Worship Psalm 98:1-9

Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham Bernie Porter, Elder

Leader: Sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him. The LORD has made His salvation known and revealed His righteousness to the nations. People: He has remembered His love and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Leader: Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, People: With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn-- shout for joy before the LORD, the King. Leader: Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; People: Let them sing before the LORD, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity. Invocation

†Opening Hymn #334 We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer, Creator

Church Life

Rev. Jeff Pearson (8:45) Rev. Stan Beard (11:00)

We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator, In grateful devotion our tribute we bring; We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee, We bless Thy holy Name, glad praises we sing. We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee; Through life’s storm and tempest our guide have Thou been; When perils overtake us, escape Thou will make us, And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win. With voices united our praises we offer, To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise. Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us, To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise. Pastoral Prayer & Lord’s Prayer

Rev. Jeff Pearson (8:45) Rev. Stan Beard (11:00)

“FINDING THE WAY”

†Closing Hymn #273

Jesus Paid It All

I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.” Refrain: Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. (Refrain) And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, I’ll lay my trophies down, All down at Jesus’ feet. (Refrain) †Benediction

Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham
