We Confess Our Sins - from Psalm 51 All: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Cleanse me, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. God Declares Our Forgiveness Hebrews 9:24-28 Leader: But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. *We Rejoice in God s Forgiveness 2

3 O Love that Will Not Let Me Go Matheson/Miner 1997 Christopher Miner Music. O Love that will not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, that in thy sunshine s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be. It is Well With My Soul Spafford/Bliss, Public Domain When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot You have taught me to say It is well it is well with my soul Though Satan will ruin though trials may come Let this blessed assurance control That Christ has regarded my helpless estate And has shed His own blood for my soul Chorus: It is well with my soul It is well it is well with my soul My sin oh the bliss of this glorious thought My sin not in part but the whole Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more Praise the Lord praise the Lord oh my soul (Chorus) And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight And the clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend Even so it is well with my soul (Chorus 2x) Membership of Kaylin LaFountain Congregational Prayers of Thanksgiving *Reconciled to God, We Share the Peace of Christ with One Another Leader: The peace of Christ be with you!

6 W O R S H I P N O T E S Welcome! We are glad that you have joined us this morning. We hope you find our service to be both friendly and reverent. Most of all, we hope you experience Christ this morning. If you have questions, need the help of a pastor, or are interested in church membership, please contact our pastor, B.J. Milgate, either by (bj@upc-lakenona.com) or phone ( ). The Lord s Supper At UPC Lake Nona, we offer communion every week. We believe that it adds a tremendous sensory experience to worship and provides a deep encounter with Christ. Jesus Christ himself invites all true believers to his table. If you are a baptized Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, and a faithful member or adherent of this or some other congregation, recognized as belonging to the fellowship of Christian believers, please know how welcome you are to eat this gracious meal with us. By taking the bread and the wine, you are acknowledging that you are a sinner, without hope except in God s sovereign mercy, and that you are trusting in Christ alone for your salvation. If you have any questions about your participation in the Lord s Supper please speak to our pastor. Ushers will pass the elements through the rows. Please hold onto each element until all have been served. As you pass the bread to the next person, you may say, The body of Christ, broken for you. Gluten-free bread is available. Simply raise your hand, and the pastor will serve you. As you pass the wine, you may say, The blood of Christ, poured out for you. The red cups are wine; the white cups are grape juice. Children and Youth As you look around, you'll notice lots of kids. We welcome children of all ages in our worship service, believing that they are part of God's family and are blessed to participate in corporate worship. We appreciate your understanding of the occasional disruption. A nursery with a nap room is provided throughout the entire service every Sunday for infants and toddlers through age 3. A cry room is also available. Sunday School is offered for children ages 4 years to 5th grade. Children who wish to attend will be dismissed prior to the Scripture reading and will return after the Sermon. The fourth Sunday of the month, instead of Sunday School, children remain in the service. Youth group for middle and high schoolers is offered on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at Caleb and Emily Burnison s home, Moss Park Ridge Drive, Orlando Contact upclnfamilies@gmail.com for more information.
