GIVE PRAISE TO GOD
Hymn of Praise** To God Be the Glory Not in Hymnal Lighting of Candles/Placing the Bible Life of the Congregation** Affirmation of Faith: Heidelberg Catechism* Pastor: What is your only comfort in life and in death? All: That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him. Memorial Hymn* For All the Saints Not in Hymnal

Those who are able, please stand. Ushers will seat latecomers at this time.

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 debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Offering Our Gifts Ain’t Got Time to Die Hall Johnson Lord, I keep so busy praising my Jesus, ain’t got time to die. ‘Cause when I’m healing the sick, I’m praising my Jesus, ain’t got time to die. ‘Cause it takes all my time to praise my Jesus, All of my time to praise my Lord. If I don’t praise Him the rocks gonna cry out, “Glory and honor! Glory and honor!” Ain’t got time to die.
Now, won’t you get out of my way, let me praise my Jesus? Out of my way! Let me praise my Lord. If I don’t praise Him the rocks gonna cry out, “Glory and honor, glory and honor!” Ain’t got time to die! Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544

MEMORIAL SUNDAY Today, we claim the hope that is ours because of Jesus’ resurrection. As we read the names of our members who have gone to be with the Lord, taking their place in “the Church Triumphant,” we do so knowing that death has been swallowed up in life.
