Prelude
Greeting & Announcements
Collect prayer from Feasting on the Word Worship Companion
Call to Worship (Rev. Dr. Derek C. Weber, Discipleship Ministries, 2021)
- God is a God who calls.
- We have gathered to worship and to hear that call.
- God is a God who equips.
- We are here to worship and to be shaped into the body of Christ.
- God is a God who sends.
- We are here to worship so that we can carry that spirit of worship out into the world where we live.
- God is a God who blesses.
- We are here to worship and to request a double share of that blessing. Let us worship God. Amen!
Opening Hymn #398: "Jesus Calls Us o'er the Tumult" Tune: Galilee; Words and music: Public domain
- Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea; day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me!"
- As of old the apostles heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for Jesus' sake.
- Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more!"
- In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these!"
- Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.

Children's Message
Sermon
Sermon Hymn #2171: "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace" by Sebastian Temple; Words and music: One License #A-727358
- Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring your love. Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord, And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
- Make me a channel of your peace. Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, only light, And where there's sadness, ever joy.
- Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love with all my soul.
- Make me a channel of your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, in giving of ourselves that we receive, and in dying that we're born to eternal life.
The Apostles' 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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Pastoral Prayer
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Offering
Doxology #2223, St. 4: by Peter Scholtes; Words and music: One License #A-727358
-
Words: All praise to the Father, from whom all things come. And all praise to Christ Jesus, God's only Son. And all praise to the Spirit, who makes us one. And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love. Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.
Closing Hymn #703, St. 1-3: "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot;" Tune: Swing Low; Words and music: Public Domain
-
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see, coming for to carry me home? A band of angels coming after me, coming for to carry me home. Refrain
-
If you get there before I do, coming for to carry me home; tell all my friends I'm coming too, coming for to carry me home. Refrain
-
I'm sometimes up, I'm sometimes down, coming for to carry me home; but still my soul feels heavenly bound, coming for to carry me home. Refrain
Benediction
