Daily Bible Reading Plan

On June 1 we began a churchwide Daily Bible Reading Plan. For the next three months, we will be reading through all the gospels. There is a reading for each day except Sunday. If you start late or fall behind, don't worry, keep on reading, and you can catch up at your own pace.

If you attend worship service in person, you should have gotten a copy of the plan in the bulletin, or they are available in the foyer. The plan is also available on the church calendar on the website and was in the newsletter. Each Sunday, the readings for that coming week will be posted here in this electronic bulletin.

Call to Worship
- Philippians 2:5-11

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

With this heart open wide
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice
With these hands lifted high
Hear my song, hear my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down
Whoa, oh, oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down

Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine, shine, shine
Take this life and let it shine

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down
Whoa, oh, oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down
Whoa, oh, oh
Lay me down, lay me down

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way
Always

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way

It will be my joy to say
Your will
Your way
Always

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down
Whoa, oh, oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down

I lay me down I'm not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down, lay me down
Whoa, oh, oh, hand on my heart this much is true
There's no life apart from You
Lay me down, lay me down
Whoa, oh, oh
Lay me down, lay me down

Come all you weary
Come all you thirsty
Come to the well that never runs dry
Drink of the water
Come and thirst no more

Come all you sinners
Come find His mercy
Come to the table, He will satisfy
Taste of His goodness
Find what you're looking for

For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save us
Whoever believes in Him will live forever

Bring all your failures
Bring your addictions
Come lay them down at the foot of the cross
Jesus is waiting there
With open arms

For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save us
Whoever believes in Him will live forever
The power of hell forever defeated
Now it is well, I'm walking in freedom
For God so loved, God so loved the world

Praise God, praise God
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, praise Him
For the wonders of His love

Praise God, praise God
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, praise Him
For the wonders of His love

For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save

For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save us
Whoever believes in Him will live forever
The power of hell forever defeated
Now it is well, I'm walking in freedom
For God so loved, God so loved the world

Bring all your failures
Bring your addictions
Come lay them down at the foot of the cross
Jesus is waiting
God so loved the world

Praises and Prayer Requests

Pastoral Prayer

The 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,
the power and the glory, forever.
Amen.
