Call to Worship
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
—Psalm 92:1-4
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither to thy help I’ve come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let thy grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

King of Glory
Lift up your gaze, be lifted up
Tell everyone how great the love
The love come down from heaven’s gate
To kiss the earth with hope and grace
Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Lift up your hands, be lifted up
Let the redeemed declare the love
We bow down at heaven’s gate
To kiss the feet of hope and grace
Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
There is one God, he is holy
There is one Lord over everything
There is one King, he is Jesus
King of glory, strong and mighty
You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty

One And Only
Who spoke and taught the sun to rise
Whose lips proclaimed the birth of light
Who sparked the kindling of stars
And set the fire in our hearts
Who sang as planets learned their dance
Who poured the oceans from his hands
Whose breath awakened life from dust
And leaves me breathless at his touch
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone
Who is this man upon a cross
Who left his throne to ransom us
Who died to save us at our worst
And rose to give us heaven’s best
You rose to give us heaven’s best
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours
My Savior, Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone
We will watch the bridegroom come
And heaven breaking like the dawn
All dressed in white, our shame is gone
We’re free to dance before your throne
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours
My Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Sermon
“A New Community”
Ephesians 2:11-22
Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess
that we like to go our own way.
We have chosen to live apart from you.
Considering ourselves instead of others,
we pull away from the people you give us to love.
We make your church a place that serves our pride,
instead of a means to serve our neighbors.
Forgive us.
We wait patiently for you – cleanse us; renew us.
Make us the family you intend us to be.
We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
“As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!”
— Psalm 40:11
The Lord’s Supper
Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Ye wretched sinners come
And lay your load at Jesus’ feet
And plead what he has done
How can I come, some soul may say
I’m lame and cannot walk
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth
I sigh, but dare not talk
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Though lost, and blind, and lame
Jehovah is the sinner’s friend
And ever was the same
He makes the dead to hear his voice
He makes the blind to see
The sinner lost he came to save
And set the prisoner free
Come boldly to the throne of grace
For Jesus fills the throne
And those he kills he makes alive
He hears the sigh or groan
Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know
The hell of sin within
Come boldly to the throne of grace
The Lord will take you in, take you in
