Welcome and Announcements

Gathering the Family Together

We Are Your Church

God has built His church on one foundation—

Jesus Christ, the Living Cornerstone.

Crucified and risen to redeem us,

We adore and worship Him alone.

Refrain:

We are Your church, Your bride, the people of Your name.

In Your strength we live; we worship, unashamed,

For Your cause we serve; We joyfully proclaim we are Your people;

We are Your church.

Set apart to serve our loving Savior,

given power to share redemption’s plan—

We will tell the world the love of Jesus;

we will preach the cross to every land.          (Repeat Refrain)

With a shout, the Bridegroom is returning.

Heaven’s Prince will come to claim His own.

We will rise to reign with Him forever;

We will sing our praise around His throne.    (Repeat Refrain)

Declaring What We Believe

We Believe

(Apostles Creed)

Refrain:   We believe in one true God; Father, Spirit, Son;

One Church, one faith, one Lord of all—His Kingdom come.

1. We believe in God the Father Almighty, Lord of Life;

Creator of the Heavens, the earth, the sea, the sky;

And we believe in Jesus, the only Son of God;

Born of the virgin Mary; He lived as one of us.                   (Refrain)

2. We believe that Jesus suffered, was beaten, crucified;

He died and He was buried; entombed in darkest night.

The third day rose victorious; ascended into Heaven;

Will one day come to judge us, the living and the dead.      (Refrain)

3. We believe in God the Spirit, One Church empowered by Him;

Communion of God’s people; forgiveness of our sin.

Our bodies resurrected to everlasting life;

To worship, love and wonder before the throne of Christ.   (Refrain)

We Respond to God’s Presence

Light of God

1. Light of God, come dwell within your people,

As intended from the dawn of time.

Make your goodness, echoed through creation, our desire;

Joy of The Divine.

Chorus:     Holy Spirit, break through our darkness,

Holy Spirit, breathe through our lives.

Light of God, come, radiant and glorious;

Perfect wisdom in this world today.

2. Light of God, come to Your fallen people,

As we follow in the steps of Christ.

May Your fragrance beautify Your people,

As we mirror our Creator’s light.                   (Repeat Chorus)

3. Light of God, come claim Christ’s stolen glory.

Burn the shadows with the flame of Truth.

May Your church rise, stars in the darkness,

Giving glory to the Lord of Light.                  (Repeat Chorus)

4. Light Divine, come Father of all beauty;

Son of goodness, Spirit of all Truth.

Move us, use us, people of Your vision,

As we wait for our returning King.                (Repeat Chorus)

Lord, We Hear Your Word with Gladness

Lord, we hear your Word with gladness: you have spoken—we rejoice:

Words of love and life and freedom—help us make their truth our voice!

Now in holy celebration for your Word we worship you;

Spoken, written, known in Jesus; ours today to prove anew.

May we hear with understanding, by your Spirit taught and led.

May the springs of all our being by your living Word be fed.

May our hearts accept with meekness

all the grace your light makes known.

May obedience mark our footsteps till we make each word our own.

You have spoken; yours the fullness, ours the wealth of this, your Word.

Debtors, then, as living letters, we must make your gospel heard!

By your Spirit’s power transform us; shed your saving light abroad

Till our lives by love in action show our world the truth of God!

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.

We Are Sent Forth in Worship

to Share the Gospel

Sent Forth by God’s Blessing

1. Sent forth by God’s blessing, our true faith confessing,

The people of God from this dwelling take leave.

The supper is ended. Oh, now be extended

The fruits of this service in all who believe.

The seed of Christ’s teaching, receptive souls reaching,

Shall blossom in action for God and for all.

Your grace shall incite us, your love shall unite us

To work for your kingdom and answer your call.

2. With praise and thanksgiving to God ever living,

The tasks of our everyday life we will face—

Our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring,

Embracing God’s children, the whole human race.

With your feast you feed us, with your light now lead us;

Unite us as one in the life that we share.

Then may all the living with praise and thanksgiving

Give honor to Christ and his name that we bear.
