January 23, 2011 “A Prayer or Repentance. TURN AROUND!”

“O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,  nor discipline me in your wrath.  

  Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;  heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.” 

Psalm 6:1‐2

Offering (We give our gifts to God)

I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have

learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do every-

thing through him who gives me strength.—Philippians 4:11-13 *Doxology

‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; praise him above ye heavenly host;

praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.” *Hymn 156 “I Love to Tell the Story” Benediction Postlude The Acolyte will take the light of Christ into the world * please stand if it is comfortable for you to do so
