Order of Worship
Prelude
Come Thou Font of Every Blessing
Rev. Dr. Kate Kallis, piano
Arr. Phillip Keveren
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
 
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
*Hymn
On a Hill Far Away 
NCH #195
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the
emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the
dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, till my
trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged
cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a
wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left the
glory of heaven to bear it to cold Calvary.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, till my
trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged
cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.

In that old rugged cross, which bore Love so divine, a
wondrous beauty I see, For upon that old cross Jesus
suffered and died to pardon and sanctify me.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, till my
trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged
cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, its
shame and reproach gladly bear; When God calls me some-day to my
home far away, there God's glory forever I'll share.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, till my
trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged
cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.

Prayer
Scripture: Hebrews 5:5-10
Deacon Pat Ells
So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him,
‘You are my Son,
   today I have begotten you’; 
as he says also in another place,
‘You are a priest for ever,
   according to the order of Melchizedek.’
