3 THE LORD GATHERS THE NATIONS We believe that the Triune God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit calls the world to worship Him. As a Christian community, we gather together on the first day of each week to worship Him as we are led by the Spirit. As we worship, we bring our praise and our concerns, our joys and our sorrows, our hopes and our troubles. Prelude (All music used by permission CCLI # ) *Please silence your electronic devices Announcements Reflection on Worship My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who walks beside; who floods my weaknesses with strength and causes fears to fly. Whose every promise is enough for every step I take; sustaining me with arms of love and crowning me with grace. - Keith Getty & Stuart Townend Special Music My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness Anna Bacheldor My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness (Thanksgiving Song) Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend Thankyou Music. My heart if filled with thankfulness to Him who bore my pain Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace and gave me life again Who crushed my curse of sinfulness and clothed me in His light And wrote His law of righteousness with pow r upon my heart My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who walks beside Who floods my weaknesses with strength and causes fears to fly Whose every promise is enough for every step I take Sustaining me with arms of love and crowning me with grace My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who reigns above Whose wisdom is my perfect peace, whose every thought is love For every day I have on earth is given by the King So I will give my life, my all, to love and follow Him 2

4 Call to Worship Psalm 67:1-4 Leader: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us. Response: That your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Leader: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Response: Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. We Gather Together Words and Music by Netherlands Folk Hymn/Song. Arr. by Jeff Lippencott Community Worship Music. We gather together to ask the Lord s blessing He chastens and hastens His will to make known The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing Sing praises to His name: He forgets not His own Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine So from the beginning the fight we were winning Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be Let Thy congregation escape tribulation Thy Name be ever praised!

5 Oh, Give Thanks Unto the Lord Author, Hezikiah Walker Oh, give thanks unto the Lord For He is good, He is good Oh, give thanks unto the Lord For He is good, He is good He is worthy, worthy He is good, He is good (2x) Come People of the Risen King Authors, Keith & Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend Come people of the Risen King; who delight to bring Him praise Come all and tune your hearts to sing; to the Morning Star of grace From the shifting shadows of the earth; we will lift our eyes to Him Where steady arms of mercy reach; to gather children in Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice! One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice! Come, those whose joy is morning sun And those weeping through the night Come, those who tell of battles won; and those struggling in the fight For His perfect love will never change; and His mercies never cease But follow us through all our days; with the certain hope of peace Chorus Come, young and old from every land; men and women of the faith Come, those with full or empty hands; find the riches of His grace Over all the world, His people sing; shore to shore we hear them call The Truth that cries through every age; Our God is all in all! Chorus Prayer for Children [Children ages 4-3 rd grade may leave for Children s Worship] 4

6 THE LORD REVEALS HIMSELF TO THE WORLD God calls the nations to follow him primarily through the reading and exposition of His inspired, infallible, and inerrant word as contained in the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Scriptures teach what man is to believe concerning God and what duty God requires of man. Sermon Guest Preacher, Rev. Jeremy R. Wood Ezekiel 47:1-12 Pew Bible p. 734 Large Print Pew Bible p. 922 Sermon Title: Water, Life and Sanctuary 5

7 To God Be the Glory Words: Fanny J. Crosby. Music: William H. Doane and Doug Holck 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 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 O perfect redemption; the purchase of blood To every believer; the promise of God The vilest offender who truly believes That moment from Jesus a pardon receives Chorus 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 Chorus 6

8 THE LORD FORGIVES OUR SINS We respond to God s revelation by acknowledging that we are not perfect. Therefore, we need the Savior, Jesus Christ. He invites us to bring Him all our faults and brokenness. Because of His gracious love, He forgives all our sins. Confession of Sin Isaiah 44:21-22 Leader: Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you; you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me. I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you. Unison [words adapted from Kevin Little]: Almighty God, in the midst of our thanksgiving, let us recall how we so often lose sight of the gifts of each day, and of their Giver. O God, we know that we forget about you, we forget to love you, we forget to help our neighbours, we forget to thank you. Forgive us. Grant us clear minds to know you, new hearts to love you, strong hands to serve you. Help us live this day, this week, and always, so that our whole life is a thanksgiving to you. Amen. [Silent Confession] Assurance of Pardon Isaiah 44:23 Leader: Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it; shout, O depths of the earth; break forth into singing, O mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! Unison: For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and will be glorified in Israel. 7

9 THE LORD PROVIDES OUR DAILY BREAD Worship includes returning to God and His work a portion of our material possessions as tithes and offerings. We ask Him to use the generosity of His people to continue and to advance the work of His church. Offertory Scripture Psalm 54:6 Leader: With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. Offertory Ministry Moment Betty Parmerter THE LORD CALLS US TO PRAY God calls us to pray. Through prayer we seek His good and perfect will. Our prayer time includes praying for our November Missionaries of the Month: Esaie & Natacha Etienne. Esaie and Natacha minister to Haiti in many ways including overseeing summer VBS and the Haiti Loveone Project School. They are also assisting with the construction of a building to be used as a seminary. Please pray for political stability in Haiti, for these many projects they are working on, and for the Etienne family. Prayer Scripture Psalm 107:8-9 Leader: Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. Elder Prayer Pastor Tom Luchenbill 8

10 In Christ Alone Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save Til on the cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then, bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory Sin s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His, and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ 9 No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the pow r of Christ in me From life s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No pow r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow r of Christ I ll stand

11 THE LORD COMMUNES WITH HIS PEOPLE The climax of our worship is sitting at the Table with the Lord. We come to the Table full of thankfulness and joy because of His grace. As the perfect Lamb of God, Jesus sacrifice reconciled us to the Father so that we are in a right relationship with him. Distribution of the Bread and Cup (Loaves of bread are made with Almond Milk) THE LORD SENDS US OUT INTO THE WORLD God does not save us simply from something. He saves us to something to be His messengers of redemption to a lost and fallen world. He sends us out redeemed, loved, and with a purpose. We are called to bear witness to what He is doing in our lives where we live, work, and play. Praise be to God! Benediction adapted from Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Unison Response: Christ has died! Christ has risen! Christ will come again!!! Choral Response Tri-fold Amen 10
