Call to Worship
I will bless the Lord at all times—
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will rejoice in the Lord;
let the humble hear it and rejoice.
Come, glorify our God with me.
Let us exalt his name together!
—Psalm 34:1-3
And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died he for me who caused his pain
For me who him to death pursued
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
He left his Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

With all my heart
With all my soul

A Statement of Faith
We believe in Jesus Christ
who was of David’s line, born of Mary,
who was truly born, ate and drank;
was truly persecuted under Pontius Pilate,
truly crucified and died while those in heaven,
on earth, and under the earth beheld it;
who also was truly raised from the dead,
the Father having raised him,
who in like manner will raise us also who believe in him–
his Father, I say, will raise us in Christ Jesus,
apart from whom we have not true life.
—Ignatius of Antioch, 110 AD
All the Poor and Powerless
All the poor and powerless
And all the lost and lonely
And all the thieves will come confess
And know that you are holy
And know that you are holy
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
All the hearts who are content
And all who feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that you are holy
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God
Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah
And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

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
Be Thou My Vision
Be thou my vision
O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that thou art
Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light
Be thou my wisdom
And thou my true word
I ever with thee
And thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father
I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with thee one
Riches I heed not
Nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always
Thou and thou only
First in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure thou art
High King of heaven
My victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys
O bright heav’ns Son
Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O ruler of all
