Welcome & Greetings
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Come! Now is the time to worship!
Come! Now is the time to worship!
We come to worship God who protects and provides!
When the Israelites were pursued by the Egyptian army, God provided protection.
God provides in unexpected and miraculous ways.
God does protect and provide in unexpected ways, but we need to trust Him;
We respond to God’s provision by praise and thanksgiving!
*Opening Hymn ‘Blessed Assurance’ UMH# 369
*Opening Prayer(in Unison)
We ask you, O Lord, for the gifts of your Spirit. Enable us to penetrate the depth of the whole truth, and grant that we may share with others the goods you have put at our disposal. Teach us to overcome divisions. Send us your Spirit to lead to full unity your sons and daughters in obedience to your will through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Hymn Lyrics
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, 0 my soul.
I'll worship Your holy name.
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning;
It's time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the even- ing comes.
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger.
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind.
For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing;
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near, and my time has come;
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:
Ten thousand years and then fore - - vermore!
I'll worship Your holy name.
Yes, I'll worship Your holy name.
