Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 107:1-3, 23-32
1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
23 Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the mighty waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their calamity;
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards, and were at their wits' end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out from their distress;
29 he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind.
32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
“Give Thanks”
Hymn #770
Give thanks with a grateful heart;
Give thanks to the Holy One;
Give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son.
Give thanks with a grateful heart;
Give thanks to the Holy One;
Give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son.
And now let the weak say,
“I am strong;” Let the poor say,
“I am rich,” because of what
the Lord has done for us.
And now let the weak say,
“I am strong;” Let the poor say,
“I am rich,” because of what
the Lord has done for us.
“He Lives”
Hymn #262
I serve a risen Savior;
He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him,
He’s always near.
He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart!
In all the world around me,
I see His loving care;
And tho’ my heart grows weary,
I never will despair.
I know that He is leading
Thro’ all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing
will come at last.
He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian!
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ,
the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him,
The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.
He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart!
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-13
1 As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain.
2 For he says, "At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you." See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!
3 We are putting no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
4 but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,
5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love,
7 truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
8 in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
9 as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed;
10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken frankly to you Corinthians; our heart is wide open to you.
12 There is no restriction in our affections, but only in yours.
13 In return—I speak as to children—open wide your hearts also.

Pastoral Prayer
Scripture: Mark 4:35-41
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."
36 And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him.
37 A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped.
38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"
39 He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.
40 He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"
41 And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
“Blue Collar Praise”
We dream of you on city streets
Breathing again on our bones
We dream of you at kitchen sinks
Your glory filling our homes
Hath won my affection and bound my soul fast.
Without Thy sweet mercy, I could not live here.
Sin would reduce me to utter despair,
But through Thy free goodness,
my spirit's revived
And He that first made me
still keeps me alive.
Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart.
Dissolved by Thy
goodness, I fall to the Ground
And weep for the praise of the mercy I've found
Hallelujah(Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
Great Father of mercies,
Thy goodness I own
In the covenant love of Thy crucified Son.
All praise to the Spirit,
Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.
[2x]
Well, Hallelujah
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Well, Hallelujah
“Centering Prayer”
[Chorus]
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna breathe the life around me
I wanna listen as my heart beats, right on time
I wanna be where my feet are
[Verse 1]
I chase my worries
I flee my sorrows
But what you give me
is now
So take my burdens
and my tomorrows
I wanna be where my feet are, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
[Chorus]
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna breathe the life around me
I wanna listen as my heart beats, right on time
I wanna be where my feet are
[Verse 2]
I run to capture
the next horizon
but what you give me
is here
I get no farther
and still I find you
I wanna be where my feet are
[Bridge]
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna be where my feet are
The ground below me
is how you hold me
I wanna be where my feet are
The ground below me
is how you hold me
I wanna be where my feet are
The ground below me
is how you hold me
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna be where my feet are
I wanna be where my feet are
[Outro]
I wanna be where my feet are
