OPENING PRAYER
*HYMN Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah UM Hymnal, 127
PROCLAMATION AND RESPONSE
*AFFIRMATION The Apostle’s Creed UM Hymnal, 881 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 arose 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.
*GLORIA PATRI Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, in now, and ever shall be, world without end.
PSALTER Psalm 23 (KJV) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
CHORUS Jesus, Name Above All Names Hearn Jesus, name above all names,
Beautiful Savior, glorious Lord,
Emmanuel, God is with us,
Blessed Redeemer, living Word.
CALL TO PRAYER The Lord be with you.
And also with you. Let us pray.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
THE LORD’S PRAYER UM Hymnal, 895 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.
WORSHIPING GOD WITH OUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS
OFFERTORY It Is Well Bethel Jessie Matheson, Soloist; Lilly Matheson, Accompanist

Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
*PRAYER OF DEDICATION
CHILDREN’S TIME You Are My All in All Children’s Choir Piano-John Patrick Hutchinson

LESSON Acts 9:36-43
ANTHEM God of the Deep Forrest
SERMON Imitating Jesus
RESPONSE The Covenant Prayer UM Hymnal, 607 I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou will, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low by thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
