Call to Worship
   Calling Song       "Holy, Holy"     TFWS #2039 
Holy, holy, holy, holy, 
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty;
And we lift our hearts before you as a token of our love,
Holy, holy, holy, holy.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, 
Hallelujah, hallelujah;
And we lift our hearts before you as a token of our love,
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Responsive Reading from Psalm 107
Leader: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 
People: Let the redeemed of the Lord say this – those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. 
Leader: Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
People: Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
All: Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds.
   
Unison Invocation  
Lord, make it second nature for us to do 
what is right in your sight. 
May this time of worship help us be more concerned 
with your will than ours 
just as we see in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. 
We pray in his name. Amen.
      
Old Testament Reading - Numbers 21:4-9             
Gospel Reading - John 12:20-33
God’s Word for God’s people, Thanks be to God!

Hymn     "Open My Eyes, That I May See"        UMH #454
Open my eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.

(Refrain)
Silently now I wait for thee, 
Ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my mouth, and let me bear
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with thy children thus to share.  (Refrain)

Prayers of the People    

Message   “The Divine Conjunction”  Ephesians 2:1-10             

Commitment Hymn      "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"        UMH #140 
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee;
Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.

(Refrain)
Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see,
All I have needed thy hand hath provided;
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside! (Refrain)

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 "Think about His Love" arr. Carl Seal
