Call to Worship
Loving God,
on this celebrative day, many may join us for worship
who do not regularly join with your people.
We pray for the gift of hospitality today,
that our community will welcome them with open arms.
May each worshiper sense the power of the gospel today
and be drawn closer to you, by the power of your Spirit.
Amen.
Hymn of Praise - "Thrive"
Intro
Oh oh
Verse 1
Here in this worn and weary land
Where many a dream has died
Like a tree planted by the water
We never will run dry
Pre-Chorus
So living water flowing through
God we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls
With one desire
Chorus
Just to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on high
Shine like the sun make darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more
Than ordinary lives
It's time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive
Verse 2
Into Your Word we're digging deep
To know our Father's heart
Into the world we're reaching out
To show them who You are
Bridge
Joy unspeakable
Faith unsinkable
Love unstoppable
Anything is possible
(REPEAT 3X)
Interlude
Oh oh
Oh oh
Ending
We were made to thrive

Hymn of Invitation - #358 "Because He Lives"
Verse 1
God sent His Son they called Him Jesus
He came to love heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives
Chorus
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
Verse 2
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because Christ lives
Verse 3
And then one day I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns
