Prelude The Head that was Once Crowned with Thorms Robert Hobby

*Call To Worship The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who seek God have never been forsaken! Sing the praises of the Lord, proclaim the name of Jesus. From generation to generation we hear your call. Aid us by the power of the Spirit to follow without fear!

*Hymn of Praise A Mighty Fortress is Our God UMH #110

*Passing of the Peace

Finance Moment Anne Lloyd Time of 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, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*Affirmation of Faith The Apostle’s Creed, UMH #881

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; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick 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.

*Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

Prayer For Illumination

Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and your Word proclaimed, we may heart with joy what you say to us today. Amen.
