God Calls Us
To Worship

Who rose victorious to the strife

For those He came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

The Call To Worship

Leader: God is our refuge and strength,
~ based on Psalm 46, 121
& Lamentations 3 ~

a very present help in trouble. I will lift

up my eyes to the hills. From where
does my help come?

!Unison: My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.
!Leader: This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
!Unison: The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases; his mercies never come to
an end; they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Prayer Of Adoration
Songs Of Praise & Worship

! Crown Him with Many Crowns

!
Crown Him with many crowns

The Lamb upon His throne

Hark! How the heavenly anthem
drowns
All music but its own
Awake, my soul and sing Of Him
Who died for thee
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity

!
Crown Him the Lord of love

Behold His hands and side

Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight
But downward bends His wond'ring eye
At mysteries so bright

Crown Him the Lord of life

Who triumphed o'er the grave

Crown Him the Lord of heav'n

One with the Father known
One with the Spirit through Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne
To Thee be endless praise
For Thou for us hast died
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified

!
More Than Conquerors
!
When my hope and strength is gone
You're the One who calls me on
You are the life, You are the fight
That's in my soul

!
Oh, Your resurrection pow'r

Burns like fire in my heart

When waters rise, I lift my eyes
Up to Your throne

!
chorus

We are more than conquerors

Through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

I will sing into the night

Christ is risen and on high
Greater is He living in me
Than in the world

!
No surrender, no retreat

We are free and we're redeemed

We will declare over despair
You are the hope

!
bridge

Nothing is impossible
Ev'ry chain is breakable
With You we are victorious
You are stronger than our hearts
You are greater than the dark
With You we are victorious

!
Come, thou fount of evry blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! Im fixed upon it
Mount of Gods unchanging love

!
Here I raise my Ebenezer

Hither by Thy help Im come

And I hope, by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor

Daily Im constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wandring heart to Thee
Prone to wanderLord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Heres my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

God Graciously
Renews Us In
Christ
Call To Repentance &
Renewal

!Leader: The Psalmist tells us,

!The Lord looks down from heaven; He
~ Psalm 33:13-14 ~

sees all the children of man; from where

He sits enthroned He looks out on all the
inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions
the hearts of them all and observes all
their deeds.

!
Prayer Of Confession
!
Leader: Merciful and Holy God, You

pardon all who truly turn from their sins

and look to You in faith. We humbly
confess our sins and ask for Your mercy:
we have not loved You with a pure heart,
nor have we loved our neighbour as
ourselves. We have not done justice,
loved kindness, or walked humbly with
You, our God.

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

!
Leader: Have mercy on us, O God. In
Your lovingkindness and great compassion, cleanse us from all our sins in
thought, word, and deed. Create in us
clean hearts, O God, and renew a right
spirit within us. Do not cast us from Your
presence or take Your Holy Spirit from
us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation
and sustain us with a willing spirit,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Unison: The people who walked in

darkness have seen a great light; those
who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on
them has light shined.

The Prayers Of The People

For The Church & City

Song Of Preparation

Our God, our Help in ages past

Our Hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal Home

Under the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defence is sure

Before the hills in order stood

Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same

Our God, our help in ages past

Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home

Our Confession Of Faith
!
~ based on Romans 8:1, 29, 38-39 ~
!
Leader: Let us together profess our
faith by saying
!Unison: We believe there is no

condemnation for those who are in

Christ Jesus; for we know that all things
work together for good for those who
love God, who are called according to
Gods purpose.

!We are convinced that neither life, nor

death, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things

present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Amen.
