CALL TO WORSHIP

​

Great Is Thy Faithfulness 

 

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father

There is no shadow of turning with Thee

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

 

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

 

Summer and winter and Springtime and harvest.

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above.

Join with all nature in manifold witness.

To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

​

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

​

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

LEADER

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

WE ARE BROKEN

 

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus​

 

Come, thou long expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.

Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.

​

Born thy people to deliver,
born a child and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.

​

Come thou long expected Jesus,
come thou long expected Lord,
come your kingdom to deliver,
every longing restless heart.

COMMUNION

​

How Deep The Father's Love For Us

 

How deep the Father's love for us?

How vast beyond all measure?
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

​

How great the pain of searing loss?
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

​

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

​

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

​

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

​

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

​

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Jesus sends us

CLOSING ADMONITIONS

​

This Is My Father's World

 

This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father's world.
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father's world:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav'n be one.

This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad! 

This is my Father’s world,

Closer to heaven bound,

For dear to God is the earth Christ trod,

No place but is holy ground.
