Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 37:1-9
1 Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of wrongdoers,
2 for they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will make your vindication shine like the light, and the justice of your cause like the noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices.
8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

“At Calvary”
Hymn #236
1 Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.
Refrain: Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.
2 By God's Word at last my sin I learned– Then I trembled at the Law I'd spurned, Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.
Refrain: Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.
3 Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary.
Refrain: Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.
4 O the love that drew salvation's plan! O the grace that brought it down to man! O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary.
Refrain: Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.
“Hallelujah I Am Free”

I am redeemed-all glory to the Lamb!
Saved from all sin and purified I am
Bought by the blood that flowed from Calvary,
For the Lord has made me free!
Chorus
Hallelujah, I am free!
O what glorious liberty,
Since the blessed Lord has cleansed
and made me whole!

All of my guilt on Jesus has been laid.
From all my sins I now have liberty.
Hallelujah, I am free!
Chorus

O what glorious liberty,
Since the blessed Lord has cleansed
and made me whole!
I am redeemed all glory to His name!

I was a slave, but I am free at last.
Once I was blind, but now the light I see.
Hallelujah, I am free!
Chorus
Hallelujah, I am free!
O what glorious liberty,
Since the blessed Lord has cleansed
and made me whole!
I am redeemed all glory to His name!

Both while on earth and for eternity.
Praise be to God for all He is to me!
Hallelujah, I am free!
Chorus
Hallelujah, I am free!
O what glorious liberty,
Since the blessed Lord has cleansed
and made me whole!
I am redeemed all glory to His name!
He abides within my soul.
Scripture: Lamentations 1:1-6
1 How lonely sits the city that once was full of people! How like a widow she has become, she that was great among the nations! She that was a princess among the provinces has become a vassal.
2 She weeps bitterly in the night, with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies.
3 Judah has gone into exile with suffering and hard servitude; she lives now among the nations, and finds no resting place; her pursuers have all overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
4 The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to the festivals; all her gates are desolate, her priests groan; her young girls grieve, and her lot is bitter.
5 Her foes have become the masters, her enemies prosper, because the Lord has made her suffer for the multitude of her transgressions; her children have gone away, captives before the foe.
6 From daughter Zion has departed all her majesty. Her princes have become like stags that find no pasture; they fled without strength before the pursuer.

Pastoral Prayer-Joys & Concerns
Scripture: Luke 17:5-10
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
6 The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
7 "Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, "Come here at once and take your place at the table'?
8 Would you not rather say to him, "Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink'?
9 Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded?
10 So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, "We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!' "
“Trust in You”
Letting go of every single dream I lay each one down at Your feet Every moment of my wandering Never changes what You see I've tried to win this war I confess My hands are weary I need Your rest Mighty Warrior, King of the fight No matter what I face, You're by my side When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings There's not a day ahead You have not seen So, in all things be my life and breath I want what You want Lord and nothing less When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

“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
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:1-14
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the sake of the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.
4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you.
6 For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands;
7 for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
8 Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God,
9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher,
12 and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him.
13 Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14 Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.
Message: Pastor Ryan
Communion
The Communion Supper, instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a sacrament, which proclaims His life, His sufferings, His sacrificial death and resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. It shows forth the Lord’s death until His return. The Supper is a means of grace in which Christ is present by the Spirit.
It is to be received in reverent appreciation and gratefulness for the work of Christ. All those who are truly repentant, forsaking their sins, and believing in Christ for salvation are invited to participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. We come to the table that we may be renewed in life and salvation and be made one by the Spirit.

We come to the table that we may be renewed in life and salvation and be made one by the Spirit.
In unity with the Church, we confess our faith:
Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Holy God, We gather at this, your table, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who by your Spirit was anointed to preach good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, set at liberty those who are oppressed.
Christ healed the sick, fed the hungry, ate with sinners, and established the new covenant for forgiveness of sins. We live in the hope of His coming again.
On the night in which He was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks, broke the bread, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise, when the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you, this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.” Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. And so, we gather as the Body of Christ to offer ourselves to you in praise and thanksgiving. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us and on these your gifts. Make them by the power of your Spirit to be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the Body of Christ, redeemed by His blood. By your Spirit make us one in Christ, one with each other, and one in the ministry of Christ to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, let us pray:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen
Benediction
