Presbyterian Church in America MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE MAY 25, 2014
8:15 AM Memorial Day Observance Sunday Order of Worship Prelude Welcome God of Our Fathers God of our fathers, whose almighty hand. Leads forth in beauty all the starry band; Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, our grateful songs before Thy throne arise. Thy love divine hath led us in the past. In this free land by Thee our lot is cast; Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay, Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way. Refresh Thy people on their toil-some way. Lead us from night to never-ending day; fill all our lives with love and grace divine; and glory, laud and praise be ever Thine! Call to Worship Memorial Day Remembrance It Is Well with My Soul 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. Offering Prayer Offertory Garnette Bouknight
Doxology The Gloria Patri Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen! The Apostle s Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. Confession of Sin and Assurance of Forgiveness Pastoral Prayer Josh Vahle Sermon: The Grace of God Acts 13:13-43 Dan Ratchford Jesus, I Come Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, Jesus I come; Jesus, I come. Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of my sickness into Thy health, out of my wanting and into Thy wealth, out of my sin and into Thyself, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of my shameful failure and loss, Jesus I come; Jesus, I come. Into the glorious gain of Thy cross, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of earth s sorrows into Thy balm, out of life s storms and into Thy calm, out of distress into jubilant psalm, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of unrest and arrogant pride, Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come. Into Thy blessed will to abide, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of myself to dwell in Thy love, out of despair into raptures above, upward for aye on wings like a dove, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of the fear and dread of the tomb, Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come. Into the joy and light of Thy home, Jesus, I come to Thee. Out of the depths of ruin untold, into the peace of Thy sheltering fold, ever Thy glorious face to behold, Jesus, I come to Thee. Benediction Postlude Josh Vahle
