Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Gathering Song “Blessed Be the Name” UMH #63
Blessed be the name!
Blessed be the name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name!
Blessed be the name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Responsive Reading from Psalm 104
Leader: Praise the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
People: The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
Leader: He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
People: He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.
All: I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Unison Invocation
Heavenly Father, You taught the stars to sing but the heavens cannot contain your glory. Nor can this place contain your holiness. But may our words and music carry to you how glad we are to be in your presence, experiencing your tender mercies and grace. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hymn of Praise “Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty” UMH #64
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy
There is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity.

Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
Oh thy works shall praise Thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Prayer Song “Near to the Heart of God” UMH #472
There is a place of quiet rest,
near to the heart of God,
a place where sin cannot molest,
near to the heart of God.

Refrain:
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
sent from the heart of God,
hold us, who wait before thee,
near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,
near to the heart of God,
a place where we our Savior meet,
near to the heart of God. [Refrain]

There is a place of full release,
near to the heart of God,
a place where all is joy and peace,
near to the heart of God. [Refrain]

Prayers of the People with the Lord’s Prayer

Sermon “The Source of Eternal Salvation” Hebrews 5:1-12

Commitment Hymn “Thank You, Lord” UMH #84
Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord,
thank you, Lord,
I just want to thank you, Lord.


Been so good, been so good,
been so good,
I just want to thank you, Lord.

Unison 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.
