Life of the Church | I Saw The Light | Rev. Barbara Thursby |
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. |
||
Passing of the Peace | I Believe | Praise Band |
ALL: When confronted by temptations, we are easily overcome. They allure us with promises we find hard to resist. We harbor fantasies of how our lives might have been. Our dreams become pervasive, hiding the truth of your love. O God, have mercy upon us; enable us to discern deception when it appears. Enlighten us to your genuine renewal in Christ. AMEN |

Prelude | God Welcomes All | Judy Chown |
It was clearly fitting that God for whom and through whom all things exist should, in bringing many sons to glory, make the leader who delivers them perfect through sufferings. For since Christ himself has passed through the test of suffering, he is able to help those who are meeting their test now. |
