TIME OF GREETING {Please extend a word of welcome and a hand of hospitality to each other.}

*HYMN OF PRAISE #361 Rock of Ages *THE AFFIRMATION OF OUR FAITH (In Unison) The Apostles’ Creed (#881 UMH) 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 Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic** church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. (**universal) MORNING PRAYER {Prayer cards are available in the pews. If you have or know of a prayer concern that needs to be brought to the pastor’s and/or congregation’s attention, please fill out the prayer card and place it in the offering plate. Prayers will be lifted up.}

STEWARDSHIP AND OFFERTORY 1 Peter 2:9-10 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. THE OFFERTORY PRAYER (In Unison) Heavenly Father, thank you for making us your people. We are the people who want to declare your praises for calling us from darkness to your wonderful light. We have received the mercy of Jesus and now we give of our financial resources so that this church can reach others with that same mercy. Bless this offering and may the Holy Spirit guide this church in your holy ministry. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

YOUNG PEOPLE’S TIME ANTHEM Dear Jesus in Whose Life I See NEW TESTAMENT READING (In Unison)Philippians 2:19-30 19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. 20 For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. 21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. 23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. 24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly. 25 Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need; 26 since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrow-ful. 29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem; 30 because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me. {NKJV} SERMON Rev. Kari L. Howard
