Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 34:15-22
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20 He keeps all their bones; not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
“The Churches One Foundation”
Hymn #668
The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord.
She is His creation
By water and the Word.
From heav’n He came
and sought her To be
His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
Elect from ev’ry nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses;
Partakes one holy food;
And to one hope she presses,
With ev’ry grace endued.
‘Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till, wit the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
Yet she on earth hath union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic, sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
“A Glorious Church”
Hymn #672
Do you hear them coming, brother,
Thronging up the steeps of light,
Clad in glorious, shining garments-
Blood-washed garments
pure and white?
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Do you hear the stirring anthems
Filling all the earth and sky?
‘Tis a grand, victorious army.
Lift its banner up on high!
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Never fear the clouds of sorrow;
Never fear the storms of sin.
We shall triumph on the morrow;
Even now our joys begin.
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Wave the banner;
shout His praises,
For our victory is nigh!
We shall join our conqu’ring Savior;
We shall reign with Him on high!
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
‘Tis a glorious Church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-20
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness.
15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.
16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.
19 Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak.

Pastoral Prayer
Scripture: John 6:56-69
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."
59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?"
61 But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, "Does this offend you?
62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64 But among you there are some who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him.
65 And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father."
66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him.
67 So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
“Jesus Loves the Little Children”
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world;
Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
“Only a Boy Named David”
Only a boy named David, only a little sling,
only a boy named David, but he could pray and sing.
Only a boy named David, only a rippling brook,
only a boy named David, but five little stones he took.
And one little stone went in the sling,
and the sling went round and round.
And one little stone went in the sling,
and the sling went round and round,
and round and round and round and round,
and round and round and round.
And one little stone went up in the air,
and the giant came tumbling down.
