3 Order of Worship July 8, 2018 Welcome & Announcements This is the time to hear about the upcoming events in the life of the church family and to fill out the registration pads being handed out. Please feel free to write in the margins if you would like to communicate anything the pastor, elders, deacons or church secretary. Opening Prayer & Call to Worship As we gather together we remind ourselves of why we are here and we focus our complete attention on the Lord with the intention that He alone is the center of all that is said and done until the benediction. 1 Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who stand by night in the house of the Lord! 2 Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord! 3 May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth! (Psalm 134) 3

4 Approaching God in Praise We desire to praise and worship God for Who He is, as our redeemer and sustainer. (Please Stand) Just a Closer Walk with Thee CCLI # Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. I am weak, but Thou art strong, Jesus, keep me from all wrong, I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more, Guide me gently, safely o'er To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore. Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 4

5 Salvation s Song 2007 Thankyou Music, Andrew Small & Stuart Townend, CCLI # Loved before the dawn of time, chosen by my maker, hidden in my Savior I am His and He is mine, cherished for eternity When I m stained with guilt and sin, He is there to lift me, heal me and forgive me He gives me strength to stand again, stronger than I was before. So with ev-ery breath that I am given I will sing salvation s song And I ll join the chorus of creation giving praise to Christ alone All the things of Satan s curse lifted through His offering, satisfied through suffering All the blessings He deserves, poured on my unworthy soul Chorus Singing Glory, Honor, Wisdom, Power, to the Lamb upon the throne Hallelujah, I will lift Him high, Singing Glory, Honor, Wisdom, Power to the Lamb upon the throne Hallelujah, I will sing with Ev-ery breath that I am given I will sing salvation s song And I ll join the chorus of creation giving praise to Christ alone Stars will fade and mountains fall, Christ will shine forever, Love s unfading splendor Earth and heaven will bow in awe, joining in salvations song 5
