Welcome
We begin our prayers with praise because Jesus instructed that prayer begins with who God is, where He is, and with an active longing that our kingdoms become more like His.

God Summons Us

Call to Worship

Leader: In you, O Lord, we take refuge; let us never be put to shame;

All : in your righteousness deliver us!

Leader: Incline your ear to us; rescue us speedily!

All: Be a rock of refuge for us, a strong fortress to save us!

Leader: For you are our rock and fortress;

All: and for your name's sake you lead us and guide us;

Leader: We will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,

All: We trust in you, O Lord; and we say "You are our God."

Leader: Love the Lord, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

All: Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD.

Adapted from Psalm 31

Song of Praise

Holy Is The Lord

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great how awesome is He

And together we sing
Ev'ryone sing

Chorus
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

It is rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown
It's rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown

Your Glory
by Leslie Jordan

My life is Yours
And my hope is in You only
And my heart You hold
'Cause You made this sinner holy
And holy holy

I fall onto my knees in awe
And the heartbeat of my life
Is to worship in Your light
'Cause Your glory is so beautiful
'Cause Your glory is so beautiful (oh)

Liturgy

Silent Personal Confession
The Psalmist models a transparent faith with these words,
"23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!”
One way we express our longing for God’s leading is through our own transparent confession.

Unison Confession
God of everlasting love,
we confess that we have been unfaithful
to our covenant with you and with one another.
We have worshiped other gods: money, power, greed, and convenience.
We have served our own self-interest
instead of serving only you.
We have not loved our neighbor as you have commanded.
Forgive us, gracious God,
and bring us back into the fullness
of our covenant with you and one another.
Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Declaration of Forgiveness
The grace, mercy, forgiveness and peace of Christ, through the Holy Spirit, has preceded us in this moment. We are a forgiven and strengthened people because of the Father Heart of God, the work of Jesus Christ, and the indwelling, unfailing love of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above you heav'nly host
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Chorus
Amen Amen Amen
God we praise You
God we praise You

Praise God for all that He has done
Praise Him for He has overcome
The grave is beaten love has won
Praise God our Savior Christ the Son

Passing the Peace

Prayer and Dismissal of Children to Children’s Worship

This I Believe
by Ben Fielding and Matt Crocker

Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God Almighty
Through Your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our Saviour

Chorus
I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in One
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the Name of Jesus

Our judge and our defender
Suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in You
Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high

I believe in You
I believe You rose again
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord

Chorus
I believe in life eternal
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the saints' communion
And in Your holy Church
I believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For I believe in the Name of Jesus

Lord’s Supper

Children: Why do we give thanks and praise before this table?

All: We give thanks for God’s work of creation, liberation, and salvation.

Elder: It is indeed right, our duty and delight, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to you, O holy Lord, eternal God.

You created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them; you made us in your own image; and in countless ways you show us your mercy. Therefore, with choirs of angels and the whole company of heaven, we worship and adore your glorious name, joining our voices in their unending praise:

All: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Elder: All glory and blessing are yours, O holy God, for in your mercy you gave your only Son, Jesus Christ. He took our human nature and suffered death on the cross for our redemption. There he made a perfect sacrifice for the sins for the whole world. We praise you that before he suffered and
died, our Savior gave us this holy sacrament and commanded us to continue it until he comes again.

Children: Why do we eat bread at this table?

Elder: On the night before he died, Jesus took bread. After giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat. This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Children: Why do we drink from the cup at this table?

Elder: The same night Jesus took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant sealed in my blood, shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.”

Children: What do we remember at this table?

Elder: We remember God’s gracious love for us, Christ’s death and resurrection for us, and the Spirit’s tender care for us. Let us proclaim the mystery of faith:

All: Dying, you destroyed our death; rising, you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory.

Elder: Merciful God, pour out your Holy Spirit on these gifts of bread and wine, that in eating and drinking we may be made one with Christ and one another.

All: Amen.

Elder: Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, now and forever.

All: Amen.
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, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
—based on 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Communion

Lord I Need You
by Daniel Carson, Matt Maher, Christy Nockels, and Jesse Reeves

Lord I come I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Chorus
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay

Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)
by Edwin Othello Excell, Joel Houston, John Newton, John P. Rees

All these pieces
Broken and scattered
In mercy gathered
Mended and whole
Empty handed
But not forsaken
I've been set free
I've been set free

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Oh I once was lost
But now I am found
Was blind but now I see

Chorus
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life
You take our failure
You take our weakness
You set Your treasure
In jars of clay
So take this heart Lord
I'll be Your vessel
The world to see Your life in me

© 2014 CCLI Song # 7019974 -- CCLI License # 162332

Let us pray:
Gracious God, you have made us one with all your people in heaven and on earth. You have fed us with the bread of life, and renewed us for your service. Help us who have shared Christ’s body and received his cup, to be his faithful disciples, so that our daily living may be part of the life of your kingdom, and our love be your love, reaching out into the life of the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Closing Song

Oh Praise Him
by John Marc Kohl, Justin Tweito, and Kristian Stanfill

There’s no one like Him
Who’d step down from heaven’s throne
The God of creation
Humbled to flesh and bone
What kind of King would give everything
To rescue the ones He loves
He has looked down with his favor
There’s no one like Him
There’s no one like Him

CHORUS
Sing of His endless love and His precious blood
Poured out for us upon the cross Oh praise Him
Sing of His faithfulness even unto death
The Son of man He lives again Oh praise Him

There’s no one like Him
The mercy of God displayed
The hope of salvation
Flowing within His veins
He is the life He is the truth
He is the only way

No one could do what He has done
Hell and the grave are overcome
The stone is rolled the victory's won Oh praise Him

No one like Him in history
He conquered death He holds the keys
Our Savior Jesus Christ the King Oh praise Him
