Call to Worship – (inspired by Psalm 105, written by Thom Shuman) – Charles Gullion
Here, in this place,
God welcomes all the dreamers, as well as the doubters:
here, the worriers and wanderers can call on God by name.
Here, in this time, we can remember all the ways God has graced us:
here, in these moments, we are reminded that God is with us, always!
Here are gathered those daring enough to step out of comfort into the unknown:
here, in this faith space, we will find the courage to cry out, ‘God, save us!’
in every situation.
Hymn of Praise – āJesus, What a Friend for Sinners!ā
(Verse 1) Jesus! What a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul:
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He. My savior, makes me whole.
(Refrain) Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
(Verse 3) Jesus! What a Help in sorrow!
While the billows oāer me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul.
(Refrain) Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
Ā as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.Ā

Hymn of Commitment – āJust a Closer Walk With Theeā
(Verse 1) I am weak, but thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
Iāll be satisfied as long as I walk, let me walk close to thee.
(Refrain) Just a closer walk with thee,
grant it Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to thee:
let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
(Verse 2) Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but thee, dear Lord, none but thee.
(Refrain) Just a closer walk with thee,
grant it Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to thee:
let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
(Verse 3) When my feeble life is oāer,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely oāer
To thy kingdom shore, to thy shore.
(Refrain) Just a closer walk with thee,
grant it Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to thee:
let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
