Call to Worship - Psalm 116:1-4, 12-19
Hymn of Praise: "Here I am to Worship"
Verse 1
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
Chorus
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
Verse 2
King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
Bridge
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Prayer Time
NT Reading - 1 Peter 1:17-23
Hymn of Preparation - #415 "We Are Called to Be God’s People"
Verse 1
We are called to be God's people
Showing by our lives His grace
One in heart and one in spirit
Sign of hope for all the race
Let us show how He has changed us
And remade us as His own
Let us share our life together
As we shall around His throne
Verse 2
We are called to be God's servants
Working in His world today
Taking His own task upon us
All His sacred words obey
Let us rise then to His summons
Dedicate to Him our all
That we may be faithful servants
Quick to answer now His call
Verse 3
We are called to be God's prophets
Speaking for the truth and right
Standing firm for godly justice
Bringing evil into light
Let us seek the courage needed
Our high calling to fulfill
That we all may know the blessing
Of the doing of God's will

Hymn of Invitation - "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

Benediction
April Benevolence - Mission to Chinese Seamen
LIFE OF THE SEAFARER
“Without the contributions of the world’s 1.5 million seafarers, international trade would “simply grind to halt,” according to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a message delivered on June 25th to mark a worldwide celebration of the International Day of the Seafarer. Mr. Ban, a South Korean, urged people everywhere to think about the courageous men and women who handle as much as 90% of the cargo transported worldwide.”
“Seafarers face many emotional, physical and spiritual dangers at sea as they go about their daily routines and MCS seeks to share the love of Christ with them when God delivers them safely to the Philadelphia area ports. Rev. Lee effectively and compassionately shares the gospel with men arriving with a wide variety of practical needs. His words of encouragement based in scriptural truth uplifts them as they return to the often lonely and dangerous life at sea.”.
