Call to Worship
The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;
indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.
Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.
The seas have lifted up, Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the Lord on high is mighty.
—Psalm 93:1-4
Great and Mighty King
Your love has rescued us
The cross delivered all our hearts from fear
Our hope is here
You came to make a way
Jesus, you came to raise the dead to life
Our song will rise
O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy
What do we have to bring
This is our offering, our hearts before
The risen Lord
All power in your name
Jesus, the One who saves, be lifted high
Our song will rise
O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy
Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise
Forever hallelujah
Forever hallelujah
Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise
Forever hallelujah

Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise
Forever hallelujah

Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise

O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy

Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Good, Good Father
I’ve heard a thousand stories
Of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never alone
You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
I’ve seen many searching
For answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you provide
‘Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word
You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still as you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still into love, love, love
You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

Acts 15:22-35
Prayer of Confession
Faithful Father and Almighty King,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
In you alone we have our life and being.
Our sins are many
and our weakness abounds.
Have mercy on us, Lord.
Cleanse us from our unrighteousness.
Forgive our transgressions, both public and private,
convict our hearts of deep and hidden sin.
Renew our spirits and strengthen our faith.
Shape us into a community that reflects your glory,
with deep love for one another, and this world
you created to be good.
Until heaven and earth are one.
Through Jesus. Amen
The Lord’s Supper
Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are, come as you are
Fall in his arms, come as you are
There’s joy for the morning, O sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart
Come as you are
