Prelude

Call to Worship

Congregational Hymn

“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” #356

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of God’s unchanging love!
 
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
 
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

“Build My Life”

Verse 1
Worthy of ev’ry song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of ev’ry breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
 
Verse 2
Jesus the name above ev’ry other name
Jesus the only one who could ever save
Worthy of ev’ry breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
We live for You
 
Chorus
Holy there is no one like You
There is none besides You
Open up my eyes in wonder and show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
 
Verse 1
 
Verse 2
 
Chorus 2X
Bridge
I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken 2X

Prayer of Confession

Pastor Brandi Drake

Gracious Lord, we acknowledge and confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength;
we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves. In your mercy, forgive all our sins, heal us, make us whole,
and restore unto us the joy of your salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord (time of silent confession).

Prayer Focus: Bill and Addie Likesn, Cabwaylingo Appalachin Mission, West Virgina

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

*Congregational Song

“Abide”

For my waking breath for my daily bread, 
I depend on You, I depend on You. 
For the sun to rise for my sleep at night, 
I depend on You, yes, I depend on You. 
:
You’re the way, the truth, and the life. 
You’re the well that never runs dry. 
I’m the branch and You are the vine, 
draw me close and teach me to abide. 
 
Where the Spirit leads as I’m following, 
I depend on You, I depend on You. 
For the victories still in front of me, 
I depend on You, yes, I depend on You. 
 
Chorus
You’re the way, the truth, and the life. 
You’re the well that never runs dry. 
I’m the branch and You are the vine, 
draw me close and teach me to abide. 
Be my strength, my song in the night. 
Be my all, my treasure my prize. 
I am Yours, forever You’re mine. 
Draw me close and teach me to abide. 
 
When I pass through death as I enter rest, 
I depend on You. I depend on You. 
For eternal life to be raised with Christ, 
I depend on You, I depend on You. 
 
Chorus
 
Draw me close and teach me to abide.

Postlude

 

The Apostle’s Creed 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
