Call to Worship
We come together to celebrate Jesus Christ,
who humbled himself,
becoming obedient to the point of death.
God raised him up
and gave him a name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus
everyone would bow down and confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
This is our God — come and worship!
—based on Philippians 2:5-11
This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres
This is my Father’s world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father’s world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet
This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad
This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad

Cornerstone
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus’ name
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all
When darkness seems to hide his face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My Anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all
When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless, to stand before the throne
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

Baptism {10:30 a.m. service}
Isaac Scot French will be baptized at the 10:30 service this morning upon his profession of faith. Isaac is the son of Eric and Sarah French, and brother to Rachel French.
A Profession of Faith
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.
—Apostles’ Creed
* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As thou hast been
Thou forever will be
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me
Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church
Sermon
“Our City”
Jeremiah 29:1-14
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 and care for those, who like us,
are weak and wounded by the fall,
and to desire justice and peace,
that your glory will be known,
until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Lord I Need You
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without you, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Where sin runs deep, your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
Jesus, you’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
You’re my one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Blest Be The Tie That Binds
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above
We share each other’s woes
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day
From sorrow, toil and pain
And sin, we shall be free
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity
