Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 84:1-7
1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. (Selah)
5 Happy are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 As they go through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength; the God of gods will be seen in Zion.
“We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise”
Hymn #41
We bring the sacrifice of praise
into the house of the Lord;
We bring the sacrifice of praise
into the house of the Lord.
And we offer up to You
the sacrifices of thanksgiving;
And we offer up to You
the sacrifices of joy.
“I Exalt Thee”
Hymn #72
For Thou, O Lord,
art high above all the earth;
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
For Thou, O Lord,
art high above all the earth;
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
I exalt Thee! I exalt Thee!
I exalt Thee, O Lord!
I exalt Thee! I exalt Thee!
I exalt Thee, O Lord!
“I Sing the Mighty Power of God”
Hymn #74
1 I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how your wonders are displayed, where'er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky.
3 There's not a plant or flower below but makes Thy glories known; and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from Thy throne; while all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care, and everywhere that man can be, Thou, God, are present there.
Scripture: Joel 2:23-32
23 O children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he has given the early rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the later rain, as before.
24 The threshing floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent against you.
26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
27 You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
28 Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
29 Even on the male and female slaves, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
30 I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
32 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.
Offering

Pastoral Prayer-Joys & Concerns
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt:
10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, "God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.'
13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'
14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."

“Here I Am, Lord”
(Bertram Sluys. © 2011 Bertram Sluys
CHORUS: Here I am, Lord. I am listening. I will serve in word and deed.
Here I am, Lord. Send me out now. I will follow where You lead.
1. There’s a voice that’s calling from the fire, always burning, never still.
It is calling from the fire, calling me to do Your will.
CHORUS: Here I am, Lord. I am listening. I will serve in word and deed.
Here I am, Lord. Send me out now. I will follow where You lead.
2. There’s a whisper that surrounds me gently, quiet voice so small and still.
Whispered soft, surrounds me gently, calling me to do Your will.
CHORUS: Here I am, Lord. I am listening. I will serve in word and deed.
Here I am, Lord. Send me out now. I will follow where You lead.
3. There’s a voice that speaks through friends and family.
Scriptures’ words breathe through its trill.
Promptings from the Holy Spirit call me out to do Your will.
CHORUS: Here I am, Lord. I am listening. I will serve in word and deed.
Here I am, Lord. Send me out now. I will follow where You lead.
CHORUS: Here I am, Lord. I am listening. I will serve in word and deed.
Here I am, Lord. Send me out now. I will follow where You lead.
I will follow where You lead. I will follow where You lead.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:6-8. 16-18
6 As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
16 At my first defense no one came to my support, but all deserted me. May it not be counted against them!
17 But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.
18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
