May God be gracious to us and bless us and make
His face to shine upon us,
That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the
peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the
peoples praise You.
The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, has blessed us. May God continue to bless us; let all the ends of the earth revere the Lord. Amen. ~Psalm 67
Invocation and Lord’s Prayer:
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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Choral Anthem
“The Majesty and Glory of Your Name”
(T. Fettke, L.L. Johnson)
When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of your fingers; the moon and stars suspended in space. Oh, what is man, that you are mindful of him? You have given Mann a crown of glory and honor, and have made him a little lower than the angels. You have put him in charge of all creation: the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea. But what is man, oh, what is man that you are mindful of him?
O Lord, our God, the majesty and glory of Your name, transcends the earth and fills the heavens. O Lord, our God, little children praise You perfectly, and so would we, and so would we.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The majesty and glory of Your name.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The majesty and glory of Your name.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Acts 16:9-15 NIV
Song: "Children of God"
Luke Porterfield
Praise to the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Our God and Our King, to Him we will sing,
In His great mercy He has given us life,
Now we can be called the children of God.
Great is the love that the Father has given us
He has delivered us, well, He has delivered us.
Children of God, sing your song and rejoice,
For the love that He has given us all,
Children of God, by the blood of His Son,
We have been redeemed and we can be called,
Children of God, children of God.
Your mystery is revealed to the universe,
The Father above has proven His love,
Now we are free from the judgment that we deserve, so we are called the children of God. refrain
We are the saints, we are the children, we've been redeemed, we've been forgiven,
We are the sons and daughters of our God. (repeat)
