Call to Worship—
We give thanks to you, God our Father, for mercy that reaches out,
for patience that waits our returning, for your love that is ever ready
to welcome sinners.
We praise you that in Jesus Christ you came to us with forgiveness, and that, by your Holy Spirit, you move us to repent
and receive your love.
Though we are sinners,
you are faithful and worthy of all praise. We praise you, great God,
in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Hymn of Praise - “Let Everything That Hs Breath”
Chorus
Let ev'rything that
Ev'rything that
Ev'rything that has breath
Praise the Lord
Let ev'rything that
Ev'rything that
Ev'rything that has breath
Praise the Lord
Verse 1
Praise You in the morning
Praise You in the evening
Praise You when I'm young
And when I'm old
Praise You when I'm laughing
Praise You when I'm grieving
Praise You ev'ry season of the soul
Bridge
If we (they) could see
How much You're worth
Your pow'r Your might
Your endless love
Then surely we would
Never cease to praise
Verse 2
Praise You in the heavens
Joining with the angels
Praising You forever and a day
Praise You on the earth now
Joining with creation
Calling all the nations to Your praise

Hymn of Invitation -#603 “Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken”
Verse 1
Jesus I my cross have taken
All to leave and follow Thee
Destitute despised forsaken
Thou from hence my all shall be
Perish every fond ambition
All I've sought or hoped or known
Yet how rich is my condition
God and heaven are still my own
VERSE 2
Let the world despise and leave me
They have left my Savior too
Human hearts and looks deceive me
Thou art not like man untrue
And while Thou shalt smile upon me
God of wisdom love and might
Foes may hate and friends may shun me
Show Thy face and all is bright
Verse 3
Hasten on from grace to glory
Armed by faith and winged by prayer
Heaven's eternal days before me
God's own hand shall guide me there
Soon shall close my earthly mission
Swift shall pass my pilgrim days
Hope shall change to glad fruition
Faith to sight and prayer to praise
