Call to Worship—

Give the king your justice, O God,
that he may rule your people righteously
and the poor with justice.
In his time will righteousness flourish;
there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more. He shall rule from sea to sea,
and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Come, let us worship God.

Hymn of Praise - ”Thy Word”

Chorus

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Verse 1

When I feel afraid
And I think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Verse 2

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide
And hold me to Your side
I will love You to the end

Hymn of Invitation - #668 “I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go”

Chorus

I'll go where You
Want me to go dear Lord
Over mountain or plain or sea
I'll say what You
Want me to say dear Lord
I'll be what You want me to be

Verse 1

It may not be on
The mountain's height
Or over the stormy sea
It may not be at
The battle's front
My Lord will have need of me
But if by a still
Small voice He calls
To paths I do not know
I'll answer dear Lord
With my hand in Thine
I'll go where You want me to go

Verse 2

Perhaps today there
Are loving words
Which Jesus would
Have me speak
There may be now
In the paths of sin
Some wanderer
Whom I should seek
O Savior if Thou wilt
Be my guide
Though dark and rugged the way
My voice shall echo
The message sweet
I'll say what You
Want me to say

Verse 3

There's surely somewhere
A lowly place
In earth's harvest fields so wide
Where I may labor
Through life's short day
For Jesus the crucified
So trusting my all
Unto Thy care
I know Thou lovest me
I'll do Thy will
With a heart sincere
I'll be what You want me to be

January Benevolence — International Rescue Committee

If people do not have the power to make important decisions, they will struggle to improve their lives. The International Rescue Committee helps those who are recovering from conflict and disaster understand their rights and make informed choices for their futures.”

IRC works to:

• Ensure that people are able to choose where to live

• Ensure that people are able to choose how to live

• Ensure that people are able to influence the decisions that affect their lives

• Ensure that women and girls are equally able as men and boys to choose where to live, how to live, and how they are governed

• Ensure that marginalized groups are equally able as the dominant group to choose where to live, how to live, and how they are governed

COME SING WITH US!

Our next choir rehearsal will be today, Sunday, January 19th after worship. All are welcome!
