Assemble in God's Name Prelude
Congregational Introit * Christ is Made the Sure Foundation Prayer of Adoration*
Give Praise to God
Hymn of Praise ** Crown Him with Many Crowns Lighting the Candles Placing of the Bible Prayer of Confession Lord God, You have promised to be with us in every storm. Even so, we often behave like we are alone in life’s storms. Forgive us for facing life’s storms with fear rather than faith. When fear overtakes faith we become timid and cowardly. When fear crowds out faith, we become self-obsessed and unloving. When fear swamps our faith, our convictions fade into compromise and confusion. Oh, Lord of sea and sky, forgive us for letting fear lead us when the wind blows and the thunder roars. Hear us as we offer our fears to You… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response* Glory Be to the Father #546 Life of the Congregation **
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.

Invitation and Benediction* Postlude
Offering Our Gifts Precious Lord Thomas A. Dorsey/arr. Arnold Sevier Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light. Take my hand, Lord, and lead me home. When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near, When my life is almost gone, At the river, Lord, I stand, Guide my feet and hold my hand: Take my hand, Lord, and lead me home. Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544
