I will rejoice for he has made me glad
He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for he has made me glad
PASTORAL PRAYER:.....

CALL TO WORSHIP:

HYMN 1:.. "Savior, like a shepherd lead us" #387
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:....…..(In Unison)
Lord, have mercy on us. We talk about love, but our actions betray us. We talk about
love, but we neglect the poor. We talk about love, but we fail to love one another. Lord,
have mercy on us. Forgive us and abide in us by the power of Your Spirit so that our
lives may show our love for Jesus the Christ, in whose body we live and in whose name
we pray. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS:
We seek God’s grace with boldness because we trust in Jesus Christ, the One who
loves us and laid down his life for us. This is the good news of the gospel: in Jesus
Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
PASSING THE PEACE:
Leader: Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
People: And peace be with you also.
“I’VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER”…. #368
I've got PEACE like a river (3Xs) in my soul - repeat

I've got LOVE like an ocean(3Xs) in my soul - repeat

CLOSING HYMN:..."How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds" (Insert)
1. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2. It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
3. O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
4. How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
5. Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.
