WE RESPOND TO GOD’S WORD

ANTHEM The Lord’s My Shepherd - Howard Goodall

PASTORAL AND THE LORD’S PRAYER Jennifer Hansen 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 and ever. Amen.

OFFERING OURSELVES TO GOD

The Invitation Jennifer Hansen

Offertory The Road Home – Stephen Paulus

Tell me where is the road I can call my own,

that I left, that I lost, so long ago?

All these years I have wandered, oh when will I know there’s a way,

there’s a road that will lead me home?

After wind, after rain, when the dark is done,

as I wake from a dream in the gold of day,

Through the air there’s a calling from far away,

there’s a voice I can hear that will lead me home.

Rise up, follow me, come away is the call,

with love in your heart as the only song;

There is no such beauty as where you belong,

rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.

*The Doxology When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

UMH No. 298, 4th stanza HAMBURG Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

gather us in all peoples together, fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

Many: They will never be shaken; they will be kept in everlasting

remembrance.

One: Their heart is right; they put their trust in the Lord.

Many: They give freely to the poor, they will hold up their heads with honor.

One: Happy are they who revere the Lord!
