Call to Worship—
Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty— he is the King of glory.
—Psalm 24:7-10, NIV

You servants of God your master proclaim
And publish abroad his wonderful name
The name all victorious of Jesus extol
His kingdom is glorious and rules over all

God ruleth on high almighty to save
And still He is nigh His presence we have
The great congregation his triumph shall sing
Ascribing salvation to Jesus our king

'Salvation to God who sits on the throne '
Let all cry aloud and honour the Son
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim
Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb

Then let us adore and give him his right
All glory and power all wisdom and might
All honour and blessing - with angels above -
And thanks never ceasing and infinite love

Hymn of Invitation - “I Saw the Light”
Verse 1
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Chorus
I saw the light I saw the light
No more in darkness no more in night
(And) now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Verse 2
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Verse 3
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light

JUNE BENEVOLENCE - ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” - Matthew 5:14-15
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…Let it shine…Let it shine…”
If Jesus had a playlist of music, surely this familiar hymn would be among the Top Five. Jesus teaches that faith calls for action. Sharing our light, as the diverse and colorful expression of Gold’s love here on earth, leads to making blankets, staffing food pantries, cooking meals, building houses and schools, signing petitions for worth causes, and protesting injustices. A simple song with a simple message-our light is on a light stand, for all to see-shine and share. On any give day, light is shining because we are there through our gifts to OGHS. Your contributions make a difference. Your dollars count. Give generously at www.abc-oghs.org.
