Prelude – “To God Be the Glory” Doane/Pethel – Melanie Manges, piano
Welcome to Worship – Len Wilson
Hymn of Praise – “To God Be the Glory” – Worship Team
(Verse 1) To God be the glory, great things he hath done;
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
And opened the lifegate that all may go in.
(Refrain) Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give him the glory, great things he hath done.
(Verse 3) Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
(Refrain) Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!

All: Christ goes before us.
One: In our doubts,
All: Christ remains with us.
One: In our fear,
All: Christ surrounds us.
One: In our hope,
All: Christ is within us.
One: In this time of worship
All: we strive to follow Jesus, who leads us into life.
Children’s Sermon – Rev. Lisa Williams Hood
Hymn of Devotion – “He Leadeth Me”
(Verse 1) He leadeth me, O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whate’er I do, where-e’er I be,
Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
(Refrain) He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful followers I would be,
For by his hand he leadeth me.
(Verse 2) Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whate’er my lot may be,
Since ‘tis my God who leadeth me.
(Refrain) He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful followers I would be,
For by his hand he leadeth me.

In my trials, Lord, walk with me;

When I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me;
When my head is bowed in sorrow,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
