anthem Revelation Song arr. Larson Chancel Choir Dr. Keith Pedersen, Director

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain; Holy, holy is He.

Sing a new song to Him who sits on, Heaven’s mercy seat.

Clothed in rainbows of living color, Flashes of lighting rolls of thunder

Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be To You the only wise King

(Refrain) Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come.

With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings. You are my ev’rything and I will adore You.

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder, At the mention of Your name.

Jesus Your name is Power, Breath and Living Water Such a marvelous mystery (Refrain 2x)

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain; Holy, holy is He.

resPonsiVe Call to worshiP Psalm 32:1-7 Kay Foltz, Elder

Leader: Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.

PeoPle: When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

Leader: For day and night Your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

PeoPle: Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And You forgave the guilt of my sin.

Leader: Therefore let all the faithful pray to You while You may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.

PeoPle: You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

†oPening hymn #341 Come, Thou Almighty King

Come, Thou Almighty King. Help us Thy name to sing, Help us to praise: Father, all glorious, O’er all victorious,

Come, and reign over us, Ancient of Days.

Come, Thou Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword, our prayers attend: Come, and Thy people bless, and give Thy word success;

Spirit of holiness. On us descend.

Come, Holy Comforter, thy sacred witness bear in this glad hour: Thou who almighty art, now rule in every heart,

Never from us depart, Spirit of power.

To Thee, great One in Three, the highest praises be, hence evermore! Thy sovereign majesty may we in glory see,

And to eternity, love and adore.

“KEEPING YOUR ‘PROMISE’”saCrament oF holy Communion *Gluten free wafers available in the Narthex

†aPostle’s Creed Rev. Scott Mitchell I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

†Closing hymn #107 Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound—that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.
