1 Presbyterian Church in America VETERANS DAY SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE NOVEMBER 9, 2014

2 SUNDAY ORDER OF WORSHIP Veterans Day Recognition Prelude Welcome Suzanne Roberson America, the Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea! O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine! O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea. Recognition of Our Veterans Call to Worship Jack Carmody There s Something About That Name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! There s just something about that name! Master, Savior, Jesus! Like the fragrance after the rain. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Let all heaven and earth proclaim: Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there s something about that name! Blessed Be Your Name Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful, Where Your streams of abundance flow, blessed be Your name. Blessed be Your name when I'm found in the desert place, Though I walk through the wilderness, blessed be Your name.

3 Chorus Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say, Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name. Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name! Blessed be Your name when the sun's shining down on me, When the world's all as it should be, blessed be Your name. Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, Though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name. Bridge You give and take away, You give and take away; My heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be Your name. Offering Prayer Roger Cogswell Offertory I Have Decided to Follow Jesus I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; No turning back, no turning back. The world behind me, the cross before me; The world behind me, the cross before me; The world behind me, the cross before me; No turning back, no turning back. Though none go with me, still I will follow, Though none go with me, still I will follow, Though none go with me, I still will follow, No turning back, no turning back. Doxology Old One Hundredth 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.

4 Confession of Sin and Assurance of Forgiveness Josh Vahle Pastoral Prayer Sermon: Prophetic Word Dan Ratchford Acts 21:1-14 Benediction Postlude It is Well When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Chorus It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for 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, O my soul! And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, 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. The flowers adorning the worship center today are given in tribute to our honorable veterans, and to the glory of God. MUSIC All Music is under Christian Copyright #

IMPORTANT CONGREGATIONAL MEETING SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7 An important Congregational Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, December 7, during the worship service to elect church officers. Please make plans to attend this important meeting. GROW Get Connected! At Chapin Pres, we encourage every person to share their life (1Thes 1:8) with other Christians in some form of Missional Gospel Community. We believe this is one of the primary places where God causes true Christian growth to happen. (See Acts 2:42-47 and Hebrews 10:24-25). We call these our GROW Groups: Men s and Women s Bible Studies, Groups for Seniors, Discipleship Groups, co-ed Small Groups, or one of our Sunday School Classes. Please or talk to one of our pastors for more information about getting connected in one of these GROW groups. Thanks!
