Call to Worship - Psalm 25:1-9
Hymn - #147 “How Great Thou Art”
Verse 1
O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hand hath made
I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed
Chorus
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art
Verse 2
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze
Verse 3
And when I think that God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Verse 4
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then shall I bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art

Hymn of Invitation - #605 “Living for Jesus”
Chorus
O Jesus Lord and Savior
I give myself to Thee
For Thou in Thy atonement
Didst give Thyself for me
I own no other master
My heart shall be Thy throne
My life I give henceforth to live
O Christ for Thee alone
Verse 1
Living for Jesus a life that is true
Striving to please Him in all that I do
Yielding allegiance glad-hearted and free
This is the pathway of blessing for me
Verse 2
Living for Jesus who died in my place
Bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace
Such love constrains me to answer His call
Follow His leading and give Him my all
Verse 3
Living for Jesus wherever I am
Doing each duty in His holy name
Willing to suffer affliction or loss
Deeming each trial a part of my cross
Verse 4
Living for Jesus through earth's little while
My dearest treasure the light of His smile
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him

Benediction
September Benevolence - Pemberton Christian Caring Center
The Center serves as the Salvation Army Service Unit for Pemberton Township. Through this remarkable ministry, many area churches provide crucial support to meet needs for which there is no grant funding. This enables us to bridge a complicated gap between church and state. Salvation Army funds are particularly important for assisting with rapid rehousing. Family reunification is a cornerstone of this effort, so we use these funds to help clients travel home. These funds also help clients in crisis with needed medical care, including medications, eyeglasses and small medical equipment.
Recovery, Sobriety and Job Training
Christian Caring Center operates a four-bed men’s shelter in Pemberton dedicated to helping men in recovery from substance abuse issues. Staffed with an on-site manager, the shelter follows a structured program to provide accountability and Christian discipleship. Through the shelter and their other outreaches to people striving for a life of sobriety, they provide avenues for work experience and job training in retail, food service, maintenance, janitorial and office administration skills.
