“Don’t Keep It A Secret” Offering (We give our gifts to God)
So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently, if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.—Romans 12:5-8 NIV *Doxology ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Leader: Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths.
praise Him, all creatures here below; praise him above ye heavenly host;
Congregation: Let us bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord! *Opening Hymn 467 “Trust and Obey” Invitation to Prayer, Hymn 474 “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” Pastoral Prayer, closed with the Lord’s Prayer in Unison 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, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 2:6-9 (pg NT156)
