OPENING PRAYER

PRAISE and WORSHIP
Praise
​​​
Let everything
That has breath
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
​
Let everything
that has breath
praise the Lord
praise the Lord
​
I'll praise in the valley
Praise on the mountain
I'll praise when I'm sure
Praise when I'm doubting
​
I'll praise when outnumbered
Praise when surrounded
'Cause praise is the water
My enemies drown in
​
As long as I'm breathing
I've got a reason to
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
​
I'll praise when I feel it
And I'll praise when I don't
I'll praise 'cause I know
You're still in control
​
My praise is a weapon
It's more than a sound
Oh, my praise is the shout
That brings Jericho down
​
As long as I'm breathing
I've got a reason to
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside?
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
I'll praise 'cause You're sovereign
Praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave
I'll praise 'cause You're faithful
Praise 'cause You're true
Praise 'cause there's nobody greater than You
​
I'll praise 'cause You're sovereign

Praise 'cause You're true
Praise 'cause there's nobody greater than You
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
I won't be quiet
I won't be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
I won't be quiet
My God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
I won't be quiet
My God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
​
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
​

​
Let it Begin
​
For the damage done
For the victories won
For the gift and for the grieving
Letting go and moving on
For the thorn in my side
For the war in my pride
Every single day of darkness
Holding out for morning light
There's a river that delivers me to freedom
And the current of His mercy brings restoration
If my wounds could tell one story
Let it be a testimony
That You don't leave me where I've been
If this is healing, let it begin
For my highest low
For my frail ego
All the breaking and the mending
All the seeds that I had sown
For the dreams that died
For the tears I've cried
For the weakness that bears witness
To the grace that You supply
There's a river that delivers me to freedom
And the current of His mercy brings restoration
If my wounds could tell one story
Let it be my testimony
That You don't leave me where I've been
If this is healing, let it begin
Let it begin
Let healing begin
Let healing begin
Without and within
There's a river that delivers me to freedom
And the current of His mercy brings restoration
If my wounds could tell one story
Let it be a testimony
That You don't leave me (you don't leave me)
Where I've been (where I've been before, no)
If this is healing, let it begin (yeah!)
Let it begin
Let healing begin
Let healing begin
Without and within
You don't leave me where I've been
If this is healing, let it begin
​
SCRIPTURE LESSON
​​​
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
​
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?
12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
​
Acts 2:42-47
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
​
Matthew 22:37-40
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
​
A TIME OF CELEBRATION AND PRAYER
​
PASTORAL PRAYER
​
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven
hallowed by 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.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. AMEN
​
OFFERING and OFFERTORY SONG
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given

Give thanks with a grateful heart

[Chorus]
And now let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich

​HYMN - "Loving God, Loving Each Other"
​​
Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends
They pushed back from the table
To listen to His words
His secret plan before He had to go
It's not complicated
Don't need a lot of rules
This is all you'll need to know
Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends
We tend to make it harder
Build steeples out of stone
Fill books with explanations of The Way
But if we'd stop and listen
And break a little bread
We would hear the Master say
Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends
Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends
And the story never ends
No the story never ends
