Responsive Reading from Psalm 22:22-24
Leader: I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you.
People: You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! 
Leader: Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
All: For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

Choruses         Change My Heart and Spirit of the Living God
Change my heart, O God, make it ever true.
Change my heart, O God, may I be like you.
You are the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, this is what I pray.
Change my heart O God, make it ever true.
Change my heart, O God, may I be like you.

Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.

Prayers of the People    

Message         “What Good is That?”           Mark 8:31-38             

Commitment Hymn       Take My Life, and Let It Be         UMH #399                
Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days; 
let them flow in ceaseless praise. 
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.

Take my will, and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own,
it shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

Benediction
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you 
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness, 
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing 
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
