resPonsiVe call to worshiP Psalm 19:1-9 Stephen vincent, Elder
Leader: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
PeoPle: There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun
Leader: Which is like a bridegroom coming forth from His pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
PeoPle: The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
Leader: The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
PeoPle: The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous.

corPorate Prayer oF conFession Rev. Stan Beard Gracious God, we bow in Your presence confessing that we have sinned and asking for Your mercy. We have been selfish and unkind. We have sought our own way in our relationship with You and with those around us whom we profess to love. We have taken advantage of others, even those who love us, and our chief concern has been for ourselves. Forgive us, Lord, and help us to see that when love for You and for others abounds in life, one is truly blessed. Amen.

†oPening hyMn #377 Joyful, Joyul We Adore TheeJoyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee.Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother- all who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward in the triumph song of life.antheM Lay Down Your Troubles
Lay down your troubles and your heavy load. Get your feet a walkin down the heavenly road.
Burdens all lifted up into the air, Jesus is a waitin just to meet you there.
Lay down your heavy load, walk down that gospel road. Take your sin and sorrow to the mercy seat. Set your troubles down to lay at Jesus’ feet.
(Chorus) Lay down your troubles, lay down your burdens. Lay your troubles down.
Come, ye weary, who are laden down. Lay down your troubles, lay down your burdens.
Lay your troubles down. Trade them all to Jesus for a heavenly crown!
Lay down your troubles, child, and bow to pray. Let His tender mercy wash your sins away!
Come and walk with Jesus, you can show and sing! He will make you happy you’re a child of the King!
Lay down your heavy load, walk down that gospel road. Take your sin and sorrow to the mercy seat.
Set your troubles down to lay at Jesus’ feet. (Chorus)Lay down your troubles, lay down your burdens.
Set your troubles down to lay at Jesus’ feet. Lay them down
†closing hyMn #338 We Sing the Greatness of Our GodWe sing the greatness of our God That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad And built the lofty skies. We sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command, And all the stars obey.We sing the goodness of the Lord That filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word And then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed Where’er we turn our eyes:
In every season of the year, And through the changing skies.There’s not a plant or flower below But makes Thy glories known And clouds arise and tempests blow By order from Thy throne,
While all that borrows life from Thee Is ever in Thy care, And everywhere that man can be, Thou, God art present there.
