Gathering the Family Together

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.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:11-16

¹¹ And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

¹² to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

¹³ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

¹⁴ so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

¹⁵ Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

¹⁶ from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Prayer of Invocation

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

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.

God, The Uncreated One

Verse 1

God the uncreated One, the Author of salvation;

Who wrote the laws of space and time,

Who fashioned worlds to His design.

The One whom angel hosts revere, hung the stars like chandeliers,

Numbered every grain of sand, knows the heart of every man.

He is King forever, He is King forever, He is King forevermore.

Verse 2

God our fortress and our strength, the Rock on which we can depend;

Matchless in His majesty, His power and authority.

Unshaken by the schemes of man, never changing, great I AM,

Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, He is faithful through it all.

Crown Him King forever, crown Him King forever,

Crown Him King forevermore.

Verse 3

Mighty God in mortal flesh, forsaken by a traitor’s kiss;

The curse of sin and centuries did pierce the lowly Prince of Peace.

Oh, lifted high, the sinless man, crucified the spotless Lamb,

Buried by the sons of man, rescued by the Father’s hand

To reign as King forever, reign as King forever,

reign as King forevermore.

Verse 4

King Eternal, God of Grace, we crown you with the highest praise;

Heaven shouts and saints adore, “You’re holy, holy, holy, Lord!”

What joy is everlasting life, all is love and faith is sight;

Justice rolls and praises rise, at the Name of Jesus Christ.

King of kings forever, King of kings forever, King of kings forevermore.

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
1. Your hand, O God, has guided Your church from age to age;
The tale of love is written for us on every page.

Our fathers knew Your goodness and we Your works record;

And each of these bear witness; One church, one faith, one Lord.

Refrain: One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Father, one Spirit, one Christ.

One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Heavenly King, Lord of all.
1. Your mercy never fails us, or leaves Your work undone;
With Your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won.

And then, by all creation, Your Name shall be adored;

With earth and Heaven singing: One church, one faith, one Lord.

We Worship Through Hearing

His Mercy Is More
1. What love could remember no wrongs we have done;
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.

Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore;

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
1. What patience would wait as we constantly roam;
What Father, so tender, is calling us home.

He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
1. What riches of kindness He lavished on us;
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost.

We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford;

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

Refrain: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more.

Stronger than darkness, new every morn;

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
