Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 123
1 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he has mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.
“Lord, I Lift Your Name on High”
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high

“He Hideth my Soul”
Hymn #572
A wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me.
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hid-eth my life in the depths
of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
A wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord.
He tak-eth my burden away.
He hold-eth me up,
and I shall not be moved.
He giv-eth me strength as my day.
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hid-eth my life in the depths
of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
When, clothed in His bright-ness,
transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation,
His wonderful love
I’ll shout with the millions on high!
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hid-eth my life in the depths
of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
2 Corinthians 12:2-10
2 I know a person in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows.
3 And I know that such a person—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows—
4 was caught up into Paradise and heard things that are not to be told, that no mortal is permitted to repeat.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.
6 But if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think better of me than what is seen in me or heard from me,
7 even considering the exceptional character of the revelations. Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated.
8 Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me,
9 but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10 Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

Pastoral Prayer
Scripture: Mark 6:1-13
1 He left that place and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
2 On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They said, "Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands!
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
4 Then Jesus said to them, "Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house."
5 And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them.
6 And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then he went about among the villages teaching.
7 He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8 He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;
9 but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics.
10 He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.
11 If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them."
12 So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
13 They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
“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
CHORUS
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
BRIDGE
There is no fear anymore,
cause all that’s left is mercy
There is no fear in your love, you’re the God of mercy
There is no fear anymore, cause all that’s left is mercy
There is no fear in your love - In your love
“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 divineSeals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.[2x]
Well, HallelujahHallelujah (Hallelujah)Well, Hallelujah

“Commune’s with God: Eucharist”
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.
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
“Come to the Table”
Come all proud, come all greedy
Come all liars, come all shamed
Come all wealthy, come receive it
To the table, come today
Come all broken, come all needy
Come all poor, and come all slaves
Come all rulers, come be seated
Come all sinners, come all saints
Come to the table,
from near and from far
Come from the shadows,
come out of the dark
There's room at the table,
we saved you a seat
Come to the banquet,
come join in the feast
Every race, every nation
Come all rebels, come today.
From the fringes, come to Jesus
To a table full of grace
To the table come and stay
Come to the table,
come eat and drink
There's no inner circle,
come dine with the king
Recline at the table,
come let down your guard
You're never a stranger,
just come as you are
Come be whole,
Come be loved
Come accepted,
Come now come
Prepared is the table,
we're ready to feast
The party is waiting,
there's more still to feed
The harvest is ready,
go fill every seat
Go live out the mission
as a kingdom of priests
Go live out the mission
as a kingdom of priests
Benediction
