Order of Worship July 8, 2018 Welcome & Announcements This is the time to hear about the upcoming events in the life of the church family and to fill out the registration pads being handed out. Please feel free to write in the margins if you would like to communicate anything the pastor, elders, deacons or church secretary. Opening Prayer & Call to Worship As we gather together we remind ourselves of why we are here and we focus our complete attention on the Lord with the intention that He alone is the center of all that is said and done until the benediction. 1 Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who stand by night in the house of the Lord! 2 Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord! 3 May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth! (Psalm 134) 3
Approaching God in Praise We desire to praise and worship God for Who He is, as our redeemer and sustainer. (Please Stand) Just a Closer Walk with Thee CCLI #3160248 Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. I am weak, but Thou art strong, Jesus, keep me from all wrong, I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more, Guide me gently, safely o'er To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore. Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 4
