*Opening Hymn 117 “O God, Our Help In Ages Past” Special Music by the Styer Choir Sharing of Joys and Concerns for Prayer Invitation to Prayer, Hymn 698 “God of the Ages” Pastoral Prayer, closed with the Lord’s Prayer in Unison

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

The Children are dismissed for Children’s Church in the basement “Come and Dine” John 21:9-14 (page NT109) Offering (We give our gifts to God)

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful de-

sires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.—I Timothy 6:6-10 NIV

*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.” *Closing Hymn 717 “Battle Hymn of the Republic” Benediction Postlude The Acolyte will take the light of Christ into the world * please stand if it is comfortable for you to do so
