Prelude: Jenny Schaff
Words of Welcome and *Call to Worship from
Psalm 30: Worship Leader
One: Sing praises to God, all you faithful ones
All: God hears us in our fear and our sorrow
One: Where there was no way
All: God leads us in a new way
One: Where there was no mercy
All: God surprises us with fresh mercy
One: Where there was weeping
All: God invites us to step into a new dance.
*Opening Song: 113 “Jesus Loves Me”
1. Jesus loves me! This I know for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but He is strong.
Chorus- Yes Jesus loves me! Yes Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
2. Jesus loves me! This I know as He loved so long ago.
Taking children on his knee saying, “Let them come to me.” Chorus
3. Jesus loves me still today, walking with me on my way.
Wanting as a friend to give light and love to all who live. Chorus
*Unison Prayer:
Holy God, Creator of Life,
you call us out of our dark places,
offering us the grace of new life.
When we see nothing but hopelessness,
you surprise us with the breath of your spirit.
Call us out of our complacency and routines,
set us free from our self-imposed bonds,
and fill us with your spirit of life, compassion, and peace,
In the name of Jesus, your anointed one, we pray. Amen.
*Passing of the Peace: Jazz Hands!

Prayers of the People: Pastor Marti
Special Music: “You Raise Me Up” Katie Routh
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
Chorus: You raise me up so I can stand on mountain
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
There is no life – no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity
Scripture Reading: Mark 5:21-43
21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered round him; and
he was by the lake.22
Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw
him, fell at his feet23
and begged him repeatedly, ‘My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and
lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.’24
So he went with him.
And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him.25
Now there was a woman who had been
suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years.26
She had endured much under many physicians, and
had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse.27
She had heard about
Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,28
for she said, ‘If I but touch his
clothes, I will be made well.’29
Immediately her haemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she
was healed of her disease.30
Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned
about in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’31
And his disciples said to him, ‘You see the
crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, “Who touched me?” ’32
He looked all round to see who had
done it.33
But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down
before him, and told him the whole truth.34
He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well;
go in peace, and be healed of your disease.’
35While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, ‘Your daughter is dead.
Why trouble the teacher any further?’36
But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the
synagogue, ‘Do not fear, only believe.’37
He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and
John, the brother of James.38
When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a
3
commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.39
When he had entered, he said to them, ‘Why do you
make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.’40
And they laughed at him. Then he
put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in
where the child was.41
He took her by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha cum’, which means, ‘Little girl,
get up!’42
And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At
this they were overcome with amazement.43
He strictly ordered them that no one should know this,
and told them to give her something to eat.
Sermon: “Transformers” - Courtney Dufford
Song of Response: 115 ”There’s Something About That Name” (repeat once)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! There’s just something about that name!
Master, Savior, Jesus! Like the fragrance after the rain.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Let all heaven and earth proclaim:
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there’s something about that name!
Invitation to Communion and Words of Institution: Pastors Marti and Travis
Prayer of Thanksgiving: Worship Leader
Communion Music: Jenny Schaff
Benediction: Pastors Marti and Travis
*Parting Song: 117 “He is Lord” (repeat once)
He is Lord, He is Lord! He is risen from the dead and he is Lord!
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Postlude: Jenny Schaff
