birth.

    We will stand on Christ alone, the unyielding Cornerstone;

    Nations rage and devils roar, still He reigns forevermore!

     

    Chorus:      Glory be, glory be to God alone

    Through the church He redeemed and made His own;

    He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home;

    Glory be, glory be to God alone!

    He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home;

    Glory be, glory be to God alone!

    Children’s Song:

    Trinity Song

    Verse 1

    God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, three in one.

    God the Father loves me so, Gave His Word so I would know.

    God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit three in one.

     

    Verse 2

    Three in one and one in three, God the Son, He died for me.

    For my sins His blood He gave, then He rose up from the grave.

    Three in one and one in three, God the Son He died for me.

     

    Verse 3

    Three in one and one in three, God the Spirit lives in me.

    Day by day and hour by hour- Helps me witness by His power.

    Three in one and one in three, God the Spirit lives in me.
