PRELUDE:  (Instrumental)

Klaus Mueller- Musical Director/Organist

Walter Williams - Drummer

.........“Battle Hymn of the Republic" (Insert)

[Refrain]

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword

His truth is marching on


Glory, Glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!


2. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps

His day is marching on.


Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His day is marching on!


3. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal"

Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel

Since God is marching on


Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Since God is marching on!


4. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on


Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Our God is marching on!


OPENING PRAYER:.....

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


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

Leader: O Lord, how manifold are your works! The earth is full of your creatures,


People: I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have breath.


Leader: May my mediation be pleasing to you, O God, for I rejoice in the Lord.


People: Bless the Lord, O my soul, Praise the Lord!


ALL: We here at UHPC have come to

worship God!


HYMN 1:."To God Be The Glory" #485


PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)

O God, like bones in the desert our faith is
dried up and lifeless. The winds of false
doctrine sear our spirit; the heat of conflict
saps our strength. We seek an oasis to escape your judgment; we wander aimlessly in search of direction. Have mercy upon us and fill us anew with your Spirit. Give us counsel and guidance and forgive us our waywardness.


ASSURANCE OF PARDON:..

Leader: The prophet Joel declares that in the last days God's Spirit will be poured out upon all flesh. "All it shall be that whoever calls on God Shall be saved," Know that as you call on God's name, Christ intercedes on your behalf to deliver you in his righteousness, blameless before God. Rest assured that God has forgiven us, in the name of Jesus, 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


LIFE OF THE CHURCH:.........Renea Bush

QUOTE:.................................Walter Williams


SONG OF ILLUMINATION:Open Our Eyes                                              #2086

Open our eyes, Lord,

we want to see Jesus,

to reach out and touch him,

and say that we love him.


Open our ears, Lord,

and help us to listen.

Open our eyes, Lord,

we want to see Jesus.


PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:(In Unison)

Prepare our hearts, o God, to accept your
word. Silence in us any other word, but your own, that, hearing, we may also obey your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

SCRIPTURE READING:..

Acts 11: 1-18.................Rebecca Nyamah

GOSPEL READING:..."Ruth 1:6-19"

SERMON TITLE:.   “NAOMI'S VISION

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


PROFESSION OF FAITH /APOSTLES CREED: 

.......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; He descended into hell; the third day, He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and is seated 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 Ghost; the Holy Catholic Church; the  communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting.    Amen.


TITHES & OFFERINGS:.

Please bring your tithes and offerings to the front. (Walk down the center aisle and return on the side aisles - PLEASE....Place Pledge Card in plate. 

...........“Halle, Halle, Hallelujah! ” #2026

   

OFFERTORY INVITATION:

Beloved in Christ, as we gather in worship today, let us take a moment to reflect on the abundant grace and blessings that God has bestowed upon us. We are reminded of the words in James 1:17, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
God has been generous to us, not only in material blessings but also in spiritual gifts, in opportunities for growth, and in the unfailing love that sustains us. As recipients of such generosity, we are called to respond with hearts full of gratitude and hands ready to give. In the spirit of thanksgiving and worship, let us present our offerings to the Lord. Amen.


DOXOLOGY - “Praise God From Whom

                         All Blessings Flow"

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

HYMN 1:."To God Be The Glory" #485

1. To God be the glory, great things He hath done!

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,

And opened the life gate that all may go in.


[Refrain]

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory: great things He hath done.


2. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.


[Refrain]

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory: great things He hath done.

HYMN 2:."Yes, God Is Real" #2147       

1: There are some things I may not know

There are some places
I can't go,

But I'm sure

Of this one thing, That God is real For I can feel God deep within


Yes, God is real
Real in my soul
Yes, God is real
For He has washed And made me whole God's love for me
Is like pure gold Yes, God is real
For I can feel
God in my soul.


2: Some folks may doubt Some folks may scorn All can desert
And leave me alone

But as for me

I'll take God's part
For God is real and I can feel God in my heart.


Yes, God is real
Real in my soul
Yes, God is real
For He has washed And made me whole God's love for me
Is like pure gold Yes, God is real
For I can feel
God in my soul.


3: I cannot tell
Just how you felt
When Jesus
Took all your sins away But since that day
Yes, since that hour God has been real
For I can feel
God's holy power.


Yes, God is real
Real in my soul
Yes, God is real
For He has washed And made me whole God's love for me
Is like pure gold Yes, God is real
For I can feel
God in my soul.
