“On the Road”

Rev. Drumheller

Philippians 2:6-11 We believe in Jesus Christ, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form,

he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore, God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

† THE PEACE One:

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Many: And also with you.

WELCOME (Please sign the Friendship Register) THE OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS TO GOD (Text 267-367-4910 to give) ANTHEM Rise Now, My Heart, with Gladness

J. S. Bach Rise now, my heart with gladness; see what the Lord has done! Gone is all gloom and sadness, now shines the glorious sun! Like Christ, we too shall lie lifeless till he draw nigh and bids us then to rise to dwell above the skies. He in the grave descended, the foe held jubilee; death’s darkest powers are ended, and Christ again is free. Now victory, he cries as glory fills the skies. Our grateful songs ascend with joy that has no end. We to heaven’s shining splendor shall rise to realms of light. There we all praise shall render to Christ in glory bright. My Savior is my shield by him all rage is stilled; all who in him shall die are raised to dwell on high.
