But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 Order of Worship Season of Epiphany/Holy Communion PREPARATION Please silence your phone and other digital devices Prelude Personal Meditation and Prayer 1

2 PRAISE Call to Worship from Canticle of Christ s Obedience (UMH 167) [PLEASE STAND] Leader People Leader People Leader ALL Christ Jesus, 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, being born in our likeness. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen. Songs of Praise 1. It Is well With My Soul 2. It Is Well (Bethel) 3.
