Order Of Worship
Call To Worship – Psalm 8
Prayer:
To be read aloud, together:
Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
SONG: Praise The Lord
Praise the Lord, O my soul, rejoice!
For His love is strong and His mercies are never-ending
Praise the Lord, O my soul, rejoice!
For His love is strong and His mercies are never-ending
All that I've needed, You have provided
Great is Your faithfulness
O Lord Your mercy is new every morning
Great is Your faithfulness,
All the people sing
From the beginning, You have been with me
Great is Your faithfulness
When I am downcast Your love is steadfast
Great is Your faithfulness,
All the people sing
Holy, Holy Lord God almighty, so worthy to be praised
Holy, Holy Lord God almighty, my soul will bless your name,
All the people sing
General Confession
To be read aloud, together:
Almighty and most merciful Father,
We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.
READING OF THE WORD – Romans 8:26-30
At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God
SONG: Good To Me
I put all my hope in the truth of Your promise
And I steady my heart on the ground of Your goodness
When I'm bowed down with sorrow, I will lift up Your name
And the foxes in the vineyard will not steal my joy
Because You are good to me, good to me
You are good to me, good to me
You are good to me
I lift my eyes to the hills where my help is found
Your voice fills the night, raise my head up to hear the sound
Though fires burn all around me, I will praise You my God
And the foxes in the vineyard will not steal my joy
Song: He Will Hold Me Fast
When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.
He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast.
Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast.
For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight When He comes at last!
Sermon: The Lord Visited His People (Ruth 1:1-22)
Communion
SONG: All I Have & All I Need (Psalm 34)
The Lord is near the broken hearted
For crushed in spirit He does care
Draw near to Him all His children
No thing too heavy for Him to bear
The Lord redeems my life, I shall not be condemned
When we cry for help, yes our God does hear
If we hide in Him, He does calm our fears
We will thirst no more, the hungry He will feed
He’s all that I have and all that I need
My soul will boast in its savior
Let humble hear and be glad
Oh magnify the lord together
Sing his glory through the night
See this poor man cried, the Lord did rescue him
Yes the Lord is good oh I taste and see
That He’s all that I have and He’s all that I need
Benediction:
May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
