Welcome Guests If you are a first-time guest, please complete a guest card from a pew pocket or Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may acknowledge your visit and get acquainted with you. We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven’t yet come to the end of themselves. We’re still trying to give orders, and interfering with God’s work within us.

– A.W. Tozer

+Communion and Hymn of Response 499 “I Surrender All”

SURRENDER

Please sing with us during communion.

All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live.

Refrain: I surrender all, I surrender all; All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender, humbly at His feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken, take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender, make me, Savior, wholly Thine; Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit, truly know that Thou art mine.

All to Jesus I surrender; Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power; let Thy blessing fall on me.

The worship of the living God invites our response. Those who wish to profess faith in Christ and/or to unite with the church are invited to come forward and share your decision with the pastor.
