Come let us worship the Lord
Let's give Him the praise!

Give our God the glory,
Give our God the praise.
Worship Him!
Worship Him!


Come let us worship the Lord
Let's give Him the praise!


OPENING PRAYER:.....

.......................Rev. George Abosi


CALL TO WORSHIP:..........

Leader: Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.


People: We will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and the wonders that God has done.


Leader: How in the daytime the Lord led them
with a cloud, and all night long with a fiery light.


People: He splits rocks open in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.


Leader: Let us drink deeply of the Lord’s
goodness as we come into God’s courts with
praise!


ALL: We here at UHPC have come to

worship God!


HYMN 1:."Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise" #263


PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)

God of love, kindness, and compassion, we return to You seeking pardon and forgiveness for our sins and misdeeds. Where at times we have disrespected or
dishonored the women of mothers in our lives, where we have taken them for granted, or abused them in any way, we repent. Whereas women we have demeaned or abused ourselves, we repent. Restore us to a place of dignity worthy of respect. Restore us to a
place of dignity worthy of respect. Help all women to recognize that they too are daughters of Abraham. As redeemed people, they are daughters of the King of
kings. Have mercy upon all present here for all have fallen short of Your glory. Therefore, we all need Your mercy. Grant us peace and love in our hearts we pray
and help us to forgive others who have sinned against us. By faith and with thanksgiving we offer our prayers in the name of Christ Jesus. Amen!


ASSURANCE OF PARDON:..

Leader: Remember Jesus Christ, “who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant.” He bore our sins on a cross that we might die to sin and rise to life anew. In Christ we boast of the good news of God’s love. Praise God we are forgiven. Amen.


GLORIA PATRI: ..........................(Unison)

Glory be to 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.


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 RIVER”    #368

I've got PEACE like a river (3Xs) in my soul - repeat

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

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:(In Unison)

CLOSING HYMN:"Stand Up for Jesus"              (Insert)

1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus

ye soldiers of the cross;

lift high his royal banner,

it must not suffer loss.

From vict'ry unto vict'ry

his army he shall lead

till ev'ry foe is vanquished

and Christ is Lord indeed.


2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the trumpet call obey;

forth to the mighty conflict

in this his glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve him

against unnumbered foes;

let courage rise with danger

and strength to strength oppose.


3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

stand in his strength alone;

the arm of flesh will fail you,

ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armor,

each piece put on with prayer;

where duty calls or danger,

be never wanting there.


4. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the strife will not be long;

this day the noise of battle,

the next, the victor's song.

To him that overcometh

a crown of life shall be;

he with the King of glory

shall reign eternally.

HYMN 1:."Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise" #263

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.


2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;

Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above

Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.


3. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;

In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;

We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,

And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.


4. Thou reignest in glory, Thou rulest in light,

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;

All praise we would render; O help us to see

'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!













---------------------------------------------

HYMN 2:." A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" #260                                     

1. A mighty fortress is our God,

a bulwark never failing;

our helper he, amid the flood

of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe

does seek to work us woe;

his craft and power are great,

and armed with cruel hate,

on earth is not his equal.


2. Did we in our own strength confide,

our striving would be losing,

were not the right Man on our side,

the Man of God's own choosing.

You ask who that may be?

Christ Jesus, it is he;

Lord Sabaoth his name,

from age to age the same;

and he must win the battle.


3. And though this world, with devils filled,

should threaten to undo us,

we will not fear, for God has willed

his truth to triumph through us.

The prince of darkness grim,

we tremble not for him;

his rage we can endure,

for lo! his doom is sure;

one little word shall fell him.


4. That Word above all earthly powers

no thanks to them abideth;

the Spirit and the gifts are ours

through him who with us sideth.

Let goods and kindred go,

this mortal life also;

the body they may kill:

God's truth abideth still;

his kingdom is forever!
