CURRENT SERMON SERIES God Calls Us Into Presence and Receives Our Praises WCALL TO WORSHIP...Michael Davis Assistant Pastor, Young Adults W Bless the Lord.......................................................... Matt Redman : Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul. Worship holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul. I ll worship Your holy name. The sun comes up, it s a new day dawning. It s time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes. You re rich in love and You re slow to anger, Your name is great and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing, Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. And on that day when my strength is failing, The end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing Your praise unending, Ten thousand years and then forevermore. WPRAYER OF ADORATION GIVING OF TITHES AND OFFERINGS God Calls Us to Offer Ourselves to Him Worshipers at the end of a row should pass the collection bag to those in the row behind them.

David Bowen Assistant Pastor, Middle Adults INVITATION TO THE TABLE God Invites Us to Table All those who have publicly professed their faith and joined a Christian church as a communing member are warmly welcomed to receive communion tonight. Noncommuning worshipers are encouraged to contemplate the love of Jesus Christ during this time. We encourage children not to take communion until they have joined the church as communicant members. We do, however, encourage noncommuning children to come forward with their parents to receive a blessing. Those wishing to be served communion together as a group or family, please stand together in front of the two serving elders before taking the elements. Gluten free bread is offered in the center aisle. PRAYERS OF CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF DIVINE PARDON WORDS OF INSTITUTION PRAYER OF CONSECRATION SONGS FOR THE TABLE Behold the Lamb........................................... Keith Getty, Stuart Townend Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us and we remember The promise made that all who come in faith find forgiveness at the cross. So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of peace Around the table of the King. The body of our Savior, Jesus Christ, torn for you eat and remember The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life paid the price to make us one. So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of love Around the table of the King.
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin, shed for you drink and remember He drained death s cup that all may enter in to receive the life of God. So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of grace Around the table of the King. And so with thankfulness and faith we rise to respond and to remember Our call to follow in the steps of Christ as body here on earth. As we share in suffering, We proclaim Christ will come again! And we ll join in the feast of heaven Around the table of the King. Lord, I Need You..........................................................

Take My Life and Let It Be.................................................. Chris Tomlin Take my life and let it be, consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. : Here am I all of me; Take my life, it s all for Thee. Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King. Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee. Take my silver and my gold not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use ev ry pow r as Thou shalt choose. Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne. Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Your feet its treasure store. Take my self, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee. Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
