Call to Worship
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
—Psalm 5:11
Rejoice
Come and stand before your Maker
Full of wonder, full of fear
Come behold his power and glory
Yet with confidence draw near
For the one who holds the heavens
And commands the stars above
Is the God who bends to bless us
With an unrelenting love
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood
Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still
Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed
Rejoice!
When you cry to him
He hears your voice
He will wipe away your tears
Rejoice!
In the midst of suffering
He will help you sing…
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

Before the Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, and perfect plea
A great high Priest whose name is ‘Love’
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on his hands
My name is written on his heart
I know that while in heav’n he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me
To look on him and pardon me
Behold him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace
One with himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

Gifts
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

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

Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth

Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside
Great is thy faithfulness

New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness

Sermon
“You Are….(Pt. 2)”
Matthew 5:13-16
Prayer of Confession
Most merciful God we confess
that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed;
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart.
We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry, and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name.
Amen
—from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer
Assurance of Pardon
God assures us that when “we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”
—1 John 1:9
The Lord’s Supper
Nothing But the Blood
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
