Prelude – All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name – Carol Hockstra, organ
Welcome to Worship – Shawn Huddy
Hymn of Praise – Because He Lives
(Verse 1) God sent his Son, they called him Jesus;
He came to love, heal, and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
an empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
(Refrain) Because he lives I can face tomorrow;
Because he lives all fear is gone;
Because I know he holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because he lives.
(Verse 2) How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance;
This child can face uncertain days because he lives.
(Refrain) Because he lives I can face tomorrow;
Because he lives all fear is gone;
Because I know he holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because he lives.
Call to Worship* (inspired by Psalm 89) – Shawn Huddy
I will sing about the wonders of your love forever, O God!
I will tell everyone I meet about your faithfulness to all generations!
I will declare that your love stands firm,
that your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens above!
Blessed are those who know you as their God,
for they walk in the light of your presence!
Let us worship our faithful God!
Children’s Sermon – Rev. Lisa Williams Hood
Hymn of Reflection – I Need Thee Every Hour
(Verse 1) I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like thine can peace afford.
(Refrain) I need thee, O I need thee; every hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.
(Verse 2) I need thee every hour, stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their power when thou art nigh.
(Refrain) I need thee, O I need thee; every hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.
(Verse 3) I need thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly, and abide, or life is vain.
(Refrain) I need thee, O I need thee; every hour I need thee!
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.

Hymn of Faith – Just a Closer Walk with Thee
(Verse 1) I am weak, but thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll 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 o’er, time for me will be no more,
Guide me gently, safely o’er 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.
