Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 85:8-13
8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
9 Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12 The Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before him, and will make a path for his steps.
“Spring up O Well”
I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me;
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
Opens prison doors sets the captive free.
I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me.
Spring up, O well, within my soul;
Spring up, O well, and make me whole;
Spring up, O well, and give to me,
That life, abundantly.
“Glorious Freedom”
Hymn #505
Once I was bound
by sin’s galling fetters;
Chained like a slave, I struggled in vain.
But I received a glorious freedom
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.
Glorious freedom!
Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-
Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from all the carnal affections;
Freedom from envy, hatred, and strife;
Freedom from vain
and worldly ambitions;
Freedom from all that saddened my life!
Glorious freedom!
Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-
Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from pride and
all sinful follies;
Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger;
Glorious freedom, rapture untold!
Glorious freedom!
Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-
Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from fear
with all of its torments;
Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ,
my blessed Redeemer-
He who has rent my fetters in twain.
Glorious freedom!
Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-
Now and forever He shall be mine.
Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-14
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love.
5 He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight
9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
11 In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will,
12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory.
13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit;
14 this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of his glory.

Pastoral Prayer
Scripture: Mark 6:14-29
14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some were saying, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him."
15 But others said, "It is Elijah." And others said, "It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."
16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."
17 For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her.
18 For John had been telling Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19 And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,
20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him.
21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee.
22 When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it."
23 And he solemnly swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."
24 She went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the baptizer."
25 Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
26 The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27 Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John's head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother.
29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
“Blue Collar Praise”
We dream of you on city streets
Breathing again on our bones
We dream of you at kitchen sinksYour 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
