                                                   CALL TO WORSHIP (In Unison)                         

Whether we have gone up to the mountain with Jesus to pray, or we have dared to step out onto the water at His command, whether we advance in loving confidence, or suffer from doubt and lack of faith, Jesus will always be there to take us by the hand. 

Let us worship the Living God

 AMEN

Hymn Today: “Take My Life”

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise, Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee, Swift and beautiful for Thee.

SONG OF RESPONSE: “Take My Life”

Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;

Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee, Ever, only, all for Thee.

 THE LORD’S PRAYER (In Unison)

 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.  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

OUR BENEDICTION AND DEPARTURE (In Unison)

May the Lord bless us and keep us. May the Lord make His face to shine upon us and be gracious to us. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us and give us peace. Amen.
