Calling Song  "How Majestic Is Your Name"   TFWS #2023
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
O Lord, we praise your name.
O Lord, we magnify your name:
Prince of Peace, mighty God;
O Lord God Almighty.


O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
O Lord, we praise your name.
O Lord, we magnify your name:
Prince of Peace, mighty God;
O Lord God Almighty.

                                   
Responsive Reading from Psalm 126
          Leader: When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion we were like those who dream.
          People: Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongues with shouts of joy.
          Leader: Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
          All: Yes, the Lord has done great things for us! Let us rejoice.
 
Unison Invocation
O God, we are in awe of your grace. By that grace transform our gratitude into courage. Make us bold and visionary enough to pray not so much for victories or success but for worthy battles engaged, scars of faith endured, and the company of fellow believers enjoyed.
We thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hymn  "My Life Flows On"    TFWS #2212
My life flows on in endless song,
above earth’s lamentation.
I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.


Refrain:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth,
how can I keep from singing?


Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing.
It finds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]


What though my joys and comforts die,
I know my Savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth. [Refrain]


The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]


Old Testament Reading - Job 42:1-8
New Testament Reading - Mark 10:46-52

God’s Word for God’s People.  Thanks be to God!
 
Offertory with Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, ye heavenly host;
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
​

Prayer Song   "Seek Ye First"     UMH #405
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you
Allelu Alleluia

Ask and it shall be given unto you
Seek and ye shall find
Knock and it shall be opened unto you
Allelu Alleluia


Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer
 

Message:     "Once for All"         Hebrews 7:23-28

Commitment Hymn   "The Church’s One Foundation"  UMH #545
The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
we are a new creation
by water and the Word.
From heav’n he came and taught us
what perfect love can be;
through life and death he sought us,
and rose to set us free.


The church in ev’ry nation
is one through all the earth;
our charter of salvation,
one God, one faith, one birth;
one name together blessing,
one holy food we share,
to one hope ever pressing,
at one in work and prayer.


Still, schisms, tribulation,
and hatred fuel our war;
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore.
The saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.


Yet we on earth have union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic, sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally.



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.

Postlude
Thank you for Worshiping with us today!

Vernita Crowley and I want you to know how much we appreciate being able to listen to the sermons when they are posted on this website. We get together via telephone and listen to last weeks recording at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings, then have our coffee and cookies afterward and chat. It's not quite the same as actually being in church, but it is the best we can do at this time. We just wanted to express our gratitude.
