Call to Worship
I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:1-3(ESV)
Worshiping God by Singing
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
O for a thousand tongues to sing,
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace
Jesus, the Name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace
He breaks the pow’r of reigning sin
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me
He speaks, and listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe
Hear Him ye deaf, His praise ye dumb
Your loosened tongues employ
Ye blind, behold your Savior come
And leap, ye lame, for joy
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy Name

Worshiping God by Confessing our Sins
Lord Jesus, I have sinned times without number. I have been guilty of pride and unbelief and of neglect to seek you in my daily life. My sins and shortcomings present me with a list of accusations, but because you died and rose from the dead they will not stand against me. Thank you for this wondrous mercy! Deliver me from every evil habit, every interest of former sins, everything that dims the brightness of your grace in me, everything that prevents me taking delight in you. Amen.
Worshiping God by Confessing our Hope
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:25-27
Worshiping God by Singing
Mighty To Save
Everyone needs compassion,
love that's never failing.
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness,
the kindness of a Savior,
the hope of nations
Savior, he can move the mountains,
my God is mighty to save,
he is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation,
he rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me,
all my fears and failures,
fill my life again
I give my life to follow,
everything I believe in,
now I surrender
Savior, he can move the mountains,
my God is mighty to save,
he is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation,
he rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave
Shine your light and
let the whole world see
we're singing
for the glory
of the risen King,
Jesus
Shine your light and
let the whole world see
we're singing
for the glory
of the risen King
Savior, he can move the mountains,
my God is mighty to save,
he is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation,
he rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave
Savior, you can move the mountains,
Lord, you are mighty to save,
you are mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation,
you rose and conquered the grave,
Yes, you conquered the grave

Sermon: Walking as Jesus Walked
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

Worshiping God by Celebrating the Lord's Supper
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
Matthew 26:26-29
Worshiping God by Singing
Rise up, O Church of God
Rise up, O church of God!
Be done with lesser things;
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
to serve the King of kings.
Rise up, O church of God!
His kingdom first in mind;
Seek the Lord’s glory and his praise
and place all else behind.
Rise up, O church of God!
He calls you to obey;
To do the works prepared for you;
to walk within his way.
So fix your eyes on Christ;
tread where his feet have trod;
As those who follow Christ the Son,
rise up, O church of God!
