* HYMN

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above | No. 126 * CREED

Dr. Marion Miller All: We are not alone, we live in God’s world.

We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit.

We trust in God. We are called to be the church: to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.

In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us.

We are not alone.

Thanks be to God. * GLORY TO GOD

Refrain: O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night (9:15 & 11AM)

One: Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens.

All: Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.

Refrain: O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night (9:15 & 11AM)

All: Show me where to walk, for to you I lift up my soul.

One: Teach me to do your will, for you are my God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, And to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.

And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain; for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him.
