Call to Worship
Leader
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
People
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
All
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
—Hebrews 4:14-16
‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
And to take him at his word
Just to rest upon his promise
And to know, thus saith the Lord
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust him more
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust his cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust him more
I’m so glad I learned to trust him
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that he is with me
Will be with me to the end
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust him more
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust him more

Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough
You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough
You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

Praise to the Lord the Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise him
For he is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord
Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under his wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
If with his love he befriend thee
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him
Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him
(repeat)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sermon
“The Friendships that Accompany Us (along the way)”
2 Timothy 4:9-18
Prayer of Confession
Gracious and Loving Father,
Forgive and cleanse us from sin.
Where we have been self-seeking, humble us.
Where we have been indifferent, soften us.
Where we have wandered far from you, restore us.
Fill us with your Spirit, and enable us
To love the world you have made to be good,
And care for those, who like us,
Are weak and wounded by the fall.
That your glory will be known,
Until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From thy riven side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Cleanse me from it’s guilt and pow’r
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill thy law’s demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and thou alone
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
Naked, come to thee for dress
Helpless look to thee for grace
Foul, I to the fountain fly
Wash me, Savior, or I die
While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyelids close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
See thee on thy judgment throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee

The Apostles’ Creed (for reflection)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
