Prelude – “As the Deer” – Melanie Manges, piano
Welcome to Worship – Gordon Coppoc
Hymn of Praise – “I Know My Redeemer Lives!” – Worship Team
(Verse 1) I know that my Redeemer lives!
What joy this blest assurance gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head!
(Verse 2) He lives triumphant from the grave;
He lives eternally to save;
He lives exalted, throned above;
He lives to rule his church in love.
(Verse 3) He lives to bless me with his love;
He lives to plead for me above;
He lives my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.
Call to Worship* (inspired by Psalm 139) – Gordon Coppoc
We gather together to worship
our loving, nurturing God,
who, like a mother,
knows us intimately,
loves us unconditionally,
teaches us the way we should go,
and comforts us in times of need.
Praise God,
the Source and Sustainer of life!
Children’s Sermon – Rev. Lisa Williams Hood
Hymn of Devotion – “As the Deer”
(Verse 1) As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you;
You alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship you.
(Refrain) You alone are my strength and shield;
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.
(Verse 2) I want you more than gold or silver, only you can satisfy;
You alone are the real joy-giver and the apple of my eye.
(Refrain) You alone are my strength and shield;
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.
(Verse 3) You’re my friend and you are my brother, even though you are a king;
I love you more than any other, so much more than anything!
(Refrain) You alone are my strength and shield;
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.

Hymn of Hope – “Amazing Grace”
(Verse 1) Amazing grace! how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.
(Verse 2) ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!
(Verse 5) When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.
Offering – Rev. Hood
Almighty God, giver of every good and perfect gift,
Teach us to give to you all that we have and all that we are,
That we might praise you not with our words only,
But with our whole lives. Amen.
