During the singing of the hymn, you are invited to come and kneel at the Communion rail, using this opportunity to respond to Christ s invitation. You may come to commit or recommit your life to Christ, to pray about some situation in your life such as a major decision or family concern, or to pray in intercession for another. Our pastor is available to pray with you as you kneel. Just let him know as you come, otherwise he will respect your private time with God in prayer. *Benediction *Carrying the Light into the World Hayden and Nolan Lichty *Choral Response The Strife Is O er (306) *Chimes of the Trinity *Postlude Mrs. Trivett (* Please stand, as you are able.)
