Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 92:1-4, 12-15
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,
3 to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap,
15 showing that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
“Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee”
Hymn #17
Joyful, joyful,
we adore Thee,
God of Glory, Lord of Love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds
of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works
with joy surround Thee;
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays.
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest,
vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowering fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee!
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father,
Christ our Brother-
All who live in love are Thine.
Teach us how to love each other;
Lift us to the joy divine!
Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began.
Father-Love is reigning o’er us;
Brother-Love binds man to man.
Ever singing,
march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife.
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life!
Bless the Lord”
Hymn #27
Bless the Lord,
O my soul,
And all that is within me,
Bless His holy name.
He has done great things,
He has done great things,
He has done great things;
Bless His holy name.
"This is My Father's House"
Hymn #75
1 This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-
-His hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5;6-10, 14-17
6 So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.
10 For all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil.
14 For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.
15 And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way.
17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
“Who you Say I Am”
Who am I that the highest King

“No Longer a Slave to Fear”
You unravel me, with a melody
you surround me with a song
of deliverance, from my enemies
till all my fears are gone
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
From my mothers womb
you have known me
love has called my name
I’ve been born again, into a family
your blood flows through my veins
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I am surroundedby the arms of the Father
I am surroundedby songs of deliverance
We've been liberated
from our bondage
were the sons and the daughters
let us sing our freedom
You split the sea
so I could walk right through it
my fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued meand I will stand and sing
I am the child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
Scripture: Mark 4:26-34
26 He also said, "The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground,
27 and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how.
28 The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 He also said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it?
31 It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;
32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can
make nests in its shade."
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;
34 he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.
