Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 34:9-14
9 O fear the Lord, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want.
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Which of you desires life, and covets many days to enjoy good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
“Jesus is Lord of All”
Hymn #275
All my tomorrows, all my past-
Jesus is Lord of all.
I’ve quit my struggles,
contentment at last!
Jesus is Lord of all.
King of Kings, Lord of Lords,
Jesus is Lord of all;
All my possessions and all my life-
Jesus is Lord of all.
All of my conflicts,
all my thoughts –
Jesus is Lord of all.
His love wins the battles
I could not have fought;
Jesus is Lord of all.
King of Kings, Lord of Lords,
Jesus is Lord of all;
All my possessions and all my life-
Jesus is Lord of all.
All of my longings, all my dreams-
Jesus is Lord of all.
All of my failures
His power redeems;
Jesus is Lord of all.
King of Kings, Lord of Lords,
Jesus is Lord of all;
All my possessions and all my life-
Jesus is Lord of all.
“Because He Lives”
Hymn #256
God sent His Son-
they called Him Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon;
An empty grave is there to prove
my Savior lives.
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living –
just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days
because He lives.
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living –
just because He lives.
And then one day I’ll cross the river;
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain.
And then, as death
gives way to vic-t’ry.
I’ll see the lights of glory –
and I’ll know He reigns.
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living –
just because He lives.
Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-20
15 Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise,
16 making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
17 So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,
19 as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts,
20 giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastoral Prayer
Scripture: John 6:51-58
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 So Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day;
55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever."
“We Want to see Jesus Lifted High”
We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across this land
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to heaven
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high
Step by step, we're moving forward
Little by little, taking ground
Every prayer a powerful weapon
Strongholds come tumbling down and down and down and down
We're gonna see, we're gonna see
We're gonna see Jesus lifted high
We're gonna see, we're gonna see
We're gonna see Jesus lifted high
“Known and Loved”
We've been hiding,
in the shadows
Lost and afraid of you
We've been wandering,
in the darkness
But if we only knew
We are known and loved
Known and loved
We are known and loved by you
You've been waiting,
to show us mercy
Your presence is our home
We're your children,
loved forever
Now every fear is gone
We are known and loved
Known and loved
We are known and loved by you
