✞ Hymn - Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty
Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!

Praise ye the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,

Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise ye the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!

All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the amen Sound from His people again:
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
Unison and Silent Prayers of Confession Call to
God of grace, together we turn to you in prayer, for it is you who Confession:
unite us: you are the one God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—in 1 Peter 2:24
whom we believe, you alone empower us for good, you send us out
across the earth in mission and service in the name of Christ. Yet
we confess that we are so busy putting up walls between ourselves
and others, we cannot see the home you are building for all of us.
We spend so much time noting the differences between us and
others, we forget that each one is a bearer of your image. We run
to welcome those who look, talk, and act like us, while you throw
open your doors to the stranger, the alien, in our midst. Forgive us
when we wander from your love. Draw us into community with
each other, and feed us with the milk of your grace, that we may
grow in faithfulness and work together in peace. Affirmation of
Grace:
Response - Just As I Am, Without One Plea | vs. 4
Just as I am, Your love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Yours, yes, Yours alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Amen.

This is the Word
of the Lord ✞ Hymn - My Faith Looks Up to Thee
People: My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Thanks be to God! Savior divine:
Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day Be wholly Thine!

May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart,

My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire!

While life’s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread,

Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray, From Thee aside!

When ends life’s transient dream, When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll,
Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!

Prayers of the People and the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts, as
we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, If you have any
and the glory, forever. Amen. questions about the

Men and women, richer, poorer, fax: 614.882.1380
All God's people, young and old,
Blending human skills together
Gracious gifts from God unfold.

Thus new patterns for Christ's mission,

In a small or global sense,
Help us bear each other's burdens,
Breaking down each wall or fence.
Words of comfort, words of vision,
Words of challenge, said with care,
Bring new power and strength for action,
Make us colleagues, free and fair.

So God grant us for tomorrow

Ways to order human life
That surround each person's sorrow
With a calm that conquers strife.
Make us partners in our living,
Our compassion to increase,
Messengers of faith, thus giving
Hope and confidence and peace.
